I'm starting the week trying to get the BBS further along, as well as the nntp server and web page. Now that I have Solaris in a VM on Virtualbox, I am playing with it off and on like a cat toy as many would well expect.
I keep going mentally over the reasons that I'm even dicking around with unpopular technologies in the first place, and it always comes back to the excessive marketing and surveillance on the common web, and the way the whole thing has been taken so far away from where it all started.
There are decisions I have to make, and some of them are already decided. I considered anonymous ftp, but realized I want to keep those file bases within the BBS. The newsgroups will remain primarily NNTP and accessible via Usenet reader from outside the BBS as well as within.
In other news, it's 1AM and almost 90F outside. It was 108F earlier today.
The entire week has pretty much been around 108. It's ridiculous. I think that the last time I dealt with heat like this, I actually lived in a desert.
