Thanks Bill, you hump…

Since I decided not to blog about work, I’ve found myself rather lacking in posting topics. Not that there aren’t blog worthy items around the office but what would it mean to you. Now that I think of it, what does this mean to you?

You know, I don’t want to slip into that blogging, death spiral where I only post about how I have nothing to say. Nor do I want to bitch about the minutia of my work life. I mean, who doesn’t have something to complain about?

Can I tell you something? Do we have that sort of relationship where I can trust you with something like I’m about to tell you? Here’s hoping…

I hate Microsoft. When I say hate, I mean I really hate Microsoft. I also suspect that my festering hate might have brought on a mental unbalance. Is unbalance a word? Should I use imbalance like someone who has a minimal grasp of the English language?

Vista is such a POS that it keeps me awake at night. Then I start to hear about the licensing restrictions that come with Vista. Now keep in mind that I have little desire to use Vista because it’s a POS and I don’t know what sort of blunt force trauma it would take to cause me to pay for it. Of course I haven’t paid for Windows since 1998 but that’s a whole other story…

Anyway, I’ve decided that I need to let go and try to get some balance in my computing life. So I installed Ubuntu. It’s simply wonderful! I had my first good nights sleep in months after I exorcised Windows from my home. Nothing but *NIX for me from this point on.

So that’s it. This should really end better. But it never ends well…

Congratulations, we’re proud of you son.

Since I’m a masochist, I run Gentoo at home. But at work, Ubuntu and happy.

I guess that means no more Grand Theft Auto screenshots though, huh? Hmmm, waitasec, if I buy an Xbox to get all the latest PC games, does that mean I even have to run Windows at home anymore… hmmmm…

you know, you could always just blog about how much you miss me. that way, you would have something in common with all of your readers.

and on the bright side, you won’t have to miss me for long…
