Let’s go back to Princeton
At commencement time,
Sample each reunion:
That’s the life for mine!
Ramble round the campus,
Full of jollity,
Our location for celebration
Is New Jersee.
Off to my 5th Reunion back at Princeton! ^_^
Life and Times, Princeton
So, a couple of weeks ago, I posted a rather annoyed entry about how Linux hasn’t changed all that much. Now, while I will stand by a lot of what I said, I can say that I don’t think MY hardware issues are linux’s fault. After getting Windows 7 on my machine, it seems there’s still a hardware failure somewhere. This is unfortunate because when it’s running, Windows 7 actually performs better than Linux was on my box.
So, while I am not happy in any way about it, I may have to bite the bullet int he near future and upgrade my computer hardware. I mean, I guess this is to be expected, given I hadn’t purchased new hardware in almost 6 years, and what I did get was a netbook. Still, I’m again keen on having some sort of desktop machine; and my media server is also giving up the ghost, so it looks like it’s time. Thankfully, I think I can use a lot of my stuff spread across the new gear, but I’m looking at another grand or so to get two fully functioning machines.
Oh well, I guess going almost six years is good enough.

Warning, this is really REALLY nerdy. But I found it hilarious. Take what you want from that.

In case people hadn’t heard, Microsoft went through another round of layoffs. Thankfully, my group was not effected, so I live to fight another day.
Unfortunately, I have friends who weren’t so lucky.
