Long day, it seems...

alexpgpI finally pushed my way through to installing my old hard drives on Natalie's old school machine (128MB RAM, 550 MHz Pentium III), and even took care of an issue having to do with master and slave drives (how did my setup ever used to work on my old machine?), but in the end, the machine seems to take a pick-and-choose approach to booting, reading disks, and associated operations. I once got as far as having the unit read my old Windows 2000 install CD, whereupon the inertia petered out. If I am to recover whatever is on the drives, it'll have to be with a new motherboard of some kind.
Progress on the large translation was disrupted by a series of small, quick-turnaround jobs, which is no big deal, but still a disruption. Everything remains on track, however.
I also picked up a sim on Monday that goes for nearly 12 hours and starts at oh-dark-thirty. The same philosophy that says freelancers get the assignments nobody else wants says that, nevertheless, freelancers get assignments, which is always a plus. If NASA insisted on running the space program as a 9-to-5 proposition, I'd probably have to go look for a job.
Galina continues to chase paper, and I'm going to have to join in, probably devoting some time this weekend. Most of that effort will be devoted to making sure that what's been done so far is more or less okay. Then I'll have to do the same drill as I did a couple of weeks ago in reviewing travel expenses and online transactions.
I worked out for the second day in a row, briefly, and feel pretty good.
Cheers...
