My latest Experiment

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*

    Yup, that’s a fresh, new Movable Type installation over at that new domain. Really wasn’t all that difficult and didn’t take too long, considering I was only working on it while waiting for actual work processes to finish and would have to stop every 5 minutes or so. 🙂 I guess if it had my…

    Not sure if it’s related to the blaster worm or not, but email to this domain is not being delivered right now, and hasn’t been since at least sometime this afternoon.
