Almost everything? Hahaha.

When you love someone, you take the good with the bad. Though there might be funkiness like that thing about Evolution as a dependency (which I think is sucky, btw) and that there really are so many *buntu varieties out there, I love using Ubuntu and I haven’t changed distros yet.

I also love the fact that Ubuntu’s name is, well, Ubuntu. Which means humanity in African. And it reminds me that Linux is made by people for people. People who want to make their choices and let others know about the choices they could make, especially when it comes to software freedom.

I might not show up high on the radar of tech bloggers who use Linux and love it and I don’t really have that much community participation these days but still, I try to spread the Ubuntu love whenever I can. Because it’s just so great, if you ask me

• I don’t have to resize the windows in Openbox when I am moving them from one screen to another on extended monitor setup.
• There’s apt as a package manager so most of the software I need is downloadable right away — well, as long as the internet access wherever I am is fairly good.
• I could try recovering data with a Linux live CD!
• If so needed, Linux has fantastic distros to choose from. It could have all the apps you need and even more.
• Linux comes in free dvds, cds and downloads:D And I could just keep sharing them.
• I can choose to switch to another Linux distro and not have much trouble adjusting to it.
• We can has penguin mascot! XD
• There are some great deals in terms of UMPCs now. And they run Linux

I might just be biased but, srsly, I still think that Linux is one of the coolest things I’ve encountered in my life. Along with Pinky:St dolls, poi, Japanese fashion and cooking.

Who said Pinky Street dolls are just about being cute? Rie was with me the whole day today and she will still be with me tomorrow when I listen to sessions on Web 2.0 technologies.

I want to make a custom layout, or tweak an existing one so it’s more personal. I like this cat though. Anyway, I have a list of things to look into:

• Images of cats
• Drawings of people in chibi mode
• Recover my Flickr password
• Look at multiauthor plugins
• Check out Comicpress
• Check out nice color palettes for the layout
• Decide if a bliki/wikiblog is better for multiauthor stuff or not
• Check out how to make avatars for users of the blog. Something LJ user icons.

If you have any suggestions, it would help me out a lot. Or if you want to make me a custom layout, that will be terrific too! Hehehe. *peace!*

Thanks to Rjene, I was able to make this subdomain thing work. I already forgot how to tweak Wordpress… And it’s been quite a while. Anyhow, I needed to give Wordpress its own directory and still have its index page as the index in the directory of the subdomain.

So yeah, this is my new home

I guess that I’d be checking out various things now that I have my own space and domain. Maybe more crafting from me hehehe We’ll see. I really hope to post a whole lot more stuff than before. Next step is a new layout. Maybe some time during the summer you will see a different layout for my blog.

Another thing is that I need to read up on splitting up the feed by category so that if I post a blog entry with the tag “work” it will be aggregated into the company’s planet/rss aggregator. I’d love to work on these this weekend!
