A Project Blog
I’ve recently been able to retire three general computers (my netbook, HTPC, and work desktop). I’m now down to 4 general use computers, here they are, in order of usage:
On the weekend, the order changes to:
Screens I look at on a normal weekday:
Dear Intel,
Thank you for including Windows AHCI drivers on floppy disks with your new DQ35JO motherboard. However, putting a floppy disk drive controller on the motherboard would be useful too.
Thanks,
Nick
Here’s my history of processors I’ve owned in my primary computer. This does not count second, third, or fourth computers, laptops, servers, media, or Seti/Distributed machines. Only computers which were used as my primary machine count.
I have to be at work in less than 6 hours, tomorrow will be a long day.
I just discovered Ubuntu Dapper has CD printing support built-in for my printers! This makes me happy, as I’m no longer stuck with the amazingly crappy CD printing software which came with my printers (WTF is there no UNDO option), and I can use some great apps like Inkscape and GIMP. This also means my small business will be running on 100% open source software. My Mac Mini will probably move to the living room, and be one sweet Video/Audio/Picture machine.
Bought clothes today. Lots of shirts. I should be good for a while.
The source code to XGL is out, and people in the Gentoo forums are already compiling it. This may push me back to Gentoo on the desktop, or at least get me to dual boot again. The RR4 Gentoo installer could lead to a system that can do this somewhat quickly.
I’ll be crossing my fingers for an XGL LiveCD in the meantime.
The LiveCD List made the front page of Digg again today. Someone made a comment that I may be the most duped Digg, which is pretty cool. Maybe I can get up again for that :)
