The bad news, is now its time for me to take this post to do a cheesy flashback re-run of the last year worth posts (am I allowed to do this even after only 5 posts about next to nothing).
Well, I started this morning by updating all of my 5 posts mostly with spelling and grammatical errors fixed, and adding some info to several posts.
Even my original post had never been properly proofread and had many errors this last whole year it was up. After a revision or two it almost reads like English now!
- My first post is a rant that gives little insight into the real me (wasn't that the point) despite being a claim to try to get in touch with the reader. Okay it did hit on several key points in my life and also give a somewhat general overview. Let me start over, please! This year I plan to take this a little more (or less) seriously and start really reaching out to a new audience (in other words someone besides myself). General overview for those scared to read the whole thing, it covers most of the computer models I've used and when I started using what internet service (sorta). Boring stuff, really.
- My second post was supposed to thank Blogger in some way for giving me this space to share with the world and make it so easy to use, and so standards complaint, and so wonderfully free of charge without any ads anywhere to speak of (im so good at compliments)! I was trying to make some point about how freedom of speech and some of my favorite radio stations play into all this and ended up with a short post brought to a dead halt with little upkeep.
- The third post was my excuse to not write much of anything that month. Google and other service providers had started doing business in china. I also made a comment about how a a friend and I were in the midst of a failing business. I felt from early on in between the other person we had to leave behind, and my lack of technical experience, we were going to have even more problems down the road. Unfortunately, back then felt I was just along for an interesting ride as long as I could.
- My fourth post is proof I could not stay away from tech based chatter for long, even after a couple months without a post. Ubuntu was the new kid on the block and I always love to try things out. This one kinda stuck. Best distro I touched since Debian to date. Cant say it beats it outright, in fact I prefer Debian for many things in many ways for many reasons however, Ubuntu is even easier to use with many things geared towards a desktop which is a big pro for me as my primary personal computer has used GNU/Linux systems since 2003. Also I mentioned something about testing Mozilla software.
- After practically forgetting I had a blog, my last update of the year came when I read some articles about the Firefox logos, Debian, the GNUzilla project. I quickly posted my comments about IceWeasel.
So far this month my mother and I have been discussing building her a Windows Vista Media Center Type PC. Hopefully I can boot some GNU/Linux stuff on one of her Partitions. We will see once the time comes. Vista is finally on its way more than 5 years after the last version. Is everyone going to rush out and buy it? Im not even trying to push Vista, but she wants windows, so we will see what she gets by the end of the month...
