Again cloudy and 3°C but a bit less dry then yesterday. I didn't see the full solar eclipse - well if you stand on the moon it is - but only some part of the last phase while driving to Venlo. Finding a break in the clouds for a view to the moon while driving at 130km/h is not simple. I did get a few glimpses but trough the clouds everything remained hazy. (No, that haziness had nothing to do with my speed) (I think). Ronny did implement the changes we discussed yesterday along with some minor other changes. While I started on the next V9 project. I created the Database file for the Project and Consulting Administration (PCA from now on). With some luck I do the first program on Monday Pieter and Jan came in again to discuss some issues concerning the Quality Control system (Customer Complaints module in TeleSales). After a somewhat heated argument about priorities Pieter laid down his requirements and discussed them with Theo. We (Ronny and me) were not involved but they discussed the whole time there and then, in the middle of an open plan office. Royally shooting our concentration. Lots of trafic but no pileups so I am home late, about 20h00, but not exceptionally. I dug out an old chip from my spares bin ,well two years is really old for a chip, to try it in the box I assembled on Wednesday. This is an AMD K6, capable of 200Mhz, which, coupled to 64MB of RAM and a 6GB disk, should be capable enough for a Linux box. I just inserted the chip, rejumpered the mobo for a 66MHz bus and it starts up normally; until I get to the "no keyboard found, press F1 to continue message". I don't have a keyboard yet so that is not surprising. I have no idea what is left on the hard disk, but whatever it is I am going to wipe it clean and dump Linux on it. Adios |
