For the Past 2 weeks or so, I’ve been tending to my personal pursuits. Playing Mass Effect, fiddling with a new router, reseting of my Mythtv setup, and general goofing off. Now, the living room is quieter, because I removed 2 loud computers. This was short lived. I took the remaining fast one, stuck it into the quieter case, and now, it..still quite quiet.
I now have a dedicated workstation for my work stuff. While its an old system(an AMD 3500, with 1 gig of ram), its quite stable and I would hate to put it out of commission early. So, it will continue to plug away, without being terribly slow.
On the business side of things, I’ve been having trouble focusing using my time wisely, I guess due to a lack of interest or spending time playing mass effect. I have also trouble working on anything while booted into Windows XP. So, hopefully, my dedicate system will help since, its just a button press away.
Currently, the workstation is running Ubuntu. My experiment with gOS is over, due to the fact it would never install. When they update gOS to Ubuntu 8.04(its currently based upon 7.10 or something) I might install and try it then.
So, I should hopefully have something more interesting to report in the near future.
