Yay!
The Visualize workstation arrived today in perfect condition. W00t! Only problem is that the lowest that it can do is 1280x1024@75Hz (well I knew about this before, having learnt that HP boxes did incredible res several years back), and my moniter doesn't do that. Whoups. It's great to have a HP-UX box again ... being reacquainted with HP-UX which was one of the first genetic Unixes that I had physically access to felt great. Should hook it up to the serial console. But I've booted it and I know it works (because there is always X :1 -query)

Went hiking yesterday. Had great fun! Certainly one of the most enjoyable outings.

Not so good: Exams tomorrow.
Not so good: I need a new powerboard. With so many electrical applicances I ran out of power sockets.
I am going to leave the computers turned on during my stay in HK just so that I can ssh back in. Among the stuff that must be done would include getting iiimf-xcin cleaned up. I've mentioned I would do this several times already, just that exams and work are always such are PITA.
