19.01.2004 – Monday 19 January – Symlinks at last

5:34am

• After a hard night’s chatting, I finally went to bed.

1:10pm

• I woke up, and, of course, went online.

5:39pm

• Shan and Kylie came around, and proceeded to make Ella very angry by threatening her, via MSN, that they’d come around and borrow her satellite decoder and she’d not be able to talk to all her lovers – she’s such an angry girl. They also borrowed a few DVD’s.

7:34pm

• After an abortive attempt some time ago to figure out a way to mirror my content in two locations (on the same server), I again and successfully tried using symlinks. I can now serve my journal, for example, from nedmartin.org/journal and journal.the-i.org without affecting its existing structure – something I have wanted to do for some time.

9:27pm

• Mum and I began to watch “The Cat’s Meow”, but it was terrible so we stopped. Plus, it had awful audio and we could hardly hear it over the rain, so we watched “S.W.A.T.” instead, which was much better and we both enjoyed it – although it’s very predictable and typical and not that good.

4:21am

• I went to bed, late – yet again.
