Still too hot at night with a few bursts of light rain, hardly enough to moisten the soil but the top temperatures are down to the middle twenties.

We have a holiday in Belgium (Ascension of Marry) so I stay home. That is one advantage of working out of the country. We have free on Belgian holidays because we work for a Belgian firm, but we also are free on Dutch holidays because we are employed at a Dutch company.

I have been busy almost the whole day clearing out some space and moving Caitlan to my main desk (still in the bedroom). And I installed Linux (Caldera eDesktop 2.4) on it.

That took the whole evening. I had the installation lock up three times. The main reason though was that I read a book (with Beethoven's 7th on the background) while installing so I paid not much attention when I had to enter things. I think everything works.
I am not sure because it is not on a network and I have no speakers connected all the rest seems to work.

I have got a KVM with serial mouse and AT keyboard but no sound pass trough. A cursory search in t'net didn't turn up any. I know KVM switches are intended to hook multiple servers up to one Keyboard-Video-Mouse and servers typically don't need sound. But there must bee enough people using these switches on multiple workstations to find some with sound support. Maybe I should wait and check Bobs hardware book


Adios
