i think there’s something wrong with my server, it seems awfully slow.
i haven’t been posting much, mostly because i feel like there hasn’t been much to write about. or maybe it’s because i’ve been really busy lately. i’m not sure…but let me see if i can do a quick recap of things.
my new year’s was fun, though my back was hurting a little so i had to cut it a little short. but still, was able to go out clubbing to ring in the new year.
aside from that, getting back into the swing of things at work is a little hard. i don’t know what it is, but i just can’t seem to get used to the schedule that i used to keep. so it’s really hard waking up that early in the morning and i’m not sure what my options really are besides getting into work later and having to leave a little later. oh well.
i’ve been playing around with the idea of switching blog software again. i’m sort of looking into other alternatives again, but we’ll see.
oh, oh, oh! i just found out about [url=http://www.knoppix.org/]knoppix[/url], the live linux distribution that fits on a CD. this may be my favorite linux distribution now for my laptop.
not much else going on, really….except TV!
man…too much tv…too little time.
i’m using a dell inspiron 8600. as i’m using knoppix more and more, i’m still impressed with it, but i have to still figure out a few things. the built-in wireless nic doesn’t appear to work out of the box, but the driver support for the centrino wireless nics are generally not good in linux, anyway.
but X windows boots up just fine and my casual poking around has yielded pretty good results. unfortunately, mozilla is bundled with the distribution instead of firefox, but it’s close enough. browsing the net with the built-in wired nic works fine.
What laptop are you running? Do you find that it works properly with knoppix? If so, I’m impressed. I heard about knoppix maybe a year ago, but have yet to try it. Cheers, -T
