Well after a normal morning of class and a non-eventful afternoon I ended up where I always do about this time of day…DIGG. Stumbling across an article about a man moving from Windows Vista to Ubuntu 7.10.

[What everyone should do.]

Pure Genius! I simply had forgotten that Ubuntu released a new version recently. And since I haven’t played with Linux in a while, I found this idea very appealing. I was just perusing some of the comments people said. You had your classic Windows hater that talked about how crappy Vista was. And then of course, unfortunately you had your mislead Windows lover. I wish there were words strong enough to express my HATE for Windows Vista. I was one of the few who dropped 250 opening week for Vista Ultimate. Apart from finding out that Santa and the Easter Bunny were a hoax. This was one of the most disappointing events in my life.

I have been using Vista since its release and at first was very excited about all the “new” features. The cool new start bar and the flashy colors, the way it utilizes my system for once taking advantage of my decent processor and filled ram slots. Au contraire, it turns out all these things could not prevent my eventual dissatisfaction with the product. At this point I would encourage everyone to…
1.Stay with XP
2.Move to
A. Apple
B. Linux
C. DOS

At this point in the blog I would like to provide you with the link to 7.1

[Ubuntu 7.1]

For Gods sake, stay away from Vista. I’m signing off.

Cheers.

As a college student, I have found there is a lot of note taking. With 18 credit hours, I have a lot of notes, how do I keep sane? I use Google documents. I have found that Google docs is a great way to organize all of my notes, print them out for a hard copy, and share notes with classmates.
Google documents is a word processor and spreadsheet maker that is modeled after the Microsoft office sweet. It has the ability to export documents as Rich text format, word document, HTML, PDF and many other formats, Spell check is built in, you also have the ability to format your text however you want it. You can use bullets to separate notes for class. You can also double space text for reports and papers that need to be done.
Google docs is great for researching topics for school simply because you have your word processor in one tab and all of your web pages in the other so you can flip back and forth quickly. The spell check is very useful for typing your home work and having the correct spelling before you turn it in.
Share and Publish. These two options are great for bloggers like me and the share option is cool because you can send your notes to class mates and they can add to your notes or you can just set the permissions to allow them to view them and nothing more. I take 4 online classes and we use a tool called angel to submit all of my class work. I'm not always at the same computer, Google docs makes it easy to access my notes for class because they are saved online so all you have to do is log on and boom you have all of your notes, and all of your homework and you can also keep track of all of your grades using the spreadsheet function and keep up to date with all of your classes,

I hope more people realize how much time and hassle google docs saves. This post is just a small sampling of what Google docs can do, if you want to experience Google documents go create an account and your ready to go. Did I mention this is free?

Just found a new website. It is called multiply. Everyone should go and sign up for a free account right now. After you do that you can click search in the top right and then change what you are searching for to music in a little dropdown box and then bammmm it searches the internet for whatever song it is you want. I'm signing off.
