Wow, I’ve just looked at my blog and haven’t posted anything since Nov 2009?! ? WTF is that all about anyhow? Lets see, what’s happened since my last posting? Well, I’ve returned from South Africa :) It was a great trip, ran longer then originally planned but it was good.
We’ve all suffered through Christmas and of course New Years, so Happy New Year eh?
Well, that brings us to today now. I’ve converted back to Windows (it was a sad day yesterday). I’d finally had enough of Ubuntu. It was a series of issues that forced me back to Windows … apps that stopped working, funny things happening since upgrading from Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10, that was a mistake for sure and generally speaking I just grew tired of missing functionality in Ubuntu when everyone you deal with uses Windows. Oh well. I’m not running Windows 7, 64-Bit, finally making full use of the hardware in my laptop. The only “issue” I have right now is Win 7 doesn’t seem to support the ACPI power management stuff.. so, as a result when I pull the power and run on battery the only performance tuning that happens is the screen dims but the CPU’s run full out and thus drain the battery at an alarming rate. I’m sure I’ll find the correct drivers for that issue at some point.
Oh yeah, I bought a new car as well .. pics of the new motor here ..
There’s not really much else to report I suppose. As usual, check out the photos on our flickr account for new photos and videos. Such as this one, Lisa playing her piano..
I hope I’ll have some more interesting things to blog about in the future.. just sort of lost the desire to blog.. hoping it comes back.
