Packing it all into summer…
June 27th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized
So, yeah, sorry I didn’t blog about how awesome last weekend was, but honestly, I’ve been tired and busy as all hell. Summer is my favorite time of year, without question, but it seriously needs about 12 more hours in the days.
Last weekend was everything that I thought it was going to be. I ended up making Kabobs on the grill on Friday Night, then heading to the ‘Karaoke under the tent’ in North Branch, where I sang karaoke while operating in a blackout. Saturday brought us to Wild Mountain for the water slides and stuff, where I made a day of pointing out the staff that I worked there before they were even born. Saturday night, of course, was the street dance in NB, where I got to talk to dozens of people from high school, and reminisce about what a temperamental problem child I used to be. Ahh…. Good times….
Sunday was a Saints Game day, and I managed to snap a few photos of the Sasquatch that was there (not really sure why), and then we went home and drank some wine. Whew! Needless to say, it took me a couple days of early bedtimes to shake all that off…
On top of all that, I’ve been installing and tweaking Ubuntu 8.04 and Opera 9.5 on both my roommates computer and my own, and struggling to get audio and video to work correctly on 2 completely different computers. I must say, however, that if you’ve got a junk computer lying around, and you want to make it useful, I’ve become quite the Ubuntu Linux guru lately, and I can probably re-purpose it for you (not for free). I’m becoming more and more enthralled with Ubuntu, and how well it works as an operating system. I still don’t think it’s for novices to set up, but once up and running, it’s a pretty fool-proof way to set up a little internet/email/word-processing machine.
So, that brings me to this coming week. I’ve got more computer work planned, a Saints game, a trip to the North Shore, golfing, drinking and Sharon is making her first paella. Details to come, and thanks for stopping by!
