Thumbs up.  Way up.

Kubuntu is a version of Linux.  It's a variation of the very popular Ubuntu.  When I had to reinstall everything on my computer I decided to try Kubuntu instead.  I like it more.  Kubuntu uses something called KDE; Ubuntu uses Gnome instead.  There are a lot of programs that were designed for KDE, and I've decided I just like it better.  Better layout, better control.

This weekend I was hired to be the official photographer at the wedding of Matt Gilbert and Sarah Harvey. I've known Matt and his family for a long, long time, and I was flattered that they asked me to be their photographer. I took about 1,000 shots, filling about 3.5 gigabytes, and going through six NiMH batteries. It's going to take me a while to go through all the shots, and then I need to set up some sort of online business to accept orders.

Thumbs down?  Nah.  Thumbs wrapped tightly around a wooden baseball bat with a nail sticking out of it, as I carry the Vista CD into a grassy field and beat the shit out of it.

Vista not only won't boot up any more, but it messed up my Linux installation too.  So now I have to reinstall EVERYTHING.  I had a whole list of other reasons why I hate Vista, but they all pale in comparison to this.  No, I didn't mess up.  I know about dual boot, boot loaders, MBR's, partitions, etc.  I've been doing this for eight years.

Yelena and I have watched a lot of movies lately.

Thumbs down.

This is the third spam-related post in a week. But hopefully the last. I've taken Thu's wonderful suggestions, thank you Thu!
