Congratulations to Obama! Enough about that.
I have already slacked on my post for every other day. I apologize for that. Not like people actually read this. I need to write my own blog software or just install wordpress and be done with it. Anyways, I have updated my desktop at home to the latest Ubuntu 8.10. I had some issues with upgrading my UbuntuStudio, so I decided to scrap it and install a fresh copy of 8.10. Here’s what my desktop looks like now:
I’m going to keep tweaking and get all my software installed. I’ll keep you posted.
A lot of people are making this month the month to make a post per day on their blog. I don’t think I could provide such content at this time. Maybe I can try a post every other day in November, for us lazy people. :-)
UbuntuStudio 8.04 to 8.10 Upgrade
I updated my desktop machine at home to the latest 8.10 from Ubuntu. Everything looks like it has successfully upgraded properly minus the ATI x1950 Pro drivers. I don’t seem to be able to enable the restricted driver set. I’m going to be looking into this today and see if I can get the fancy compiz effects turned back on. Other than that, the updates to the UbuntuStudio theme is nice. I like the new minimize, maximize and close buttons. I’ll have to submit some screenshots later in an edit.
Election 2008
Vote your heart and your mind. Vote for life and the rights of those that can’t choose. Use the Internet to do some searching for truth. Home values started the beginning to the end in 1975. Regulation on building, zoning and “open area” laws have created the false economy that is home values by government control over supply and demand. 1993 began the sub-prime mortgage mess. Warnings were presented to congress in 1998 by the FTC. Stop listening to the talking heads and show your intelligence by making your own decision by looking at the facts. Stop the expansion of government.
I volunteered to have my domains moved to the new servers at Dreamhost. Hopefully things won’t break too much, but somehow I have a feeling they will. :-) Stay tuned, not sure when it will occur.
I haven’t had time to post anything blog related on this site for a while. Things have been a bit too crazy at work and haven’t had any personal time to waste sitting in front of my machine doing creative things. I plan on getting my act together and setting up a task list for my spare moments. I have several web applications drawn out and now I just need to start cracking on them. Bah! The gate lady says we’re boarding, so I have to make this short. Anyways, I’ll be upgrading this site to django 1.0 and try and deploy my apps on wstearns.com first. As soon as I decide which version control solution on these, I’ll post links to the repository.
Happy Independence Day 2008! Hopefully everyone will have a safe and happy July 4th. We’re spending the evening at home watching all the holiday shows. Probably go out in a couple minutes and set off a few of our own fireworks. Nothing huge, but the kids enjoy it.
Daphne’s no longer a pagan. :-)
I got a bit lazy and decided that it was too much of a pain in the rear to manage photos in two places, so I’ve archived my photologue installation and gone with a jQuery-lightbox implementation of my Google Picasa Web Albums.
Looks pretty cool!
