Bitter cold this morning, there was ice on the front door. As I looked out the window I could see the red blaze of sunrise on the tops of the trees and houses. The sky was stark clear. I thought you rarely see such a clear red sunrise in the middle of winter, and wondered what the weather would bring. It brought snow.

Got Open Office and FireFox loaded on Methuselah yesterday after I upped the RAM. This is an amazing machine. Ancient (Crucial could not recognize the hardware or brand) and runs like a rock. Windows 2000. Might be changing that to Intrepid Ibex later. (or sooner.)

Very cold today and windy. Trying an Ubuntu 8.10 Live CD on a rather dead Toshiba laptop. Don't think it is going to work. I am probably not going to gut it and look for loose connections on the motherboard, and the new hard drive did not work, so this may be it's last chance.
