…the Advantages of Having a Blog

This blog really came into its own recently. After putting Jaunty on my new old computer, I was left with a very vanilla Ubuntu install. For the most part, I knew what packages I wanted, and where I wanted my panels, and so forth, but I’d completely forgotten stuff like getting the text on my panels to be white, or how to get ViGedit. Yes, I could’ve Googled around for a while, but instead I just got the instructions right off this blog (that would be the panel here and ViGedit here). Five minutes, problem solved.

I know it’s not really that big of a deal, but it’s nice when the work I put into something starts reciprocating (I’ll be happy if the ads cover the cost of the domain name. Very happy).

In other news, I’ve started a 20-page research paper about ReactOS, AROS, Haiku, FreeDOS and MenuetOS. Expect it to be done next year. I’ll keep you posted though.
