Let the buzz begin

Though 3la is as yet unfinished (suddenly there are a few things I want to add that before February I couldn't have done), I think this is a good week to release the original Jinglesthula on the internet. However, I need to hear from any of you who were involved in it as to whether that's okay with you.

I await comments. (*dons welding mask*).

SPAM! NARF!

Hello All,

I'm back again. Running down memory lane makes you crazy sometimes. I finally caved and starting using Facebook. I've been a very big MySpace fan up until I found that most of the people I really wish to connect with are on Facebook and not the other.
If you haven't found me or vice versa, lets get together, ya, ya, ya. Name that song........(too easy). Haha!
I have officially begun working from home now, so I find myself on msn alot more than normal. Feel free to add both my sn's to msn and chat with me sometime. cvg (_) ogden (_) jjohnson (at) live (dot) com ....or...... cuddletiger3 (at) hotmail (dot) com .
I look forward to hearing from you all.
May the randomness of the band hall flow through you and may Spam bless your cupboards...........and cholesterol levels!

Dvorak Likes Linux!!

I'm doing a bit of a victory dance right now because John Dvorak has declared Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex "a winner." He wrote an entire column in PC Magazine raving about how Ubuntu has seemingly overcome the awkwardness of using Linux.

I have, just this week, been using Ubuntu 8.10 on my nine-year-old desktop PC and I must say that I am impressed, too. For most things, it works at least as well as Windows XP and I don't have to worry about malware. The eye candy factor of the user interface is, in my humble opinion, much better than that crap Microsoft has pushed on us with Windows Vista. Personally, I hate all the transparencies. They just make the system harder to use. Ubuntu includes some transparencies, but they are done so much more tastefully than in Windows Vista. The only thing that I have to complain about is that I am not able to edit video on it like I can with my XP machine. However, I'm sure that can be solved with some tweaks.

So, I have to agree with John Dvorak and wholeheartedly give my two thumbs way up for Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex. Go download a copy today. (Psst. It even installs in Windows, and I think there is a Mac installer, too.)
