Don’t believe the rumors, I am not dead. Although my blog certainly is.
I’ve been making and configuring my new computer for a week or so now, and I think I’ve gotten it to a point where I am happy with it.
In case you’re curious, the new comp is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ on a M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, with 2GB of OCZ DDR2 800 RAM. It also has a GeForce 7600GT video card, and a 150GB raptor HDD.
So far I’ve installed Kubuntu (64bit). I had Fedora Core 5 and Windows XP Pro (both 64bit), but neither of those were working out for me, so they’re history. I’ll get around to installing a 32bit windows eventually, but not any time soon. I need to get myself acquainted with Kubuntu.
So far my experience with Kubuntu has been great, but the same problems that plague most 64bit operating systems are giving me a bit of trouble as well. Simple things, like flash, don’t have a 64 bit version. There are workarounds, but I haven’t had the time yet.
Speaking of not having time, I’ve been wishing I could work on somjuan.com for weeks now. Midterms prevented that, but since I’m now on a stable computer, and school should be easing up a bit, I can hope to get some stuff done.
Also, I’m sorry, but no music bite for this post. Maybe when I get flash installed, I’ll edit one in.
