[comphist] Unpacking magazines.

[Rob L. <ro...@la...>]

I have a BOATLOAD of computer history stuff.  Wow.  Just unpacked a lot of it 
onto bookshelves.

Did I ever mention that I've been scanning in old magazines?  
http://www.landley.net/history/mirror/scans I think...

I'm in the process of updating my old "build a system from source" bash script 
to be LFS 5.0 based (then busybox and uclibc), and I'm going to use that at 
the end of my new cable modem (half a megabye per second upload bandwidth, 
unlimited usage), and finally host my website somewhere it could survive 
being slashdotted (or farked) if I put up something interesting.  Then I can 
finally redo it to have interesting stuff on it. :)

Grad school continues apace.  Penguicon 1.0 went fine and 2.0 is on track.  
I'm starting a southern version (Linucon), and I hope to have some computer 
history displays there.  That's not til october 2004, though...

On the computer history front, I've been busy going through lots and lots and 
lots of old computer books and magazines.  On top of that, I'm back within 
range of the UT library, and as a graduate student I can check out books for 
four months at a time.  I am abusing this priviledge. :)
