What with my tax return being accepted by the various governments, and my refund imminent, I'm preparing for Project Magician, which is my personal name for my computer system overhaul.
First, I'm building myself a new desktop (it will have the hostname of Magician, hence the "Project" name), something I've never done. So I've been spending a bit of time these last weeks spec'ing a new system, working out the details, and everything.
Second, once that's set up, I'll be turning Fool, my current desktop, into a webserver. That'll keep me from having problems when I let the IP address of my music collection slip--it won't slow down my websurfing, as it did some weeks ago.
In the meantime, I'll also be getting a hand-me-down Powerbook from my father--a Titanium G4, one of those fantastic bricks of computing. I'll be reinstalling that OS with a copy of OS X I'll need to buy on eBay, and christening it High Priestess.
