alexpgpIt may be Columbus Day back in The World, but you'd never know it from the traffic through my router. I only wish the deadlines were a little further out.
Drew called earlier, to tell me that the seasonal produce stand at the other end of town was roasting chiles (I had asked him to be on the lookout, as I had begun to develop the feeling that I had missed "the season"). So, I took a short break and went to pick up a half a bushel of hot green goodness. I'm letting the peppers "sweat" a bit before peeling them later this afternoon, and I hope to can most of them tonight.
I have no idea why, but I've resurrected my creakingly ancient IBM ThinkPad, loading MS-DOS 5.0 on it, just - I suppose - to see what might happen. The first thing I notice is that the screen used for the DOS display is noticeably smaller than available screen real estate.
Maybe I have a game somewhere that will run under DOS 5.0? Gato?
Cheers...
