- Over 100 visitors per day. My audience is about where I want it to be for now. #
- Another week of skoolin’ done. I think I may actually survive this semester. #
- It’s Good Friday, boys and girls, and what a good Friday it is out there. Go play! #
- It’s beautiful outside. I should be out playing with the kids instead of in an office. I can’t wait until summer gets here. #
- I think I want NewEgg gift cards for Christmas. I feel the need to build a PC. #
I just upgraded my PC-BSD install to 1.5. Apparently the upgrade broke my wireless again.
Thankfully, I fixed it in 5 minutes versus the hours it took to configure the first time. This time I ran a script and double-checked the settings. Once I rebooted, all was well.
I have to say that I’m still ‘blah’ about the apparent lack of programs in PBI format to install, but their site was down that holds the programs. I’m still reserving judgment.
The interface is stunning compared to Win or even Linux. The old laptop’s display is amazingly bright and clear. The nVidia driver was installed simply by my selecting it and confirming that it worked.
The few things keeping me from jumping to BSD and leaving Linux are my wireless, more programs, and the sound buttons on the laptop not working. Yes, I know the volume and mute buttons are silly things to base a change on, but I use them when listening to podcasts.
I’ll keep playing.
