Once again I have fallen behind, missing a day on my blog. ?But I had a fun day. ?Bear who owes us some money and does chores to pay us back. ?She was supposed to do beading, making jewelry to sell at an upcoming craft fair. ?Her mother was angry because she hadn’t done her beading as promised. ?To encourage her to do her beading and to make it more pleasant for her, I sat and watched dragon movies on sci fi with her all day. ?Well, I took a nap in the chair as I work nights and did a repair project for my wife and emptied the dishwasher, made coffee, fed the chickens and collected eggs, but other than that, I mostly watched dragon movies with bear, and it was fun.
My wife passed on a poem to me from her younger daughter to put in my blog, very interesting, and I will, I just need to get more information on it.
I’ve upgraded my computer. ?I once had 512mb memory and I thought that was a lot, but have discovered that this is low grade, so I’ve upgraded to 1.5 gig, and it is a lot faster, makes a difference, but the Internet isn’t any faster, that is disappointing. ?I’ve also added a DVD/CD reader writer. ?Now this cost me 24 dollars. ?Just to give you a bit of history. ?I think it was gateway computers who was just one man who came up with the idea of adding a CD player to computers. ?Such an amazing thing, and expensive, only Universities and big businesses could afford to own it, we’re talking somewhere around the figure of 10 grand. ?And we’re talking a CD reader. ?Now I have a CD reader/writer, DVD reader/writer, for about 24 dollars, amazing. ?
I like Linux and it is getting better all the time. ?With my high speed cable access and now my burner, I have downloaded and burnt Kubuntu, which is a derivative of Ubuntu with the KDE desktop. ?I like the KDE desktop the best, it is more like windows like most of us are used to and I find it more functional than the other desktop options like Gnome for instance.??

1. An African phrase meaning “humanity towards others”.
2. “A person with Ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others, does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a greater whole and is diminished when others are humiliated or diminished, when others are tortured or oppressed.”
3. A distribution of Linux |
Here is an example of why Linux is better than Windows. ?After upgrading my computer, if I boot up to Linux, Linux says, “Cool!” ?Windows however says, “what the hell is this, I can’t understand this.” ?So you have to install more software and drivers and still Windows doesn’t understand without a reboot. ?You know what is even more sad, we pay for that, but Linux is free. ?A true testimony to free in freedom.
It is now Sunday morning. ?I was going to write something else, but I can’t remember now what it was, oh well, like my mother would always say, it must have been a lie, I don’t know, I can’t remember. ?After I post this, I’ll go take a nap and get up and get to work outside and around the house. ?Because it is Sunday, because we work on Sunday, because we rested on Saturday. ?It’s a religious thing. ?Because God, the way I understand it, rested on the seventh day, which is a Saturday, and I’m guessing, he got back to work on the first day, Sunday, but I’m not sure, the bible isn’t that specific.? But honestly, we just do it that way because on Saturday we are tired and on Sunday we have work to get done and on occassion, neighbors will remind us that is Sunday, a day of rest and?I don’t know where they come up with that.? Like everything else, everybody just follows everybody else, but not me.? I have a mind and I use it and I go my own way.
Peace
