Life has been quieting down a little bit lately...well ok, not very much, but at least enough for me to write this entry haha. Life has actually been getting busier and busier. I find that I am rarely home on the weekends, and now that show season is upon us, I have a feeling I'll be around less and less haha. It kind of sucks, because I really wanted to work a lot on Confessh.us, but I doubt I'll be able to find the time, but maybe that's where jimmy  can step up. Although he's probably got just as many things to do as I, if not more. So yeah...

These last 2 weekends I've been mostly down in Massachusetts at airsoft OPs. This weekend (Saturday) was one of the biggest OPs in New England, Battle for Tolland. There's like 300 people there or something crazy, it's wicked fun though! I was supposed to go to an OP today in Vermont, but then I remember how much the players in VT annoy me...so I skipped out and watched some Dirty Jobs, and went horseback riding instead haha. I was only able to work one of the horses, then I came home.

Played some GTAIV with ltdan and then I proceeded to Ubuntu my Shuttle. It's so sexy!!

So I've been spending a buncha time geeking out the last couple days. I moved my Shuttle to my desk (which is far better then the corner of the room) and brought up an old PC from below to use as my Skype machine. I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on the Shuttle and wow. I really really like it. I've been using it exclusively for the last couple days and I am really impressed so far. Mind you, all I am doing is surfing the web, chatting on IM, and doing a bit of work in the Terminal. I definitely would never use this as my main OS, I am far to addicted to OS X and it's wonderfully amazing applications. Linux cannot even compare to it, but it's definitely awesome for what I am using it for.

Today I bought my first ever flash drive, waaay proud of myself. I was in the store and I was like, ok, time to stop being such a loser, I need one of these, since everyone else has one haha. I really have NO idea what I am going to use it for, but at least I can say I have one! It's 8GB, so that's cool.

Did all of my Chapter 6 notes. I was proud of myself. Took me like four hours because not only did I have to take the notes, but I actually really had to understand the material. This chapter was on IP Routing, which is a bit better then the Chapter 3 (subnetting, VLSM) stuff. So now after I finish this entry, I'm going to work on the written lab, which is hopefully not to hard!!

I installed Windows 7 on that other PC, my new Skype box :) Everything went pretty smooth, it found my new 500GB drive, and the install didn't bother me as much as a Windows XP install, more like click install and it does it thing...I liked that. It has tons of pretty wallpapers too, so that made me happy. What didn't make me happy is driver issues, but I guess that's something one should be used to if you're using Windows...always driver issues. This time it's the audio drivers...and I don't know what to do...more like I don't have time to Google it...I am sure it's a simple fix...download some file and it'll work :)

Spent a bunch of time at the barn today, was wicked nice out. I couldn't bring myself to do the CCNA notes, and then do the labs...so I took a break and worked the horses. I'll be gone to Massachusetts all of next week at a horse show, so I've gotta get them ready for that.

Tonight, like I said, finishing (hopefully) the written lab bit of Chapter 6, then I think (if I get this audio drive issue resolved) I'll be playing some Xbox with ltdan . I would like to get back into studying Japanese more routinely since I'll be taking the class in a couple weeks (of which I am VERY excited to do). I love it.

Alright, enough of my spamming, and blabberin'! Have a nice night! <3
