Scritto is the Dell Inspiron 15 that inhabits Vicki’s SOHO office desk.  It is the latest addition to the Centrale LAN.

Scritto is the only docked laptop on Centrale, serving as an office workstation while easily available for mobile use in Vicki’s pottery studio and on her travels locally and internationally.  As the only Windows 7 64-bit system on Centrale, it is also the most powerful computer that we have at this time.

This is the kind of setup that Vicki had wanted for some time.  All that was added to accomplish that was the Dell Inspiron, the 24” monitor, the monitor stand, and the USB docking unit.  Everything else was scavenged from the retirement of Ceramica, the desktop predecessor of Scritto, or was already part of the office computer, telephony, and wired-LAN setup.

[update 2010-08-23T04:14Z I realized, when posting about additional web-development categories, that I can seed the unseeded subcategories simply by using the seeding post: this one.  This repost is strictly to accomplish that.]

As part of the nfoCentrale anchor-site stabilization, I am seeding all of the new categories I have established.  This will cause each category subfolder to be created and populated as part of the nfoCentrale Status blog structure on the hosted site.  I will then bring those folders under the construction-structure management of the nfoCentrale anchor site.

I have been quietly repaving the nfoCentrale anchor, as part of bringing a systematic sites cleanup and repaving under a single coordination point.

I will also be experimenting with alterations of Movable Type templates here and on Spanner Wingnut in preparation and confirmation of the stages to be undertaken in the systematic re-animation of my now-dormant blogs.

Although this seems to be a diversion from the task of restoring blogs, and I have this pent-up urge to be posting anew on them, this repaving work is crucial for providing me a place where I capture my experience and arrive at a guide that I can follow systematically.  This is also a precaution against any future situation where I need to do more of this, whether because of upgrading to new releases of Movable Type, porting to a new hosted site, simply adding more blogs, or integrating with new, now-unanticipated content-management facilities.
