	A bit annoyed today - I actually ended up having to transfer 
yesterday's log to a floppy disk and upload it via scp from my Linux Mint 
machine. It turns out that the telnet client I use on my DOS machine, the 
one included with mTCP, is not fully telnet compliant, and doesn't support 
things like the datamark command, which normally would not be any kind of 
an issue but SDF uses it which means my X and Ymodem transfers are 
effectively limited in size to just over a kilobyte. I also still have not 
found a satisfactory DOS text editor, and to save myself the trouble of 
having to deal with either of those issues today's log is being typed up 
in PICO.

	I'm in-between "real" projects at the moment, so mostly I have 
been trying to find applications to make DOS fulfill tasks usually considered 
too modern for such a machine. Finding a quality text editor and SSH 
client were parts of this effort, although I have been more successful in 
things like playing mp3s and DVDs, as well as using the conventional 
internet in a rudimentary sort of way with Lynx. I suspect to make up much 
more ground on this front I'm probably going to have to roll up my sleeves 
and make something myself.

	Anyway, it was a work-day today, so not much else of note going 
on. Gonna wrap up this log a little early today and probably find a game 
or something to kill the rest of the evening.
