altivoOr so it seems, for a day or two. The new duck house and yard are almost ready: fox and raccoon proof we hope. New wood needs paint and they're done. Outdoor area is completely enclosed, sides, top, bottom-- with welded wire mesh.
And I planted flower seeds. Late in the season, but they were sent by a good friend and we will see if they grow.
Archived the entire SAS C directory tree from the old Amiga and transferred it via ftp, but too late tonight to unpack it and see if I got everything. Probably not. I imagine there are changes in the startup-script and possibly a library or two that need to be copied over as well. The original installation logs were still intact and came with it, so I should be able to figure it out.
I need to get HiSoft Pascal as well. ARexx was incorporated into AmigaOS as of 3.0, so I shouldn't need to transfer that. There are other things, of course, that might be nice to retrieve. I had a lot of MIDI and music software, but I'm not sure how useful it is on UAE instead of a real Amiga. Probably no need for the word processor (ProWrite) and I'm pretty sure I already had all the actual documents converted but I'll double check that. Project for later. The Amiga boots up readily for now, but the bridge board needs two or three tries before it "catches" the shared library and memory that is essential to making the ethernet functional.
Google is clearly making a fool of itself again with GooglePlus. They just don't get social networking even now. Mad purges of users, inconsistent treatment of complaints and interpretation of policy or terms of service will not win them support or users. They're making even the vagaries of Facebook look good by comparison.

• Cannot impersonate anyone or anything (for example, profiles created to represent celebrities, pets, ideas, or inanimate objects)
That should clean house.
