And so 2011 comes to a close. Many neat things have happened and we’ve lost many important people this year.
Let us take count of what we have and what’s to come.
Happy 2012 everyone. 365 to go.

A long ride…
Wow. So the database fell over and I never had the time to fix it.
I fixed it today. Sorry to anyone who may have been inconvenienced. wp_options table was broken.
Goodbye Steve…
Henry Ford. Thomas Edison.
And then there was Steve Jobs.
One of the greatest innovators in American history. He changed the way we all work, play and perceive computers and consumer electronics. The man, with the help of his talented group of engineers and designers, created a multi-billion dollar industry. He had a vision and he didn’t give up until it was complete.
See ya Steve. I’ll make sure to fire up the Apple II every once in a while for you.
Completely disorganized…
Inanis.net is completely disorganized.
I’m thinking of burning it down and rebuilding it from scratch. Use WordPress “network” functionality and put all the Wiki pages into WordPress with a single codebase, then organize the sites by Categories instead of pages.
All old content? Sequestered into some place somewheres until I can fix it. Maybe.
New hardware and cleaning
I have acquired a Commodore 64. No, an old one. A breadbox. Complete with a whole bunch of stuff, software, printers, accessories, etc.. I might add it to the computer museum page at some point, but I just don’t really have the attention span to do that. It works, kinda. Power supply is wonky. Going to build a custom supply out of two wall warts and some determination, then we’ll see how well it works.
About the museum: Now that I’m at the new place, I have much more room for equipment, and because it’s in the basement on a concrete floor I can acquire much heavier stuff without worrying about the house collapsing.
I’ve cleaned up the computer room/museum, too. Here’s what “clean” looks like. Trust me, it was a nightmare about 5 hours ago.
This is what it looks like, August 2011, in "tidy" mode. You don't want to know what "messy" mode is.
