Let me first start off by saying that I really don't feel great. I had a rest this arvo, woke up tonight and now I just feel... x_x... very sore, I'll probably spend tomorrow in bed and sleep early tonight. Now, that covers bleurgh.
Great day
It's been a great day. First up it was pay day and now that I've got my Cert IV I'm pretty sure I get paid more. I have the moneys in my account but not sure how much I'm getting paid exactly because I had a load of extra hours to be paid from the holiday period.
After finding all that in my account, I headed off to TAFE for the day. When the bus arrived, the ticket machines were broken so everyone with 1o-trip saver cards (such as your truly) were just told to get on the bus and that was the end of it. FREE BUS TRIP ^_^!!
Next up, during my first TAFE class everyone in the class had to write something on the whiteboard that we would check if we couldn't access the network. Everyone had to have something different. After that we all had to pick one (other than our own), rub it off the board and explain it. The teacher's name was written on the board so I was considering rubbing that off then Kenny comes to me and tells me he'll buy me a drink if I do. So... I get up there, rub it off and explain that a lot of problems are user error :). She thought it was creative, allowed it and I got a free bottle of juice at lunch :D
I get the feeling I'm missing something but that's pretty good as it is! WAIT! School zones! On my way to and from TAFE today I managed to get home just outside of the school zone times. I checked my clock and the times were 6:59am and 1:59pm. School zone times are 7am - 9am and 2pm - 4pm. The result? +20km/h ^_^!!
Ok ok, change of Linux distro. I'd had enough of trying to get Gentoo Linux to work properly with the Linux drivers for ATI or nVidia. Both seemed to need recompiling of the kernel... So, STUFF THAT! I had a look at my Linux distro collection to pick another one to try. I was considering openSUSE 10.2 but was deterred a bit by the need for 6 CDs so I kept looking and noticed Ubuntu 7.04. I've heard a bit about Ubuntu. Mainly that it's easy to use and seems to be growing in popularity so I thought I'd give it a go. On to [a single] disc we go, boot up and install. Worked straight up with no issues! I installed it in under an hour but realised I'd forgotten to remove the old install first so I re-installed it again this afternoon removing all partitions and it's now up and running. I'm still yet to try to install the nVidia driver but things are looking up so far. At this very early stage, Ubuntu Linux definitely has me interested. I'll report back on future experiences.
