Two and a half days to finish an OS upgrade, thanks to a slow connection. Seems to have been worthwhile, rather enjoying Ubuntu 11.04 so far. Had been worried about the switch to Unity for the desktop, but it adds a definite spaciousness to the screen.
Not that I know the technical details. It has been so far more awkward for doing anything I need to cross-reference across multiple windows, since the bottom taskbar is now gone and I am used to relying on that for being aware of what I have open and (depending what I am doing) juggling between a few different screens. So it is taking time to learn how to do the same without it.
And that was not most of the day, but with how long it takes to load anything (e.g. job ads or email) I'm feeling very tired. Probably this is the usual state of things and I am just awakening to awareness of it - it seems I am constantly waking to awareness, every couple of weeks or so - but it makes me wonder how, how, how I am going to get done the things I need done. Exhausting, and slow, and not enough time, is life. I was never very swift even with unlimited time. Little done then, how could there be anything now?
