OMG! Ubuntu!

N.G. Woosh — Tue, 04 May 2010 02:21:49 +0000

I just wanted to drop a note to say, my favorite Ubuntu focused blog
in my RSS Reader is OMG!
Ubuntu!: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/

I’ve been reading the blog for a while, and I’m sure they my little
post won’t really matter much, but it’s a great blog. If you’re
interested in or using Ubuntu, you should be reading this blog.

Free Comic Book Day Update

Dear Google Maps, thank you for sending me in the opposite direction
of the comic book store I wanted to go to. > SELECT finger FROM hand
WHERE id=3

We took my brother in law along (Lynn’s brother) and due to the
misdirection, went out to the mall first and had a blast, then went
back and found the comic book store we intended to visit. We all
scored some great comics. For our first comic book day, I’d say it was
a success. We’ll be going back in there when it isn’t as busy and
crowded to check out some of their other (not so free) selections
later on.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx FTW

I upgraded my laptop to Ubuntu 10.04 last night. I partitioned for
separate / and /home directories in the last Ubuntu update, so I was
ready this time. I just wiped the / and installed the new version.
BAM! I’ve been bringing things back up to my normal standards with the
applications and customization I like since then, but I’m thrilled.
I’ve even gone in and updated my flash drive for the new version. I do
have to say I’m very satisfied with it overall.

I’m forcing myself to use the terminal more, and I’m forcing myself to
learn more and more about it as well as SSH, Linux, servers, and
anything else I can cram into my skull. I need to know, not just for
work, but for personal goals. I never want to stop learning.

Brain: FEEEEEEED MEEEEEEEE

Drive to write

Maybe I just don’t have the drive to write about things lately.
