December 23rd, 2013: On the main page, I've added a link to my entry for 2014's Retrochallenge Winter Warmup. I've also decided to mirror all the Retrochallenge-related content on my blog, for those among us who prefer that sort of interface. On the Sun Ultra 5 scene, apart from filling the 711 Array with 72Mb UltraSCSI drives, nothing has happened since last year's update. I will however resume work in the new year - likely February, once the Retrochallenge is fait accompli. I have all the parts, material, and hand tools I need, it's just a matter of finding the time. Which is tough, being the married father of a six-month old baby... I've also earmarked the Ultra 5's 6-drive SCSI array for a different project, but more on that later. Lastly, I'd like to wish my fellow underground denizens a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope Santa brings you all something nice! (I'm hoping he brings me a unixpackages.com Premium subscription this year!) Also, I only JUST discovered the ^j (justify) command in pico, so I've gone through all my previous phlog entries and justified them!
