Hmm.. I haven’t written in over a week. Been pretty busy, thinks got hectic over on the DJ Forum, most of my online time was being spent running damage control along with a couple of other staff members. Some staff members stepped down, then we had a man forum that caused a big stir so we axed that. But some positive stuff happened too. We have a brand fully custom theme that’s all ours, from Kalina Web Designs, she does awesome work and has been great throughout the whole process even making changes even after the whole thing was done. We also got a great new logo done by one of our forum members, Request Line Productions. I think it looks awesome but you be the judge.
Other than that spring is almost here we had a few days in the high 60′s, yesterday it was even 70! Today is colder (in the 40s) and raining. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be better weather wise.
Tuesday I went to the doc for a boot change. The hole looks just like a surface wound now, the one doc things my boot can come off but I have to see the head guy there Monday for him to double check. I hope it comes off as this boot is mega annoying. I’ll have to wear support stockings into the forseeable future but at least they come off at night for showers and the like.
On my desktop, I’ve decided to just dual boot XP + Ubuntu. Vista has it’s place, but it’s obviously pretty bloated when compared to XP on the same machine. Another interesting thing is my sound card sounds 100% better under XP than VIsta on a computer designed for Vista. Kinda makes you wonder about all that DRM lockout crap. I still have Vista on the laptop as I cannot get XP on here, I gotta do some research but XP cannot see my HD, I must need drivers for it.. Should be interesting trying to slip stream them in. 
I went through a few cycles of installing the Hardy Betas and back to Gutsy. From the last install of Hardy it’s not ready for the prime time. I couldn’t even access other partitions on my drive, that’s pretty crappy. I think it had to do with the new security parameters they’re implementing and HAL. It’s a beta so I’m sure it’ll be fine by the time it’s released in couple of weeks. I may upgrade when RC 1 comes out tomorrow, I’m not sure though. I’ve run all the other releases from the alpha stages with out issues, this one has me a little shaky.
That being said, I’m running the betas (Ubuntu & Kubuntu) with the latest upgrades in virtual machines. They look nice but I don’t do much inside of the VM so I don’t know how it will work on full scale roll out.
Anyhow today is a family day for me. Last night went shopping for a big dinner, eggplant parmazean. Boy have prices went up $50 for a meal that used to cost about $20 to make. We’re heading for trouble economy wise, but what do I know… I gotta get to work on the gravy, catch yas later.
