It has been quite a while since I posted. Many things have been going on. My latest project is testing out gOS. I just downloaded it and dropped the Live/Install CD in my Dell Latitude D810 Laptop. Booted up, put in my wireless WEP Key (I know WEP is weak, but it works for me), and now I am sitting comfortably in my bed blogging about gOS! Pretty sweet. It is Ubuntu based (which is Debian based) so I was partial to trying it out. gOS originally caught my attention because it runs Enlightenment E17 release, and it is perfect for bringing older hardware back to life. This has renewed my interest in building one of my old PCs as a Linux based media center and hooking it to my HDTV and Sony Surround system. Unfortunately the spare PC I have at home will not fix the task due to hardware limitations ( I would have to find another AGP video card because the one I have is PCI, and the onboard video doesn't have any way to connect to my TV). Alas, my better spare system is in use as a router at work (way overkill for what it is being used for) so I shall swap the two systems and use the one from work for the Linux based Media Center Project.
I know this post isn't really about finding stillness, but in the stillness we get reacquainted with things we love. I purchase some cheap sculpting clay two weeks ago, and tried my hand at that as well. The last few weeks have been exciting as I keep finding interesting projects to play with, but my time is pretty limited now, so I do not get as much time to spend on my pet projects as I would like.
That is all for today. Have a great weekend.
