Many of my friends have said I’ve gone to the darkside, that I’ve lost my ways as the computer person they all knew and loved. Some have cursed my name upon their tongues, while others simply resort to throwing rocks at me.

As school draws closer, I decide this year to get a new laptop, and with a new laptop, I decided I wanted to broaden my horizon in the world of computers and OS’s, OSes… Operating Systems. I’ve toyed a little bit with Ubuntu, and considering giving it another go here in a few weeks.

So I figure, why the hell not? Besides, school is buying the laptop, isn’t that money supposed to go towards a learning experience? Now I must wait patiently for my new toy to arrive. I was hoping I would get it before GenCon so I could use it, but it looks like it will arrive while I’m gone or the day after I get back.

So to everyone out there, if you feel you need to expand your knowledge, tell your friends they can buy you the laptop they prefer if they want to judge you! Jerks!
