Beat Blogging

Writing blog entries of meaning and reason seems to avail me not these days.  Instead, wondrous entries that twist down meandering streets greet my fingers.  I had tried to give up on the blogging and just go with static pages.  This does not work sadly.  I start feeling a bit uncomfortable that there is no real way for me to “publish”.  I don’t live under any fantasy that people would actually get something of value from my spaces here.  Instead, after almost 7 years of this, its come down to my own catharsis and release.  Its a drug and I cannot stop.  I need it dammit.  I guess I can blog the body Linux these days and also go on to talk about various and sundry happenings much like I’ve done so many years and times.

Linux and Ubuntu

Here is the latest in my adventures with Linux.  I’ve reached the point at home where I desire Linux in the evenings. That’s a good sign, BTW.  I spend some hours each day on XP with Outlook and Exchange poking me with meetings, email, and remnders.  I need something on its own level that cannot poke.  I’ve also been working at trying to get ACPI working better on 7.10.  It just is not stable unfortunately and often it works perfectly and other times it just fails.  I’ve edited a few files and tried different suspend and resume scriptlets.  The honest truth is that Linux just cannot do suspend an resume too well yet.  Perhaps that’s okay in the end.  I don’t do work on these computers so it really does not matter.

Work and Play

Work is play for the most part.  I love the work and when you love the work it transcends and echoes and makes you glad.  It seems that its been years since I actually could say that I love the doing of it.  Thanks Visa and my colleagues there.  You all truly and wisely rule.  Its also nice to work for a computer that is not a VC target or hampered by those buzzards.  Perhaps its just me but it seems that the VCs really don’t get what they do too well.  That’s why they support and extend funding to companies that really cannot turn the corner and never will.  Well, such is life.

Conclusions of the day

Seems that weblogging is my thing like it or not.  I’ll just dig in here, get my pencil sharp and gather some notes.  I do have one other good bit of news.  I’m now down to a smaller piece of my original self by almost 75 pounds.  Unbelievable. it was all eating and drinking and not doing either too well.  I’ve learned the value of food over the past months.  Food is to be treasured and loved and enjoyed.  But one has to place boundaries and limits.  Understanding the limits is truly a lot of work.
