Superduper geek crap accomplished this weekend…

1) Install Yellow-Dog Linux on an older PowerMac G3 I have (we don’t need no steenking Mac OS!) It’s up now–192.168.26.21 on my home network. Muhaha.

2) Install DCLinux on my old DREAMCAST. Yup, that’s right…a RAM/ROM based Linux box, blazingly, achingly fast….running of a former game system console. Almost done. It’ll be 192.168.26.201, machine name “traumeri.”

I’ve already upgraded my Handspring to a Sharp Zaurus 5600–a PDA that runs Linux (I have Apache/PHP running on it, hosting a small version of one of my websites…).

My next projects will be to install Slackware Linux on the leaf-blower and lawnmower and write two daemons (tentatively named “mowd” and “blowd”) that I can add to these devices as cron jobs to automatically do the yardwork. I’ll have to sync the clocks on the leaf blower and lawn mower, though, otherwise I might end up with some device conflicts if blowd kicks off before mowd has finished executing…
