Today was fun. My dad may get my mom a new computer so I get the old one and replace that Vaio. He is looking at a small eMachines over at Staples but not sure yet. Supper today was Old Country Buffet, pretty good but crowded.

Weather was a little chilly today and tomorrow will be 36 and AM snow showers. I put the Titan back on the Slash for now. I will be getting 32 pitch gears since I am sick of the 48 pitch ones stripping easy. I need to find out the exact gearing I need before I order something this time.

Well heres a weird issue. I have no text on any of the menus on Open Office on the Vaio. Something is wrong. I thought when I followed a guide to install 3.0.1 I screwed it up. I reinstalled a fresh version of 8.10 on Vaio since I wanted to redo everything but its still broken.

Supper today was minute steaks and French fries. Weather today was wet but kind of warm. Tomorrow will be 34 and a little windy. I am going to start trying to learn something again. Not C++ this time but Python. I am also trying to arrange my room for a desktop better again. Always fun!

Well today was fun. I ended up resizing the partition on the Toshiba. Vista is officially gone. I lost all my ratings in iTunes for some reason and like 500 news ones from iPod because I didn’t know what happened. Thanks Apple.

Weather was nice today and I even ran the Slash a little until the gear mesh started to give me issues. I will have to get more pinion gears in different sizes. Supper today was Papa Johns. Weather for tomorrow is 55 and rain and windy.

Well today was fun, I made 20 bucks raking some bean pods from my neighbors yard. Weather was really nice today and I got a new keyboard and mouse for that old Vaio. I am going to try and get a better desktop though.

Weather for tomorrow will be 48 with AM rain showers with some freezing drizzle. Supper was artichokes from Price Chopper, really good. And a dollar each so we had 3. I may take a walk tomorrow since a guy here has HAM radio antennas up and I want to see how he made his, or where he got them.

February 24, 2009

Well I set up that old Vaio again. I am using this for a temporary desktop until I can find something better. I have Ubuntu 8.10 on it and a friend is sending me 2 128MB sticks of RAM. Sony says I can use 512MB max, and this will bump me to 384MB.

Supper today was friend chicken and macaroni and cheese. Weather was kind of chilly today and tomorrow will be 42, wow nice and warm compared to what we have had. I may play with my Slash tomorrow. My tower stuff came early.

February 23, 2009

Well, today was kind of boring. It was windy so I stayed inside. I got Open Office 3 installed on Toshiba though. I really need to boot Vista and get it set up to be useful. Right now, its pretty useless. I do have iTunes installed for the iPod though.

Weather tomorrow will be 31 and not as windy. I has Salisbury streak patties in gravy, peas, and mashed potatoes, today. Pretty good with gravy for a change, they are not as dry. I have been looking into the HAM radios again and plan on making my antenna soon so I can see if this thing works!

February 22, 2009

Well today was fun. We watched two movies. Open Season 2, and the new Mummy, Plus we watched Horton Hears a Who yesterday. Supper today was pasta. Came out really good too. Weather was nice and didn’t get any snow except a dusting. Tomorrow will be 27 and windy.

I played with the BB gun a little bit today. I tried shooting a can full of ice with a pellet and 10 pumps from about 15 feet back and it didn’t go through. I don’t like using pellets because they cost more. Ubuntu is still working well so lets see what happens.

February 21, 2009

Well, since today was my birthday, we went for Chinese food. I got a big piece of Salmon there since its the only one I like the taste of. Then I got some won ton soup. Weather today was pretty nice compared the other day. It will be 36 and snow tonight and stopping tomorrow morning.

Linux is working kind of good now. Maybe I will end up removing the Vista partition soon! I will have to keep tweaking it and making sure it all works before I decided what I will be doing either way. I am taking a break from my RC until it gets warmer I think.

February 20, 2009

Well today was COLD! It was windy so even worse. Tomorrow will be 37 and my birthday! I got 10 bucks today so I am up to 80 now. MY goal maybe a Eee PC, I don’t really know yet. I had to redo Vista today since I messed it up when I installed Ubuntu last night after I posted.

As far as RC goes, I am pretty much done until it gets warmer out. I didn’t even go outside today except for grocery shopping. I am also reading more eBooks now too. Supper today was chicken fingers and French fries. I am starting to get sick I think.

February 19, 2009

Well, heres a new thing. I set up my Averatec and Toshiba as dual boot systems for Ubuntu. I want to get it working and I am sick of going back only to reinstall later. Plus if I do get Ubuntu working perfect I can remove Windows and not reinstall!

Weather was cold today and windy and we had some snow showers. Tomorrow will be 29 with snow showers and wind. Supper today was chicken Florentine which was good. I shot the BB gun a bit today. Poor cans never stood a chance…
