Worked on judoplaces.com. Check links. Some additions. Mostly deletions. Added link to Facebook & Twitter if exists. Added Address2 to remove extra info on address1 so maps would work correctly. Added many new logos.

VM/370 emulation
Ran VM/370 in a IBM S/370, ESA/390, and z/390 hardware emulator on Linux.
Windows 2000 in a VM
Ran Windows 2000 in a VM. Have had problems for a while with shared folders, appears hung or very slow. Found a workaround on the Internet that appears to work [no hanging] for me….Map Network Drive. From “Windows Explorer” select Tools/Map Network Drive to associate Shared folder with a drive letter. You then can access …
RSTS/E
Ran the RSTS/E OS in a PDP emulator in a Windows 2000 shell running in a Linux VM. This was the first OS I worked with professionally.
LinuxMint 14.1 Cinnamon
Replaced Kubuntu with LinuxMint 14.1 Cinnamon 64bit (see Mar. 4th). Because of Kubuntu’s update procedure which frequently seemed to hang around 57% (If I remember).

Things fixed over my LinuxMint 13 Cinnamon 32 bit…1) Software Manager progress meter no longer appears to hang. 2) Can now restart from logout screen 3) Of course it …
Steam
Bought a native Linux game [The Book of Unwritten Tales $4.99 @ 75% off] from Steam. This is big news. For years one of Linux’s weaknesses has been the lack of quality games. It’s one of the two reasons I still keep MS-Windows around…the other being MS-Access. Anyway Steam just released a Linux client which …
LAMP stack
Want to install LAMP stack. Had problems previously installing each piece. So I installed my current distro in a VM…then cloned it (incase I needed to get back to beginning quickly). Install LAMP piece by piece, but had problems with phpMyAdmin. So restored clone. and reinstalled using XAMPP, much easier but still a problem with …
Memory
Ordered/installed 1 GB of memory on sisters PC. Replace motherboard battery which was causing BIOS to lose settings and time. Much faster/better.
