Ubuntu

I'm back at work today. Jason's wedding went well on Saturday. I'm glad I went. I got to introduce Roy to a lot of my co-workers and they all enjoyed talking with him. The ceremony was quick and Staci look beautiful in her white gown.

We stayed for the reception, although by the end of it, my back was pretty much wrecked and I had trouble walking. I forgot to take any of my pain medication with me, which made things that much worse.

Roy is off traveling again this week. He's due back on Wednesday, just in time for the son of a friend of ours to get back in town. Will is going to stay with us Wednesday night and all day Thursday until him mother arrives.

I took my netbook home with me over the weekend and ran updates on it last night. There has finally been an update to my Ubuntu kernal which allows my wifi to connect to the home network. Prior to this update, it couldn't authenticate through our home router. Now I can switch over to Ubuntu full time on the netbook instead of having to run Windows XP on the home network.

Last weekend, I ordered a new case for my G10 through Amazon. I ended up ordering from one of their 3^rd party sellers who had the case, as well as a new battery for the same price that Amazon was selling the case only for. I figured the battery would be from a 3^rd party manufacturer, but when I got it this weekend, I found that the included battery was from Canon. Normally, the battery alone sells for more than the case does. It turned out to be a great bonus deal for me.

Over this past weekend, I found a great little program from a company called Flexibits. It's a preference pane plug in for OSX that allows you to setup actions for up to 4 different cameras that you connect to your Mac. Plugging in each camera can trigger a different program to start. The preference pane is called Cameras.

I know I've not been good about updating on a regular basis. I do have a couple of ideas for articles for the site, but I just haven't been disciplined enough to sit down and write them. I hope to get to some of them soon. In the meantime, you may begin to see some short posts about various websites and products that catch my eye. You can also follow me on Twitter at @greghavican.
