Website
-------
I'm definitely going to redo the website, using Drupal.  It's so much nicer and easier to manage than Tiki-Wiki, that I've redone 4 other websites that I host using Drupal.

So if anybody has suggestions for changes and improvements, now's the time to chime in.  Btw, does YAAARC have a color scheme?

Roomba
------
I have a Roomba, that I got from an ex-girlfriend.  It doesn't work, so we could try to fix it at the next meeting.  If not, it's available for dissection.

WRT54G
------
That's the Linux hackable Linksys WRT54G Broadband Router with WiFi.  I've got a damaged unit (zapped in a storm) that still works, mostly.  The WAN port and WiFi still work, but the LAN ports don't.  This is the thing Paul's been hacking.

Stuff
-----
I have a new Hitachi Deskstar 160Gb PATA IDE disk that I am not using, since anything new I do is all SATA.  I'll let it go for $60.  I should note that some systems may have trouble recognizing more than 128Gb of this type of disk.  Any takers?

I also have a 4 9Gb SCSI (68 pin) disks with cable and PCI controller.  Ideal for a Linux RAID 5 system of about 24Gb (3 live + 1 hot spare).  Now I just do RAID 1 on a pair of big SATA disks.  Yours for the asking.
