Good weekend for the most part. Did the shopping with Bean. Made Pot roast. Played much go fish.

On the geeky side I was able to get qemu up and running and now have a virtual windows box that I can use to do taxes. Doing some tasks on a virtual box is somewhat amusing. I had originally given the windows box only 5 gig of space. I should have known better than that. It was relatively easy to give it more space. Using dd i was able to grow the image to 11 gig. Although a minor typo with dd made it 1.3 terabytes. For those interested Windows seems to have an issue with a disk that size. once that was corrected I had to use gparted to grow the partition. That just seemed weird booting a partition manager to change a disk that is actually just a file.

I also installed OPML editor and FlickrFan so I can have nifty pics fro m the AP on my desktop

I think qemu will be fun to try out some other distributions and such. Or to build some special purpose images for different apps. Perhaps I can use it to play with my old BeOS 5 stuff.
