I know now why my buddy was unhappy with this little mini box. It's slow. Like excruciatingly slow. I put linux on it dammit. The least amount of overhead needed by an OS ever. I almost want to buy a mac mini instead and use that. But that would set me back $500 and it's not worth it. I will test this little box out this week and see just how bad it is. If it can't transcode fast enough to send things over the network then I will rethink my plans. I did manage to get everything I needed installed on it. The fun of linux was doing most of it at the command line. Whee. In the end it worked, even with some graphic glitches. I just don't know if it can keep up.

Worked on a new class yesterday and was able to finish it. We are splitting up our Tableau training into multiple chunks and I needed to dissect our current class, add some stuff, and see how it's all going to play out. Got it all done.

I finished all my electrical work too. We moved the light which had been in the dining room to the front entrance to give more light there, took that light and move it to the front room as there was only a small spot there before. We now have a ton of light everywhere. Makes me happy.

Made chicken for dinner. Watched our Wednesday TV, then went to bed around 10. B decided to give me a manicure while we were watching stuff. I must admit, my nails look better even if they are too short for my taste. She is a bit crazy about nails and cuts them down to the bone. That drives me nuts. I like a little nail there thank you. In her world she would pull all of hers out.

Pretty good day overall. Two more days of teaching the same class I taught earlier this week. But only four students instead of 12. I did talk to the group in Reno yesterday and it looks like that is going to be confirmed. Once it's confirmed I need to book hotel, arrange for cat sitting, and plan out the week. April is almost here and it's going to be crazy.
