Linux...

Well, obviously I have not written, but I have a decent excuse. My laptop crapped out on me. Vista black screen of death to be exact. I tried for days to get that beast working again...but made absolutely no headway. So I picked up an external drive...copied what I could to it...and installed Linux. Today is only my second day on it...but things are going well. I took a couple classes back in high school...when Linux was associated with uber-geeks...but now? Wow...things are MUCH different. I have not even seen a command line. I am impressed. Oh...and now that it is plug and play I am much happier. Device support was a tough game in the late 90s. As all things do...Linux has evolved...and fairly rapidly.

It appears that my battery is about to die though...I just wanted to make a quick note that I am still here...and that fall weather is quickly approaching! This place should pick up in activity pretty quick as the best time of year rolls around like...oh...lets say a Taco Bell grilled stuffed burrito after an evening of partaking in hops based beverages would. :P

Enough out of me for now...stay tuned for some recent pictures and some events! I look forward to finally sitting down and sharing some of my activities again.

Goodnight from Northern Michigan...
