Yo, haven’t been here for quite a while. So exactly where have I been?

Well, had a stint back at DA (I may never completely quit that place). Plus, I’ve been DLing stuff as usual, mostly for the Mozilla family of applications, and man…you guys *need* to check them out if you haven’t tried them yet:

http://aimfire.mozdev.org/ (YES, it *does* exist!!!)

And a few other stuff which I’ll mention later.

Also, in my open-source sojourns, my dibblings, and my dabblings, etc., I also tried to switch my HP Pavilion from Windows XP to Ubuntu Linux.

Yes…I tried.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending upon your liking of the Blue Screen of Death which we *all* fear), it didn’t go. Every time I rebooted, hoping to get the live CD (which I left downloading overnight, since it took more than a day to DL) to kick in whatever startup I could, would, or should have been seeing, the dreaded Windows XP bootscreen always showed up in order to spite me.

Thank God that I don’t have a gun license…

Anyway, long afterward, my favorite news network of all time, Newsworld International, went off the air this past Sunday.

*sniffsigh* I recorded it into the annals of my editorial writing history at DA before, during, and after the *Black Screen of Contextual Journalism-based News Television Death* appeared, after which I turned off the TV…probably for good (with the exception of Adult Swim Saturday Night).

Damn…everything good *has* died, as put by Disturbed in their song “Down with the Sickness”.

Also, in my wanderings, I’ve often frequented Yahoo Groups, where I run the *only* Fanmi Lavalas YahooGroup in existence (just got through writing Marguerite Laurent, btw). Plus, everyday, I check out http://news.google.com/news?q=haiti&hl=en&lr=&sa=N&tab=wn in order to find out the latest shit to happen in Port-au-Prince.

In fact, did you guys know that Michaelle Jean from CBC/Radio-Canada will, on Oct. 1st, become Canada’s first African-descended Governor-General? Yep, North America’s first Black head of state. This is gonna be something….

Well, trying out the few versions of BlackBox for Windows…seems rather complicated, since I’m trying to get that smooth, minimalist environment that I’ve always wanted for my desktop.

Oh, and I’m at Yahoo 360, if you want to know.

Peace!
