Ubuntu

29 October 2006 by kristarella

On Friday the new versions of Ubuntu and their related projects came out. So on Saturday Hubby and I went to task updating to Edgy Eft, but instead of installing Kubuntu we decided this time to go for Ubuntu.

27 September 2006 by kristarella

Whenever someone asks me what I do and I tell them that I’m taking a break from uni this semester and working three days a week I always feel like they’re judging me. Sometimes they say “That’s it?” Like they think I’m lazy. Hello! I’m taking a break from uni. That sort of means that […]

27 December 2005 by kristarella

Oh my goodness! My morning was eaten up by capitalism, laziness and a really bad idea. I will explain in the reverse order… Bad idea Flash animation! Damn that Macromedia!

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
