               I am typing this entry using Notepad++ on the Windows 10
          install of my modern PC. I downloaded one of my entries from 
		  a while ago that I made using Textra, so that I could use it
		  as a template, and attempt to keep the formatting close to
		  how it usually is on my entries. We will see how it goes,
		  I suppose.
		  
			   Presently I have several projects I'm bouncing back
		  and forth between. I'm still working on getting my Pi4 to
		  serve ISOs to my PS2 using SMB. It is not going well at
		  all. If anyone reading has any experience doing this, please
		  email if you can help me out. I've attempted to follow a few
		  different guides and have even tried preconfigured Pi images
		  but I am having no luck at all.
		  
		       I have been doing some messing around with my Commodore 
		  64 again, after I recently got a user port WiFi modem for it.
		  I have an alarm clock/radio/TV I am using for a monitor using 
		  the external antenna port and an RCA cable with a 3.5mm 
		  adapter on it, a Pi3 with a Pi-1541 FDD emulator installed for
		  my disk drive, and CGGMS for my terminal. I am not super
		  familiar with the C64 so progress is slow, but my goal is to
		  successfully make an entry here and to make a mastodon post
		  with it.
		  
		       Due to the drop in temperature, my garage projects are
		  on hold at the moment. If I can sort out a safe, affordable 
		  way to heat it up a little bit, all of the parts I need to
		  rebuild this 1980s Craftsman bench-top bandsaw I found at the
		  thrift store a few months back have finally been delivered,
		  and I can start on that. Having a bandsaw at my disposal will
		  really open up the kinds of woodworking projects I can
		  reasonably take on, as right now I don't even have a way to
		  properly rip a board. It won't be as big a gamechanger as a
		  table saw would be, but it puts a lot of simple furniture
		  into the realm of possibility.
		  
		       Typing this entry in Notepad++ hasn't been too bad,
		  all things considered. I'm going to try to upload it using
		  FileZilla and then we'll see how it looks. It's weird, but
		  not being able to format my entries the way I'd like to is a
		  huge disincentive for me to even type them in, and then I get
		  all bummed out that I'm leaving my phlog by the wayside. Maybe
		  if this goes smooth, I'll get back to making frequent entries
		  again. Probably not, looking at my history, but maybe!
