A Switch

Posted on May 13, 2011

A few weeks ago, or perhaps months, I saw that there was the release of Gnome 3.0. I had also seen that Ubuntu had released 11.04 Beta. Feeling like I needed to get my fix, I went ahead and wiped my old 10.10 partition and did a fresh install of the Beta.

Blogging Again!

Posted on April 27, 2011

I never thought the day would come. I have thrown the old Linode account up and began hosting my blog. This time, with WordPress instead of my own hand written code. I lost a ton of old code from back during my prime in Linux. That also included the old posts. The only ones that I might be able to save may come from advogato.

From 2007 and into 2008

Posted on January 3, 2008

2007 will always remain the year that presented new ways of thinking and challenges. If there was ever a year that was consistent in change, this would be it for me. The year started out with my parents moving to York, PA. I remained in Columbus for three months. In late March, I ended a 5 year career with UPS and packed up everything I could fit in my car and traveled to New York City to live with my sister. That proved to be a rough yet fun 5 months. In September, I once again packed everything in the car and returned to Columbus. The 8 months prior to this helped me find out who I was and what I wanted to do. My intention by returning to Ohio was to finish school. This is my only objective now. I began the process of returning to Ohio State and began exploring my career field more deeply. As the year came to a close, I changed into a more responsible and humble person. I now have motivating goals and dreams. I know have the courage to finish what I started. I met loads of new friends, experienced things I could never experience living in one city, and learned valuable lessons that will remain with me for ever. As I move into  2008, I know my goals and know what needs to be done to meet these goals. 2008 will now be the year of rebuilding and hard work. Come 2009, I will be almost half way to my goals.

Christmas and Weddings

Posted on December 19, 2007

December is proving to be a month full of activities. I don’t mind this, but I do miss how slow it seemed that Christmas came. As a child, it always took too long. As an adult, it comes and goes quicker then a passing car.

This past weekend, my good friend and past rommate, Karl, got married. I had the honor of being his best man. This entailed not only a speech, but ensuring that everything is taken care of while they enjoy a nice week in Jamacia.

I can not wait to see my family in a few days. I am planning a trip to Pittsburgh for Christmas. It will be short since I have work to do back here, but it will be worth every sparing minute.

I inherited a laptop this week. It sports a pentium 4 3.0Ghz processor and ATI graphics. The WXGA screen is nice and is just as good as my monitors on the desktop machine. Ubuntu installs smoothly and detects the ATI card just fine. The only thing that needed down was to install the bcm43xx firmware. That too 2 seconds once plugged into the internet. So far I am happy.
