Yeppers, and also, I just restarted the httpd.<br>
<br>
Today, I bought some nice Portuguese-style sausage to put on top of one<br>
of my home-made pizzas, along with other delightful things. (The<br>
Serrano pepper plant that has now survived _three_ California winters<br>
inside impromptu cold frames is still happily producing fruit. In<br>
February. So, expect some of that on part of the pizza. <br>
<br>
Salami slices, pesto sauce, chopped yellow onion, fresh garlic, fresh<br>
oregano, black olives, and we'll see what else.<br>
<br>
There is high likelihood of fresh garlic bread made using fresh-baked<br>
sourdough French bread, and maybe apple pie.<br>

<br>
Heh. We're hospitable, so all we really do is, around 1AM, start<br>
serving up the really strong coffee and glancing meaningfully towards<br>
the front door.<br>
<br>
<br>
I found, kicking around a box of stuff, an external USB-connected hard<br>
drive I bought in 2013 for Deirdre. It's 750 GB, which I continue to<br>
think of as a big freakin' among of storage -- and I've returned it ot<br>
service as, of all things, a FAT32 volume (available space 698GB). <br>
<br>
Even though FAT is faintly absurd in 2019, it has the advantage of<br>
matchless cross-OS compatibility. So, I'm using it for copies of <br>
current Linux distros. See anything you like? You are welcome <br>
to copy these, or write them to flash drives you bring, etc.<br>

I'm also open to 'Hey, it'd be nice if you had a current release of<br>
$FOO' requests. Sooner is more welcome than later.<br>
<br>
<br>
Oh, something I'd forgotten, and got reminded of while downloading:<br>
FAT32 cannot house any individual file larger than 4,294,967,295 bytes.<br>
So, many (most) DVD images, not to mention Blu-Ray ones, cannot exist on<br>
said FAT volume unless first split into smaller pieces.<br>
