Dual boot dilema

Soooooo..... It turns out the charting features of OpenOffice calc aren't quite as good as those in Excel. So what, buttons? No, it means the poor man's quicken won't be very cool. That begs the question is Windows really the answer (sorta kinda). I like Dapper but it is causing some problems, like every update requires more work because it breaks the OpenGL for my video card. I don't really want to have Windows again because I like this whole linux bit, but I like being able to do stuff without having to work too hard or it breaking. Maybe I'll put xubuntu on the IBM and just use that. Such difficult decisions to make. The next post might just be from a windows version of firefox.

Champions x 2

They did it. Even with jackass Zidane throwing his head around, they did it. Any surprisingly, so did I. The Italians winning the World Cup not only made me happy for that reason but they also helped me win my pick'em group. How that happened I'm not sure but I'll take it. I was glad to see Zidane leave the game. All the commentators could talk about was how great he was this and how great he was that. Not so great when you headbutt someone like that. I'm glad Italy won for many reasons, not just because it is a shame to lose to the French in anything. This is the perfect seque into my learning to speak Italian. I'll keep you posted on how that goes. Ciao.

Clean counters are the tool of the devil

So it's been a while but it's light out later so I'm occupied. Anyway, I got to go back to Colorado which was fantastic. Not only did I get to play lots of golf with my dad and just hang out with my family but I got to not be in Massachusetts which is a joy unto itself. I realized I have more faithful readers than I realized. Hic Vir Punit (he isn't one of them but that was his latin name) My latin name was Spiritus Spati. If you know what that means without looking it up it either means that you are a super latin nerd, or Hic Vir Punit, Avus Vir or Dr. Capt. Kent. All my dog guilt for leaving Xanja was replaced with dog guilt for getting her back. She had a lovely time with the people who watched her and they loved having her. She enjoyed laying around their backyard, something we don't have. So it's perfect, guilty when I leave guilty when I come home, pure proof she is a female. Once it starts getting darker earlier I'll probably work on my projects, a poor mans quicken for openoffice, a music sorter in perl/xml. Maybe if it is good enough I'll post the quicken somewhere and someone will use it and like it and pay me millions of dollars and then I won't have to work and I can move to Colorado. Probably not. I also have a new line of clothing, it has awesome German Shepherd Dog (did you know that dog is part of the official name? bet you didn't) heads on them, sewed by the best sewer around, ma. Xanja's pooped from the park and so am I so I'll get off this thing, plus it is getting close to be time for Degrassi. Yeah, you heard me. If I had dish it would be Degrassi in HD. Sleepy Xanja says goodnight.
