And my personal laptop~

A whileago

So did you hear? Ubuntu 10.04 came out today! When I rebuilt my computer after the massive hardware failure someone who hates me convienced me to get a ATI video card. I'm a *nix user and ATI and *nix don't have a good history; a lot of things don't work or if they do their problematic. So this time around I will be going nVidia and forthe ps I'll finally be making the switch to 64bit ad well! 64bit with 8 gigs of ram~ that aught to be nice.....Not that there was a hardware failure or anything, I'm just tired of the creeping problems I get with this card.

For some reason or another, awhile ago, I had told myself I'd be seeing a lot less of the online world; then I met someone who anchored me to it again. Donno why originally but now most everyone I know I preocupied with school, work, or whatever it is they so with their time so now I get a lot less 'face' time with these people. The new person has started school and others other things so I figure I'd go back to where I was before a sorta move away from being online all the time. I donno not much reason in being online all the time if there is no one to talk to right? Anyway it's late for me, I'mma hit the sack.

8.10 -> 9.04

I've got all of my machines going on 9.04; work, personal laptop, and desktop. There were a few problems with the desktop but those were dealt with, over the course of several days....I had to go back to 8.10, download the alternate installer and upgrade that way. The graphical installer is very nice.

Still have the same old desktop:


Aside from the boot-speed thing I've noticed that moving panels around is a lot more clicking than it used to be. However that notification thing is nifty.

I wish 10.10 would have been a LTS release but it isn't...10.04 will be so I think I will get 10.04 and stick with that for a few releases....

Recently I've been trying to get my カタカナ to the same level as my ひらがな but it is sooooo boring.... orz....

Hora!

Lava makes a great disinfectant. However one of the best things about lava is that it is 100% all natural so it is totally safe for the environment. I picked up a book for blender and on the “Who should read this” section there was a bit that came out as 'People that know whats up.' After spending about an hour trying to figure out the first 3 pages of the first project I realized that I am not one of those people. I did however finish the segment and then went to go find a bit on on fluid simulation. My lava ball didn't come out at all like the one in the book. I need to redo it a few times.





Today I also found two IRC channels that I'mma try and frequent; one on general programming ##programming and the blender IRC channel #blender. Both are on irc.freenode.net.

Tomorrow I'm going to make a bridge and try to do a bit more on the ASP.NET bit. Spent the day wrestling with the idea of “NameSpaces” Still donno if I know what those really are. There aren't any definitions for retards out there. Everything gets really confusing really fast. I donno why this is so hard.

What is your ring tone? When I get a text message or email my phone shouts “HORA!” which is something like “HEY!”, “Look at me!”, “Now look'a here”. I got it by taking apart a flash soundboard I found for Misao Kusakabe from Lucky star.

When it rings it plays a midi version of the pururin theme song from Welcome to the N.H.K. But it is really soft because I don't know how to up the pitch....Meh....

I'm a *nix user, my current choice is Ubuntu I update a week after a major version release I dual boot windows to help with my cocai....Final Fantasy Eleven addiction. Having said that this makes me sorta sad: http://linuxlock.blogspot.com/2008/12/linux-stop-holding-our-kids-back.html . I wander what OS the kid was demonstrating.
