Wed, 02 Jul 2008 10:57:36 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 en Ubuntu Linux http://www.lizzeh.com/2008/07/02/ubuntu-linux/ http://www.lizzeh.com/2008/07/02/ubuntu-linux/#comments Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:26:22 +0000 Lizzeh http://www.lizzeh.com/?p=113 SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Ubuntu Linux", url: "http://www.lizzeh.com/2008/07/02/ubuntu-linux/" });]]> In the mail today I’ve received a free copy of “Beginning Ubuntu Linux” Third Edition to evaluate!  I’m very excited!  :) I’m going to see if we can get the old “purple beast” computer (the one I installed Fedora on last year) and install Ubuntu 8.04 on it, and work on some projects.  Or maybe find a cheapie pc since the “purple beast” is a bit loud (I think the VGA fan is at fault). Stay tuned ^_^

Hmm almost forgot about my little EEE pc!  I think I’ll try to run Ubuntu EEE on it now.  http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/  I had run into small issues with the battery monitor and some wifi kinks.  We’ll see how this runs and I’ll update later in the week!

Ah yes, this is the next door neighbor’s cat. I do love his company :) He’s very cheeky since he’s very curious and likes to snoop around the house whenever the door is open and he feels like it! But I never mind :) I love the company. He’s so cute!

As you can see I’m having trouble using my computer because he made himself very comfortable. :P

My boyfriend’s mother found some nice raspberries on the raspberry tree :) It’s really cute…

I’m playing with Adobe Illustrator…and my Wacom tablet. It’s lots of fun! I tried a simple logo. You can tell I’m a real n00b. :p :D

xkcd - A webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language - By Randall Munroe

I love this comic, it usually features a smart geek girl with her partner geek boy and funny situations. Like it says, a web comic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language. Check it out :)

This software is awesome!  It lets you stream your media (music, photos, videos) from your mac to your Playstation 3 wirelessly over your network. It’s so cheap, only $20, and fab.  I can’t wait to see how everything sounds with our new sound system (hopefully coming in a few days-a joint birthday present for me and the boyfriend).  It’s simply a plugin in your system preferences.  I highly recommend it! :woot: :D

I need to sketch anything that comes to mind because it leaves my mind quickly throughout the day!

So here are a couple of ideas, I’ll show the progress throughout the days as I go with pictures to go along with the clothing.

That’s about it really, not an exciting post, but we’ll see what happens. :)

I’ve tried wearing it to the gym, but the loose fabric just annoyed me.  So I decided now was a good time to experiment.  What do you think?

Stegosaurus Tank! 

 

I like it!  Here I am modeling the back:

Now that I started simple, I’ll try to make some more designs and post them up as I go.  :D

This is one of my faves. I still need to work on the theme that I plan to release on my professional site. Maybe a list will help me? Eh.
On a good note, I’ve convinced a friend to convert to Wordpress. w00t! =)
