Zzzzzz

Applied for unemployment today. Not much to say about it. I think the worst part was my cell phone ringing while I was there. It was so quiet in that place and then my phone blasts out a David Bowie ringtone at full volume!

Sunday was busy. I spent the day helping a friend pick out a computer. She took me out to lunch and then we took her computer to her house and I got it all set up. When I got home I decided it was time to get all the sap spots off my car. Note to self...never let sap spots bake in the sun for several weeks before trying to clean them off. My arms are SO sore! I scrubbed and scrubbed and there's still spots on it. I got some bug & tar remover and it's also supposed to remove sap. When I can use my arms again I'll give it a whirl.

Spent most of the weekend and today using Linux (you thought I gave up on it, didn't you?). I'm using Mandrake Linux. Ease of installation gets a 10. It's easier than installing windows and it found and recognized my printer, sound, video and internet. For ease of setup with a wireless internet connection I give it a 1 right now. I searched the net and tried everything I could think of and I still can't get wireless internet in Linux. Ease of overall use I give it an 8. Ease of installing software I have to give it a 4. Some things are easier than others and I'm still trying to figure out how to compile. System stability I give it a 7. I seem to have the ability to crash any computer I touch.

Tomorrow is registration and the kid has a Dr. appt at 7:30 am. AGH!
