Busy, busy, busy…. holy moly get me some vacation days !!!! I remember why I dislike moving, it’s now been three weeks and still boxes are all around. Some new furniture is here some is coming. Just finished staining/water proofing the deck and can now look to expanding the fence. A daily trip to Lowes seems to be the norm, picking up items you can never seem to remember to get… all at once.
Work is flat out crazy and no end in sight. You can’t complain about being busy but if you can’t work the backlog piling more on makes it that much more difficult. That goodness for hockey, a welcome release from all that’s going on. The new place is great, the boys are getting use to “nature”, peace, quite, it’s all good.
So far the latest version of Ubuntu is great and I’ve resurected the old IBM I200 (laptop) to load Fedora. When I can find some time I’ll finish the Plone setup and migrate the site from work. You never know when you need a backup !!!!
Is is Friday yet…. I need a three day weekend.
A new version of Ubuntu was out on June 1st, Dapper Drake. Eager to load and check out the new bells and whisles I downloaded he iso, burned it to a CD and loaded last night. I had a little trouble getting the install to complete but that was due to X hanging. A quick check of help on the CD, prior to install, pointed me to pass vga=771 as an intall option. After that it was smooth sailing. It’s hasn’t been 24 hours yet but so far so good. I don’t have everything loaded and still have Breezy on my 60GB drive just in case.
So far only two issues and I seem to remember them from loading Breezy, no WEP on my on board wireless NIC and only a default contact list in Evolution. I can deal with those as they are not critical and I know the Evolution contacts are there as I copied the entire folder over before running. More than likely it’s the same problem I noted in a previous post just have to apply it. If all goes well the plan would be after getting everything up on the alternate drive take the 60GB and load XP then Dapper and dual boot. I have yet to do one of those as I’ve not really come across a need for it but now might be as good a time as any. Certainly would benefit my preperation for the LCP1 exam.
Friday I left for Huntsville, AL for the Benton Wilcoxon Ice Complex and a hockey tournament. This was the second year I’ve gone with some guys from one of the leagues I’ve played in here in Nashville. Four games between Friday evening and Sunday morning, haning out at the hotel and havin a few beers with the guys. This year the competition was not so good but then again we did play in the novice group, more like where I was a few years ago. But none the less it was a load of fun and with a league game on Sunday evening that put me at five games in 48 hours. Thank goodness the wife doesn’t mind.
