I am typing this entry using Notepad++ on the Windows 10
install of my modern PC. I downloaded one of my entries from
a while ago that I made using Textra, so that I could use it
as a template, and attempt to keep the formatting close to
how it usually is on my entries. We will see how it goes,
I suppose.
Presently I have several projects I'm bouncing back
and forth between. I'm still working on getting my Pi4 to
serve ISOs to my PS2 using SMB. It is not going well at
all. If anyone reading has any experience doing this, please
email if you can help me out. I've attempted to follow a few
different guides and have even tried preconfigured Pi images
but I am having no luck at all.
I have been doing some messing around with my Commodore
64 again, after I recently got a user port WiFi modem for it.
I have an alarm clock/radio/TV I am using for a monitor using
the external antenna port and an RCA cable with a 3.5mm
adapter on it, a Pi3 with a Pi-1541 FDD emulator installed for
my disk drive, and CGGMS for my terminal. I am not super
familiar with the C64 so progress is slow, but my goal is to
successfully make an entry here and to make a mastodon post
with it.
Due to the drop in temperature, my garage projects are
on hold at the moment. If I can sort out a safe, affordable
way to heat it up a little bit, all of the parts I need to
rebuild this 1980s Craftsman bench-top bandsaw I found at the
thrift store a few months back have finally been delivered,
and I can start on that. Having a bandsaw at my disposal will
really open up the kinds of woodworking projects I can
reasonably take on, as right now I don't even have a way to
properly rip a board. It won't be as big a gamechanger as a
table saw would be, but it puts a lot of simple furniture
into the realm of possibility.
Typing this entry in Notepad++ hasn't been too bad,
all things considered. I'm going to try to upload it using
FileZilla and then we'll see how it looks. It's weird, but
not being able to format my entries the way I'd like to is a
huge disincentive for me to even type them in, and then I get
all bummed out that I'm leaving my phlog by the wayside. Maybe
if this goes smooth, I'll get back to making frequent entries
again. Probably not, looking at my history, but maybe!
