Enjoy!
Lately, I have been thinking of a bunch of things. The usual bills and normal everyday issues comes to mind, but one of those issues or thoughts, comes to me way too often.
For a number of years now, I have been challenging myself – trying to figure out what to do. I feel like I can do more, and I want to do more…but I don’t know what to do. I have a wonderful family, very caring relatives, and a decent career. However I feel that one piece is missing, and I have no idea what it could be.
Could it be a job, or could it be a “calling” to do something more? I dunno
I was thinking about joining the armed forces since I’m under the acceptable age bracket, but as my wife pointed out, I will be missing a bunch of things. So I dunno if that would be right for me anymore.
I could try joining some other “places”, but I honestly feel I am too unknowledgeable in those areas.
So in the end – I dunno what to do. I guess this thought or dream of mine will be something of a fantasy unless I can figure out what this could be…
I would like to thank those who served, or who are currently serving, in the armed forces for their hard work and dedication to our country’s freedom. We wouldn’t have it without the sacrifices of those men and women on the front line…
Well, we had Progressive for a number of years now and I figured I would try out the Snapshot program. I received the device in the mail, and checked for connectivity via the progressive site.
We drive around 400 miles a week, but its all highway. So hopefully we don’t have hard stops since its a constant flow of traffic (hopefully).
Also, we mainly drive during the medium risk in the morning (around 9am), and no risk when we come home.
I will post more details in around a week or so when I get my first overview.
Well, as soon as Ubuntu 12 LTS came out – I knew I would have to upgrade from 10.04 LTS. I tried from ssh, and since I did this before without any issues, I figured I would do it again. However, I ran into issues.
For one, my /boot was filled up with older kernel images so I could not install the upgraded kernel. My mistake for not keeping on top of this, but it should of auto deleted the older ones.
Secondly, the SSH connection dropped – which means I could not see what was being prompted to me. I managed to do a reconfigure on the packages that need to be configured, and I was all set to go.
But in the end, I started fresh with a new install just in case other things went wrong in the configuration.
Luckily this is a VM, so I could make snapshots and not worry about recovery and etc 🙂
Looks like Windows 8 CP is finally out.
