05.20.07"shut-up!"So we (Ashley, Me and the Marrieds) went to the Alison Krauss concert at the Fox last night where someone actually told us to shut-up. Really.

05.09.07linuxSo, taking advantage of my new-ish PC, I decided to go completely nerdy and install Ubuntu Linux. I have to admit that I liked it quite a bit, but it is still not ready for prime time.

I experimented with Wine to install some Windows programs, but it was hit-or-miss at best. One thing that was pretty awesome was Beryl, which is a UI ...
