The Backroad To Civilization

March 15th, 2014:

	Much to my chagrin, I've been ignoring the "phlog" portion of my 
gophersite in favour of the 'diaries.  I really ought to pay more 
attention to this section...

That should be easy, as I've killed off several of my blogs and other 
websites in the past few months, owing to lack of interest.  Fatherhood 
takes up a lot of my time, and free time is at a premium.  We're also 
packing up everything and putting it into storage, as we fix up the house 
in order to sell it.

	This of course leaves me with absolutely NO time to work on my 
various computer projects, which is alright as it forces me to look at the 
viability of each project.  Some things I was doing out of sheer 
stubbornness (such as using a Mac LC475 as my main internet machine), 
other things I was doing to wring every ounce of performance out of a 
favourite machine (my Sun Ultra 5 workstation), and others I was using to 
learn about networking older machines using older protocols (my 
Tadpole/RDI Voyager-II uucp/ftp/gopher server).

	I'm going to be going through my equipment this month, to figure 
out what I'm keeping, and what I'm selling or throwing away.  Too much 
stuff, and I don't want to have to move it all.  If I *do* end up selling 
anything, I'll post something in the appropriate newsgroup, here, or on 
eBay.
