Unfortunately in Firefox you have to spell each character. So everything else you see here is typed in notepad and then pasted into Firefox. Overall it is a quite nice thing to have. Nevertheless I would like to be able to use it with OpenOffice and Firefox more conveniently. But I don’t really feel like using Internet Explorer or Microsoft word. But logging in to Windows Live Messenger without keyboard and mouse nor trackpad not to mention logging in to WordPress and posting an entry is fun. I’m now going to stop writing and continue with the other duties.
You must be joking, right? (Silverlight for Linux :))
While browsing around with Firefox in Kubuntu I was presented the following offer:
How stupid is that? And why would I even want it? At the moment I’m rather happy with my system, I use Vista on the same machine rather rarely because it is just so slow while Linux is pretty fast and everything I need in everyday use is working. That includes wireless, USB, printing over LAN to a printer attached to XP machine and accessing XP fileshare. Figuring out the last one in Kubuntu didn’t take much time, while in Vista, well after couple of searches I felt I have better things to do with my time. Sure I might eventually take the time to tweak Vista to be faster, but I doubt it’ll be any time soon. I like that I don’t have to bother with typical Windows updates that interrupt usually at the most inconvenient time possible. Sure I update both OS-es but Kubuntu’s updates never disturb me, I’m just notified that there are updates available. The only bugger at the moment would be temperature that is higher in Linux compared to Windows.
My filesystem ate a folder
That’s how it looks like. I’m absolutely sure where I saved it and with what name. However the folder with couple of other files is gone overnight and find/ | grep “industrial” returns nothing. Nevertheless Writer saved it successfully giving no error message. I can’t really imagine what happened to it. But since computer-related posts often are in the top at tr.ee, perhaps someone smarter knows the answer. For now I have to get used to the idea of writing my essay once again which is annoying.
What is boredom?
I haven’t experienced it for couple of weeks at all. And.. I probably won’t until mid-January :D. University keeps me busy with all those things except linear algebra which I did last spring.
Then there’s Spikker for those interested in crosswords, both making and solving. I finished it up to a point and now it just waits for further entries or additional php code.
