Linux desktop does not mean more support
Thursday, March 13th, 2008One of the biggest things I was worried about with switching certain users over to Ubuntu linux was they were not going to be able to do anything and would constantly be bothering my IT department with questions of how can I do this and how can I do that. So far this has not [...]
Linux likes nvidia
Thursday, March 13th, 2008One thing I can confirm now from building a couple of ubuntu boxes. Ubuntu likes nvidia way more than ATI. I’ve had a problem getting the screens configured correctly with ATI boards but so far nvidia ones have flown through easily.
I’m waiting until my new nvidia board gets delivered on friday and then I will [...]
dog training
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008Well we had a dog trainer come over last night and the puppies seem to be doing better, they did run and bark at her car when she drove up but they didn’t attack her :) she was very caucious and had treats which might have helped. She went through an hour training with them [...]
Linux desktop and wine
Wednesday, March 12th, 2008I have found a solution to having to run some applications in wine. The people who need to run these aps are very few, so I think the easiest thing to do is to have them running on one of our windows servers and then the users can just RDP to that box if they [...]

puppies
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008We are having a dog trainer come over tonight to see about the puppies.
I’m very interested to see if they are agressive to her when she arrives or if they only hate workman.
competitiveness
Tuesday, March 11th, 2008How do you become non-competitive? I have competed in sports my whole life, I was introduced to them when I was 3 and played every sport imaginable, Football, Baseball, Hockey, Soccer, for probably 4-5 years between 5 and 10 I played all of these sports in the same time. Is it really my fault that [...]
Interesting weekend.
Sunday, March 9th, 2008By that I mean saturday was crap, sunday was good.
Wife was up in arms on saturday, don’t know what the hell was going on, but she was angry at me all day long. lots of yelling a few explatives thrown around. So saturday was a complete bust.
Sunday much better, got up and took the youngest [...]
worry/scare/stress
Friday, March 7th, 2008so the puppies have started to be agressive towards people coming to the house. I think one of the workman must have done something to them because it started so suddenly. Luckily the contractors don’t come anymore and we will see if it calms down. I did take one of them to the vet yesterday [...]
linux desktop day 4
Friday, March 7th, 2008No problems today, which is good because we had problems elsewhere in the company and could not donate any time to this project if one arrose. So far everything is going very good, the printing is still a little bit of a hurdle and is preventing me implementing to other people but we are waiting [...]
