The Blog With No Name

Finally finally finally – I have a computer running linux (Ubuntu 8.04 Server) hooked up to our network. It is headless (no monitor, no keyboard), I access it from a terminal prompt on my Windows computer (go, puTTY!). I plan to learn a little bit about Apache (web server), mySQL (database), and other assorted webby things. YAY! Hours of fun, and all FREE!

The Boy has got some drums for a combined birthday/school band (that part won’t start for a few years) present. Drums. I do own many sets of earplugs, strategically placed throughout the house…

I had a one-hour tutorial today with the owner of “my” gym. I now have A PLAN – one machine for each of the six major muscle groups, plus abs and cardio. I know the proper form for each machine, and how many reps and sets (12 and 3, generally). Woot! I am implacably quelling the urge to go looking for JUST THE RIGHT weightlifting log to print on index cards, or put on my Palm, or whatever. I will use a plain old notebook (with a small fountain pen however). I’m hoping that a change in the routine will get me out of the rut I’ve been in this spring.
