Moved...

I've moved my blogging to my CMS, here.

Most of the Mythosa site is moving there, though it'll be awhile before it's done. I'm not sure how I'm going to archive what I have here. For now, it'll sit here until I figure out what to do with it (i.e.; leave it or migrate everything to the CMS).

Giving up on Ubuntu, Going Back to Windows

On my netbook, that is. I have no intention of returning to Windows on my desktop :)

I'd like to keep running Ubuntu on my netbook, but today was the last straw, when an update hosed my sound again. I know sound is an issue with Ubuntu on the netbook, but I was able to get it working. A couple of updates (or more; I wasn't paying close enough attention) and it was gone again. I'm tried of screwing around with getting Ubuntu to work decently on my HP Mini. Not to mention, XP (the original installation, which I left on) runs much more zippier than the Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04, which is a little odd. Though truth be told, Ubuntu 8.10 - plain old desktop version - worked great. 9.04 desktop worked OK, but the netbook remix actually seemed to perform worse.

So, for now, it's back to Windows on the netbook. We'll see how that goes. I am sticking with cross-platform apps as much as possible (Notecase, Adobe Reader, OpenOffice), so I can maintain compatibility with my desktop apps. Not sure what I'll do in place of Tomboy or Exaile...
