House on Red Corner · 2005-10-22
So we had a wonderful lazy fall day. The weather was beautiful. Overcast skies, windy and slightly chilly, it rained here and there but mostly it was just gray and mellow. You might call it dreary or bleak, but that is months ahead of us, late February early March, in October it is a very welcome relief from the terrible heat (>70F) and blistering sun. Eliza-Jane is quite particular about the wind, the faster the better.
Everyone seemed to need a large amount of time in bed today, only in typical EckenrodeHouse fashion, not all at the same time. There were times when we all intersected in the bed and when that happened there were some great family powwows. EJ really likes to laugh and “geting her nose” or pulling her chin will sometimes do the trick. If she is feeling cheeky, she’ll grab your nose or chin in response. It is quite amazing to see the beginnings of her personality unfold.
Other than the busy family life today, I worked with a buddy on his website, and continued making progress on the alignment of my computer array. My goal is to network all the machines together and to be able to file share between them. As I am doing this, I am learning immense amounts of background information on computers and the integration of their particular science. Ultimately, I want to create an art project that is a blend of computers, light and sculpture. This will result in an environment where the viewer is the user is the data is part of the process. No clue yet as to how I will create such a monster of work, but little by little pieces come.
I GOT THE TOSHIBA TO DISPLAY THE GUI IN UBUNTU LINUX!!!! It only took two months of research and learning, hair-pulling, teeth-gnashing, command line bash-ing and whatnot, but at last! I got it to run proper! It’s slooooow right now, but hey, I’m getting it squared away!~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~
