And now we begin a journey, a travel back through time.
One finger is a touch swollen from accidentally being a hammer this morning. Should I need to be rude to anyone today, that will prove handy.
Yesterday I watched The Princess Bride for the first time. I like it. A lot. A simple tale well told and a whole lot of fun.
Ahem. Moving away from that bit of inarticulation, I also got around to creating a Live CD for Ubuntu. It works well on my pc (except there is no sound but that probably stems from the absence of any sound card) and on this one - or did, until it froze. Not going to risk actually installing it until I feel I have a handle on the idea of partitions and could venture to hope not to lose all my data (stories). On a related topic, my mother is in the market for a laptop and wants to know which brand to trust. Since I have formed the impression most people on my friends list have some experience in this matter (and I do not, being a prospective owner only) - anyone have any recommendations, pro or con?
