Worked on my docs yesterday but didn't do as much as I should have. I got distracted by a side project. I decided to dual boot one of my old mac mini machines. I still haven't really come up with a solution for replacing faceless Joe as a media server and though well, maybe if I use one of the minis that might work. But when I used one before it wasn't quite powerful enough and part of that was due to OS overhead. So I decided screw it, I will reduce down the OS by putting Linux Mint on there. Actually went pretty smooth in terms of install and configuration. I also was able to get it setup with a remote viewer. I won't even need a head unit with it. Less deskspace all around. I got the OS installed and configured and now just need to see if I can get plex on there and running. If so, I will swap it out with Joe and see what happens.
Watched some TV with B. New book came in the mail which I need to find some time to read. The Invention of Sound from Chuck. It's a small book in comparison to some of his other work, but I am still excited to read it.
Had a hodge podge dinner because neither of us wanted to cook. Leftovers, salad, etc.
Three straight days of teaching for me. I am happy about that situation. Nobody to bug me for a few days. Whee!
