Got sick of unstable Ubuntu. They really need to create a testing repos, with the latest software, but none of the unstable beta stuff… a nice fine balance. So I am a ricer again. Should tire me over until Gnome 2.10 in out and Ubuntu Hoary is more stable. Don’t want to live in Warty, it’s out of date.
So, over the last 48 hours my desktop computer is being rebuilt.
No TAFE is making me get a bit bored, though I should find something interesting to do real soon. Like learning C++ and use of OGRE. And panicing about how to deal with next semester more effectively than last. I’m really disappointed in my time management during that time, and my dead laptop.
Sitting watching late night TV is depressing… all the phone, SMS and internet dating ads that come
on. Do they honestly think that everyone up late to watch Star Trek is all lonely? Oh wait…
Christmas was the normal. Overcrowded shops, and rushing around. I felt really tired by the end. Then to find how I will get to Sydney in the middle of Janurary to Koderfest.
Yay, the madness ensues.
I went and finally splurged on a nice kyboard and mouse, because my old keyboard was uncomfortable and wonky, and my mouse was dieing. A got a Logitech Cordless MX Duo, which is a rather nice piece of work. Finally, I have a nice flat keyboard to dvorakise, but it wasn’t quite that simple.
The f and j keys have keyholes that are at a 90° angle in relation to the rest of the key holes, where the keys sit in. So I currently have my j, f, u and h keys all sideways. They still fit, and I guess having h and u sideways kinda compensates for the lack of little lump at the bottom
of the key. But it’s a helluva lot better than the old one.
Using the mouse feels like I’m trying to fly a plane… very large and lots of buttons. I swear it has it’s own self destruct sequence… 
In response to i386’s bid for galactic conquest, it’s actually a planetary system. A galaxy is a collection of stars, not planets.:) So here is System Kruel
Finally, after a few months, I found three hours to write the website. I give you RateMyRackMountedServer.com.
