# On the in between

I find myself without a project. It has been this way for
some time now. I have read two books in the last week,
installed 9front on a Raspberry Pi (and learned I definitely
prefer *NIX to the sequel), acquired more Palm devices, and
taken up video games on those devices as a diversion. Yet
none of these are a project. I am left feeling "meh."
I have always preached to my children that being bored is
for the boring. So, in this case I need to practice my own
advice.
## Idea One
I may take up coding for Palm OS. I have onboard C and all
the tools that go with it, as well as a copy of "Palm OS
Programming Bible" to refer to. I need to do some outlining
and figure out some itches to scratch.
## Idea Two
Get an NNTP server working in isolation on one of the RPi's.
This would be in preparation for eventual micropubnix
federation. For that matter, I should just look into opening
up shell accounts via ssh on a high port (port 22 is already
exposed via my router and I need my main box to stay on
that port as it is hittable at work). I think I would theme
this community as specifically a resource for retro PDA
enthusiasts, with an app hoard and other offerings. I like
this idea.
## Idea Three
Go with reading books and realize that sometimes there is an
in between time.
Idea three does not rule out ideas one and two, it merely
allows all time constraints to be loosened. Much to think
over now.
