## This Week

I took vacation time this week. Last weekend, I was the *minister*
for my oldest daughter's wedding. It went well. This week I have
decided to do not much. I have a project going installing an SSD and
Gnu/Linux on a 2012 Mac Mini. The SSD is coming today. I made a
promise to the friend that gave me the Mac Mini that I would smash
the hard drive. Since it is going to be smashed anyways, I attempted
to install Manjaro BSPWM edition on it since I had a USB drive already
laying around. It did not go well. The install kept failing. Since
I intend to plug this into my living room TV, I figured I'd make it
user friendly and whatnot. So to that end, I am downloading the Ubuntu
installation ISO. I think I'll hook up an external USB hard drive
and put some movies and music on it since it's going to live in the
front room.

## Coming Up

Next week I'll be in Alabama installing some equipment. The week
after I am moving my mother into my house. I am never around and she
is getting older, so it just made sense. I get someone to look after
the house and she gains a support system.

## To Another Phlogger

xiled [phlogged about Rasperry Pi projects][1] and featured a photo
of stunning looking wood and glass cases for it all. That is sexy
as hell. Just wanted to give you a nod.
