Yes, that’s the Ubuntu Virtual Machine loading in the VMWare Player on my laptop. So far, so good on using it, being able to mount the Windows shares from my laptop and work on things. The only things that bug me right now are that I can’t seem to open files and save them directly to the Windows shares from the virtual machine, I have to make a copy in the Linux file system and copy that back over to Windows, and VMWare player doesn’t support wireless cards. That’s ok, it’ll still be a good learning experience, and I can play KBattleship anytime, any place! *L*

Saturday, after we had all gone to see Changing Lanes ( A decent flick), Angela…

    It’s from Australia, but the part that I have looked at so far could be useful for everyone trying to figure out how to build and maintain a workplace that supports mental health. (Check your local laws, though, as the legal references are obviously related to Australian workplace safety rules)

  • On second thought

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Maybe “toughing it out until 5” wasn’t the best idea I’ve ever had. In my weakened mental state I think I just agreed to do some on-the-side consulting work for an organization that I’m not all that fond of dealing with as part of my regular job! Oh well, it’s one machine, a couple of…

  • My new browser of choice – ARC

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Simply put, I can’t log in and out of accounts all day, and I also don’t want to deal with my computer running out of memory. I spent many years walking that thin line. So, I was intrigued when I saw someone talking about a new browser they were using that was easy to use with multiple profiles and optimized for memory usage. I was skeptical but intrigued enough to give it a try. 

    That browser was Arc for Mac.
