10:23 AM - (no subject)

 Wow I haven't blogged for a month.  My trip to germany went OK.  I found that I like German beer more than I should.  I also got a chance to meet another BSD developer in Germany.  That was nice.  It's good to talk to someone that understands all the work to build an operating system.  

I've spent the last week working on a newsletter that will never get complete.  The client hates it.  It's a large automotive company.  Next week I must rewrite the mail send code to selectively attach images because their ancient Lotus Notes environment can't handle IMAGES in HTML email.  Cheap bastards, call IBM.  

MidnightBSD progress has been slow.  I just want 0.3 out the door so I can start on something new.

Last November, I bought an Iomega Prestige USB 1.5 TB HDD at Best Buy.  It was used to backup the new hard drive I had to buy for my iMac.  The drive has been disconnecting or powering off when in use.  I've tried connecting it to my PC running Vista and Caryn's Mac Pro with no luck.  I contacted Iomega and they sent me a new power adapter.  That did not work.  I suspected the enclosure.  Last night, I gave up and pulled the drive from the enclosure and ran a Samsung tool on it.  The sector scan passed.  The drive itself is fine as far as I can tell.  I'm just going to order a new enclosure for it.
