Woke up early today. Logged into SL. Checked out the news.
New violence in Bangladesh. Vice President of the US advocating torture in interrogation. Forest fire in California kills 4 firefighters. A bus crash in Nepal kills 42.

Right. Business as usual.

And I sometimes think I should read the news more regularly.

Meanwhile, on the home front, I am tempted to switch to Linux permanently already. Just have to make sure all my storage is accessible in Linux and that I can share them in the home network with the other windows stations.

I also tried to order a new ebook reader from ebookwise.com, but the checkout form kept refusing my street address of all things.

All this is boring and unoriginal. I need to find some good stuff to talk about.

Jonnie out for now!

Hey I hurt.. I'm still alive

Today I don't have to work, and I got a good night's sleep.
Been toying with Linux. Installed Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft). It works almost perfectly, the only minor problem I've been having is the fact the jack-sensing feature of my audio chipset is not handled by the linux audio, so I can't use the front panel jacks to plug my headphone and had to reach back and unplug my spkeaers to plug in my headphones.
Like I said, minor.
I can play videos (I installed VLC, which is an awesome application). I can play music. I installed the SecondLife client and am current logged in, with all features working right.
In other words I am wasting the day. Ahhh, *sigh* That feels so good to do nothing constructive and just toy around.
