Well, as I said in my LJ, ladies and gentlemen, the time is almost here.
This is my last week in Warner Robins, Ga.
*sigh*
13 years in this military town, and now, all of a sudden, here’s college? and in Atlanta, of all places?
Geez, I don’t know what to expect, but then again, such a plight is already somewhat familiar to you all, if you’ve followed my stuff that long enough.
Meanwhile, though, I’ve been using Ubuntu Linux on my HP Pavilion a317x as an alternative to Windows XP. However, I’ve decided to go back to XP, since 1) I miss my online media, 2) the graphics for Ubuntu (and Kubuntu, its KDE counterpart) are nothing more than needlessly terrible (even the screen resolution is fixed at an aggravating 640×480!), and 3) there are plenty more .exes than .debs (the only type of acceptable executable for Ubuntu; you have to convert tarballs and rpms into .deb, if you want to know). Plus, I’m sick of dependencies, dependencies, dependencies. Check out the recent screenshot if you want.
So I’m sorry to any of the Linux community who may reside at DA and who are offended by what I’m about to say, but Linux (or at least its Debian-based family) has a LONNNNNG way to go before it can match the caliber and integratedness which makes Windows the leviathan of an OS that it is at present.
So back to the Windows ghetto I go….damn.
Anywho, we just obtained the shot records today, and I’ll probably pack my bags on Friday or something. I’ll still come back to WR (often, probably), so I’ll leave a great deal of my stuff here at the house.
Also, I’m trying to build up a field of contacts in Atlanta in advance of my move. I know that DragonCon will take place shortly afterward, and I doubt that I’ll be able to go (with college and money, of course, being the main issues), so I hope that anyone who may be going will have the best of times there.
Well, that’s it for now. I’ll probably submit some more stuff before I leave, and I don’t think that this will be the last time that I make a post at DA, so I’ll be back. Until that day, though, *love and peace*!
That was from Trigun, btw.
