A bit of blarg about nothing....

I've slowly been switching from Wimpdoze to Linux (specifically, Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron). The longer I use it, the more I realize I did *exactly* the right thing. This began slightly before I finally put feet to the realization (which I'd known for years, but was scared to leave my comfort zone) that I am a member of the working poor and applied to a near by university to finish (after a 21 year hiatus) my bachelor's degree. I'm returning to get a degree in Computer Engineering. I intend to use this route to get a *real* job.

Meanwhile, I've ended up with a 17" widescreen monitor and a recycled OEM GeForce2 vid card. I can actually see without bars and clouds and dark spots rendering most of the display only semiusable!!

Well, enough bubbling over, for now. I guess nice things can, too, happen to ugly people :D

Y'all have fun
