Hope you all are having a good Friday and then of course an awesome weekend. Sorry about the lack of post... we haven't discussed that much in class for me to blog about that without you all falling asleep and well, I really don't think my life is very interesting, thus why my twitter is so inactive, I mean I am not so egotistical that I think you care that I am at PCB Cafe enjoying some pizza or chilling in the Hess hall lobby watching Scrubs on comedy central. Also I'm rather shy and all so I don't talk about myself that much, I'm a total geek anyway. For example i happen to know mr. Bevill's dell is running Ubuntu Linux 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" LTS with compiz (awesome 3d desktop manager, ask him to show it off next class X3), a custom Conky config (that thing with the clock and the weather forecast), and the avant-window-manager (that Mac OS X looking panel thing with all the black icons on it). Encase you are wondering, the 10.04 stands for april 2010 (numbering is done in year.month format, a major release is made every 6 months(that is April(04) and October(10) by the way) with a LTS (long term service) version released about every 2 years and has desktop support for 3 years and server for 5). Umm... I also run Ubuntu (as well as windows 7... now i just have to make this thing run Mac OS X and i will have my near dream computer).
Oh yeah... if you every got any computer questions, just shoot me a comment or an email to jsaffel@utk.edu, or catch me before or after class... my next class is not till 2:30 so i have the time unless i got to study or such.
Oh yeah... UTK rock, Go Vols. BEAT THEM GATORS! There... that should fill up my UT fan quota for the week. Peace out and all that jazz.
Lol that is kind of geeky :b but completely useful knowledge! I wish I knew stuff about computers like that.
ReplyDeleteBack home, one of my friends built his own computer. I was there for the whole construction of it, but I had no idea what anything was (even thought he tried his hardest to explain..bless his heart) so I wasn't allowed to touch anything. I could only watch and ask questions lol.
I am fortunate considering I'm pretty savvy (well, as savvy as I can be) with both Mac and PC. My desktop at home is a Mac OSX and I have a Dell laptop. So I feel pretty special sometimes knowing I know how to work both set-ups :]
Well, I must say that I really enjoyed reading your blog. It is great to know about computers, I am so far behind in what I should know maybe is because I am not crazy about them or perhaps I don't have much time to understand them as good as you, although I am aware that without them we are really in trouble. Computers are certainly very important tool even for children, am sure you know that there are computers for toddler to teach them math and reading. I admire your intelligence and by the way it is funny that you commented on Scott's computer, now I really will like to look at it.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog and I will definetly ask you if I have any questions.
