Well im sitting around on call at home. Just putzing around on the internet while at home and enjoying the fun times that is had by having two dogs…..and a laptop that turns off when the power cord comes unplugged…so you can imagine how often my computer gets turned off at this time. Its not a power laptop, just a laptop to be used to get online and perform basic tasks…don’t even have full graphics card support in Linux…but im working on that…so the graphics are just basic and run slow, but that is ok. I have found that PUPPY Linux works great when you just need to run linux on a system and have it work. Puppy linux has detected all hardware that I have thrown at it, including my wireless card. Looking at some of the other features of puppy linux, they make it easy to make a customized version for use on usb or cd. How cool is that that they make it part of the system to remaster the distro?
I used to(and still do) love Ubuntu…but after my bad experience installing the newest version on the laptop…I was disappointed……but just as i got dissapointed with ubuntu…someone came along and made me believe in it again. What is this? Why it is the project called andlinux which is a project to run linux nativly inside of windows with little to no performance hit. I am running it on my personal computer and work computer, and so far, have experienced no problems with the software locking up on me. And since its based on the popular ubuntu distro, it is easy to update and maintain. Now to just get some linux exclusive items working…and that will show the usefulness of this program….he he he

And to my former CU coworkers…never complain about the pager….for on call duty I get three cell phones and a laptop—one cell for calls, one for email, and one for text messages…..what the heck?

Im currently sitting in the doctors chair getting shots every half hour. Im getting desensitized to those things that cause me to have allergy problems almost everyday starting with the first blade of grass that grows in the spring until the first frost of the year. It will be a welcome relief to finally get this done. Five hours in a comfy leather chair is so nice. Im using the EEEPC. A nice little pc with a tiny keyboard. If you know me,think of me trying to use something that small and have a good laugh. Well its time to get another shot. Me and my arms are gonna be sore by the end of the day.
