I submit this log for your enjoyment, despite the fact that it admits my still newbish status in the land of the penguins. Enjoy:

Poll Guilty Splurges for the New Job
* This one appears that it would require waiting for them to restock, but I like it enough to keep it in the running despite this.

I originally posted this on KubuntuForums.net, but I felt that I put enough long winded effort and I have little enough overlap between there and here that I would repost this here in hopes of opening dialog with some of you who read my journal.

The last few days, I've been watching things pop up on the various syndication feeds and news sites I ( Read more... )

Well, that is annoying. I hadn't realized that since I'd upgraded to Kubuntu 9.04 that Amarok hadn't been submititng my recently listened tracks. Amarok was already annoying me because certain functionality I depended upon in it wasn't there in this version two development, but they'd decided to stop including the old version one-something when ( Read more... )

So, I found my dragon ring. I guess it'd been in a pants pocket, as I found it in the bottom of the washing machine when I was transferring clothes from the washer to the dryer. Horray for finding my missing ring. The ring I bought to replace it, it's still missing in action, but since I liked the dragon ring more, I'm glad that's the one I found.

So, since I did my Kubuntu 8.10 install, I've had a non-beta version of Amarok back. This has made me happy as there are things that they haven't added back into the beta that I'd missed being able to use, but they didn't make the stable version available in the KDE4 for 8.04.

I now have all 20 virtual desktops names with the Klingon word for their number, and I can expand and contract my number of desktops based upon my needs and KDE seems to ( Read more... )

So, having been on both sides of the coin here, I've noticed the best way to get linux support is not to ask for it, but to say "this shit doesn't work" or "I'll have to look into how to fix this later, but {insert complaint here}". Even when on a topic that I wasn't expecting help on, if I rant about what I'm battling at the moment, most of my ( Read more... )

So the dorkiest awesome thing has had me bouncy for the last couple days. Diziara, my Klingon-Trill red-headed lunatic Star Trek RPG character, the one who I tell people represents my ID, finally got promoted to a full Lieutenant. I created this character back in high school for an RPG a friend of mine was creating, and I made her as a Lieutenant ( Read more... )
