Grandpa Alien has been fixed

By admin May 29th, 2011, under General Thoughts

I’ve re-installed Ubuntu on Grandpa Alien and he looks better now.

 

All I have to do now is to figure out if Jumpstart online game will work on a Linux box, and I’ll be set.  I don’t think it will.  ah well.

 

oh, dropbox.  gotta install dropbox.

 

Well, i goofed

Well, I goofed.

 

I wiped the old win XP box and installed Ubuntu.  But i gave it the wrong name.  It should have been Grandpa Alien, but instead it’s Grand Alien.  ugh.

It’s aint that grand.

Boy, work has been rough recently.  I’m learning new coding and procedures, but it’s like drinking from a fire hydrant.

Spending time with my daughter

By admin November 15th, 2009, under Uncategorized

She is up last at night and can’t sleep.  Would post a picture, but my camera is asleep. Don’t want to wake the monkey.  (think flintstone’s camera).

She says, “I smart, I talk good.”

I’m back writing for free again

 I’m back writing for free again.  I tried to write for profit, but nobody would pay me.  I did get a  few offers to go away, but none seemed serious.  So i hung around them for awhile.  Know what i mean?

Where is my energy drink?

Been too busy getting nothing done. Same old, same old. No excuse whatsoever.

Anyways. What have I missed?

Hmm..

Arthur C. Clark died.

We went to Atlanta GA. for our family’s spring break. More about that at the family’s website.

I’ve noticed that smoking is running up the price of gasoline. I’ve watched co-workers go out for a smoke and sit in their cars (too keep warm on very cold days) using up gas for no reason then to put tar into their lungs. nicotine into their blood stream.

I recently ran across a website saying the next season of Doctor Who is off and running and is looking good. I certainly hope they learned how to use foreshadowing properly. You use it gently and subtly, you do not apply it with a jackhammer.

Oh, one really neat and simple web site for LEGO Mindstorm NXT projects. NXT Programs.  Dave Parker is a genius at simplicity. I love it. I’m checking his site weekly to copy his successes. I’ve actually built a few, I’ll get pics up eventually.

This is just a test. This is only a test.

If this was a real posting, I would have something important to write about. Instead, I am trying to figure out how to get my WordPress Blog to work properly.

As you can see, there is not much to say.
