So as I realized I needed to do some laundry tonight, I said, “Dang, I need something to do to keep me awake until about ten o’clock.” What do I do? Bootleg work! Hacked and slashed and out comes the finished product. Then the fun begins: as noted before, my G4 iMac eats keyboards. So when I went to connect to upstairs on my mini to grab the files over the network … nothin’. The keychain had lost my password for the mini. :sigh: And what’s worse, the keyboard being out means there’s no way to load a CD-ROM, so I can’t just burn a CD-R [which I'd do anyway] and copy over.

So I head back upstairs, thinking that I’ll just connect down to the iMac from the mini. No go. Won’t connect. Then I grab my iBook. Connect to the iMac? Check. Connect to the mini? Check. Use network aliases to send folder from one to the other? Check. So, here are the lessons:

1. iBook FTW! It heard me talking about letting it go now that I’m rocking my iPhone, but this is one way it can say, “I’m not done yet!” [Plus, it was very handy last week while my mini was in the shop.]
2. I really need to see about getting that iMac into the shop to get it fixed. Sadly, I’m afraid that the answer on that one is “needs a new Logic Board”, and I’m worried that they don’t even make ‘em anymore.

Okay, off to bed with me.
