[conspire] CABAL this weekend? - I presume yes, this Saturday

[Rick Moen]

Quoting Michael Paoli (Michael.Paoli at cal.berkeley.edu):

> I would presume yes, this (2nd) Saturday, 4pm-24:00 PDT

Yeppers, and also, I just restarted the httpd.

Today, I bought some nice Portuguese-style sausage to put on top of one
of my home-made pizzas, along with other delightful things.  (The
Serrano pepper plant that has now survived _three_ California winters
inside impromptu cold frames is still happily producing fruit.  In
February.  So, expect some of that on part of the pizza. 

Salami slices, pesto sauce, chopped yellow onion, fresh garlic, fresh
oregano, black olives, and we'll see what else.

There is high likelihood of fresh garlic bread made using fresh-baked
sourdough French bread, and maybe apple pie.

Heh.  We're hospitable, so all we really do is, around 1AM, start
serving up the really strong coffee and glancing meaningfully towards
the front door.


I found, kicking around a box of stuff, an external USB-connected hard
drive I bought in 2013 for Deirdre.  It's 750 GB, which I continue to
think of as a big freakin' among of storage -- and I've returned it ot
service as, of all things, a FAT32 volume (available space 698GB).  
  
Even though FAT is faintly absurd in 2019, it has the advantage of
matchless cross-OS compatibility.  So, I'm using it for copies of 
current Linux distros.  See anything you like?  You are welcome 
to copy these, or write them to flash drives you bring, etc.

I'm also open to 'Hey, it'd be nice if you had a current release of
$FOO' requests.  Sooner is more welcome than later.


Oh, something I'd forgotten, and got reminded of while downloading:
FAT32 cannot house any individual file larger than 4,294,967,295 bytes.
So, many (most) DVD images, not to mention Blu-Ray ones, cannot exist on
said FAT volume unless first split into smaller pieces.
