So here I am, 23 years old. I am supposed to get my birthday off from work, but I have decided to take it off tomorrow instead (and get a glorious three day weekend). I will be heading up to Purdue tonight (tomorrow night) to spend some time with my girlfriend. It will be nice to have an extra day off, and next weekend is Labor day weekend, which will be pretty sweet too. 23 years doesn’t seem like anything special… I think most of my birthdays from now on will feel like this. Nothing momentous and my life is going to be pretty static from now on. I will be working and just celebrate my birthday with a few people if anything, and then back to work the next day.
For myself, I ordered an HP mini netbook. Its a super light weight, super under powered, super small little notebook (laptop). I picked it specifically because it comes with a weird Linux distro (rather than waste more money on another millionth XP license) and the RAM is upgradable to 2GB. I am probably going to try and experiment putting OS X on it and see how it feels. If I don’t like it, I will look into Jolicloud or just Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I will probably post about my experience sometime on here…
For my site, (I am actually posting this to the new site, so you guys are going to be reading it in the future =) I am trying to get my old computer stable as a server and am failing at doing so. I will probably eventually try to troubleshoot the problem and try to finish the code for this up and then point my router to the server instead of the old P3 shitbox. I still need to code up a proper gallery system (beyond the scratched together proof of concept I have right now) and put together a proper administrative system, so that I don’t have to manually input my entries like I am doing now… Well, I better sleep soon so that I will be ready to go up and see my awesome girlfriend tomorrow night…
