I took a little time off blogging because I just couldn't handle my sched. For several weeks, I would go to our little renovation project we had going over at the new house we were moving into. And then at the same time, I was working on getting promoted. Well, mission accomplished! It's been well over 2 weeks since I got promoted and almost 2 weeks since we moved in. All I need now is an internet connection at home. Sadly, none is available at this time. I gave up on SMART Wifi. It felt good to cancel the darned thing. I just got fed up. I'm waiting for the cable company to roll in those new lines into our subdivision. There are about 300 or so homes already built in our subdivision but barely 50 are occupied. Not everyone is as anxious to move in yet. So, we'll have to wait for cable and phone lines to come into our area. They're probably just waiting for enough customers to connect to justify the cost of rolling out lines. Well, from here on in I'll have to play the waiting game. Hmmm...reminds me. I need to buy a thumb drive for all those packages I need to download! I better bug the missus for a little spending money.

Busy...

Been working on...stuff. Well, stuff at work. I'm not allowed to say. Or at least my conscience tells me. Then there's stuff at home, mostly sleeping during the day to keep awake at night. I'm being the reclusive hermit again. Then, I had to reformat the PC, yet again. I'm still OC about some things. I'm trying to clean up my music collection so they display uniform info tags.

And I'm reading again! Something I haven't done in ages. All this internet stuff has distracted me from the beautiful experience that is reading books! Real books! On paper! Currently enjoying: Stainless Longganisa by Bob Ong

Somethin' fun, for a change...

Funny little show for G.W. bashers:

If he gets stuck, pull him into an open space. If you do it right, he'll free fall for a few minutes.

Spiffy Dapper

Well, I finally finished updating Dapper several days ago after my Smart Wifi connection stared working again (finally!). I download all the updates and then some. Ubuntu Guide was an immense help as usual. I can never go without it. I find this newer iteration better, since its updated more frequently now.

And if you'll indulge me, here's a look at my new desktop:



I used the Sphere Crystal theme with the Amaranth window border and Nuvola icons. I think those come with the gnome-themes-extras package. The wall paper is Minimalistic Black and White (Author: Knives) from PixelGirlPresents.Com. Sweet! I think I may have gone theme-crazy because I also ended up downloading 12 other GDM themes too. Heheee...

Dapper's Still Waiting...

It's been a week after I installed Dapper. I haven't had the chance to update the darned thing. And my Smart connection's been crappy this past month. No broadband for me. I already sold my dialup modem, so no go on that front either. Plus A few personal issues have doused my techno-lust. It's going to be ho-humm for this blog for a while...
