More of the same as yesterday and the day before. Performed some migration steps for Patrick. Previously he was using Microsoft Briefcase to synchronize data on his laptop with another computer in our house. Now, he's using a custom XXCOPY script that I put together that backs up data one way to the new iMac. Signed up with Netflix today. Watched some instant video through Netflix: Watched Ghost Train from Amazing Stories Season 1 and Sundance shorts from 2007. Der Ostwind and One Rat Short were particularly good. Chatted with Tina on the phone briefly and with Emery online briefly. Placed an order for some cables and computer parts I need. Further refined the plan to rearrange computing equipment. We decided we can instead move the old Dell monitor and DVD player into the bedroom so that we can watch movies in bed. I can run the Mac Mini with remote desktop from the iMac. This means I might be able to do away with the KVM I have, but it might be nice to keep around just in case. I still won't have all the cables I need for reorganizing everything, but tomorrow some of the rearranging will take place.
