Rising up from the ashes

Well, I’ve secided its time to shift the tumble-weed away from this site and start blogging again. I’m so undermotivted to ever log on and write anything as I fail to see why you out there would be interested in my life (as exciting as it is).

I’ve also been very busy with bits and bobs in uni – Assignments and the odd drinking binge :)

I’ll try my best to post more often (I say that a lot) but I’ll just start posting any random random cr*p.

Recently I have installed Fedora Core 10 on my laptop – originally in KDE but now on Gnome and it dual boots with vista, The only thing I am annoyed about is that there isnt a Linux Driver for the DisplyaLink DL-160 Chip inside my docking station so my dual monitors dont work – but I was thinking of scrapping dual monitors anyway to save some desk space.

Elsewhere but sorta related I was thinking about rebuilding my laptop totally to use FC as its’ primary operating system (perhaps running VMWare with XP inside – for those moments when you need windows). My reasons for thinking this are that my course at uni is swaying toward linux and I feel i should “turn to the dark-side”. I’m personally starting to see how stable linux can be and how it can do almost everything windows can and sometimes a lot more.

As I only have the laptop here (at uni) another thought was that I get a netbook – something easy to carry from class to class which gives the oppurtunity to leave my laptop static on the desk, But I dont really know if I can justify it as at home I have more computers than sense.

In other news, I really want an IPhone and cant wait until my current contract ends (in October) to get one – I might have to call 3 and enquire about paying off my contract early – does that make me impatient?

    Baahh..

    Who the hell needs Linux anyhow. Be a real hacker and install an OS that wasn’t even designed for your hardware. I’m so in love with MacOS now that I don’t think I’ll ever revert back.

    Re: using Vmware to run windows programs, that’s a bit unneccesary. Try having a quick google around for Wine as I’ve seen sites with guides to running almost anything win32 under a linux kernel, even as far as GTA San Andreas, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, 3d Studio Max etc etc.

    Nice to see ya bloging again ;)
