Checking In


Ok, so I am finally installing Ubuntu on my laptop, but apparently my installation CD is messed up, and so installation stops in the middle and I have to rollback all hard disk resizing, and that too manually. Ok, sure. I also have a change of mind, and decide to install Ubuntu on top of Windows, like on my desktop system, but it will be stabler on the laptop, since this IS a Dell Latitude ... one of the many laptops specifically made to run Ubuntu. I mean, fine tweaked for Linux. How cool is that.

But guess what. Wubi, the Windows Ubuntu Installer, needs to download 600 MB of installation files (which make up the ISO which I burnt into the cd, which im running Wubi from) BUT ... there have been updates, and therefore, I have to wait 3 hours for the installation files to be downloaded. Ok, cool. So I decide to take my laptop to bed so I can lie down and watch an episode of Supernatural as download progresses. BUT, I accidently remove my wireless router's adapter from it's place, thus killing my laptop's wireless internet connection, and immaturely killing my download.

Ok, so I've come to the conclusion that I'll just install Wubi tommorow.

In other news, I'm not writing this in blogger right now, I'm using this Web Based, Full Screen, Word Processor. And the color scheme is bright green and black. Imagine staring at bright green text and black background for 10 minutes.

Moving on, notice the stars at the bottom of this blog post. Or any other blog post, actually. That's the new rating system I just implemented on my Blog! You can now rate posts on the fly. At least people with any brain power to evaluate a blog post can. Go ahead, try it out. In fact, go ahead and rate all the blog posts below this one. Hehe, thanks.

Like the new color scheme? Leave this post a comment.
