Stupid WindowBlinds!

2006-07-16T20:31:00.000-05:00

Oh man. I am tired. And I bet that you are wondering why I am tired. You're not? Oh, well I guess that I won't tell you than. No big deal. I'll live, you'll live, and assorted kegs of alcohol will live. It's a Win/Win/Get Wasted situation.
OK...what am I rambling on about today? Well, to start off, I hate WindowBlinds. It makes your system crawl on it's knees (a slight exageration) and it almost screwed up my PC, even though it was probably my fault. I still blame WindowBlinds. I was trying to install a theme, and then my whole desktop went black. I could see my icons, and the little Windows logo where the start button would be. I was contemplating , logging out, making a new account, and transferring all of my files, but I figured that I should take a stab in the dark. Literally. So I right-clicked on my desktop and low-and-behold, the Right-Click menu was black. Lucky me. So I guessed where the "Properties" button would be, and I got it right. Then I guessed where the "Appearance" button would be in the window. I got it right! Finally, I guessed where you would select your theme, and I got it right. I really did get lucky. Or, maybe it's a sign that I use the computer too much. Nah.

I still haven't run that Ubuntu Live CD. But I have a good excuse! When I try to boot from CD on my working computer (the one that I am on), it stutters, and then just boots up Windows. Unforttunately, I am too lazy to look into this problem. It doesn't matter down here anyway, because it's the upstairs piece of crap that I need to install it on. Oh well.

That about sums up this edition of [insert title here]. Catch you later.

Sorry, I had to get that one out.

Ubuntu Wannabe

2006-07-14T18:39:00.000-05:00

I am hoping to bring the Ubuntu distribution to me. After starting up my PC day after day, and day after day cursing Microsoft, I have decided that enough is enough. But, I'm not that brave. So I have decided to go ahead and install Ubuntu Linux on my old Pentium 3. When I say old, I mean old. It's processor clocks in at a breath-taking 700mhz! [take breath here]
Are you OK now? Good. And that is one of the main reasons that I have decided to take the leap to Ubuntu on that PC. I never use it because of it's disease ridden life. It is missing critical system files, and have around 26kb of storage space left. The C: drive is loaded with spyware, and the D: drive crashed. It takes 15 minutes to get onto my broadband internet, and google takes 6 minutes to load. Shutdown time is an astonishing 45 minutes. You know that you would wipe Windows and install Ubuntu as well.

Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, I cannot say that I have installed Ubuntu. I can't even say that I have tried out "The Beast". On the said pile-of-crap, booting from a CD is not available, so I can't test out the Live CD up there. And on the PC I am on now, my nice one, I don't feel like shutting down to test this sucka out. You can bet your intergrated graphics card that when I do get off my...lower portion, and install Ubuntu, I will most definitely write up a summary of my experiences. But for now, I have to go procrastinate!

DS Lite Owns My Life

2006-07-13T22:23:00.000-05:00

As sad as it may be, the DS Lite is in complete control of my life. Would you like to know what makes this whole ordeal even worse? The fact that I don't own one. Yes, that is correct, I do not own a Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Gaming and Entertainment Device, yet I am at it's mercy. I crave for the said masterpiece.
Within a month, the date of my birth shall arise, and with it, may there be-ith a NDS. With Animal Crossing, of course. How I long to frolic with the animals, and perform un-natural things with them. No, not that! I was talking about giving them clothing, and chopping down their trees, you pervert!
Ah, well, I am doing my best to make my DS Lite fantasy a reality. For example, I made a background to voice my needs, so to speak. You can view my contraption HERE. And if that doesn't get the oh-so discreet message across, than hopefully the fact that I have strategically placed small, cut-out DS Lites around my humble abode.
Well, I expect that you shall all know if I get one or not, because if so, I will most-likely make a sole post containing characters not normally found in normal American dialect, such as
"Ã‰", "ÃÂ", or "Ãœ". And keep this in mind. If I do not somehow acquire the said joyous savior, than Sea Lions will die...

OK, maybe not, but it sure did sound good!
