I, for one, welcome our new Google overlords

So, after going through several different iterations of the smartphone revolution, I've gone and got a new phone that should end up proving to be a fun learning experience. I now carry a Droid. The level of freedom that this phone has over the othrer current blackberry offerings (direct access to the GPS, a full $15 a month cheaper for the data plan, and a couple. other things) made my mind up for me. While I probably will miss having the blacberry messemger, I'm sure thee is bound to be a replacement for ir somewhere that will prove to be just as useful.

Finally have things kind'a working

Ok, as you could probably tell from the last post, I was getting a little frustrated by the Windows 7 Starter Edition (should be Windows 7 We'll-Crap-All-Over-Everything-You-Were-Used-To Edition) and was debating about what to do. Well, I got the Ubuntu Netbook Remix installed, it's running, and I'm even posting this little note using the new BloGTK 2.0 from said netbook. I'm actually pretty happy with it so far. I do need to get all of the different hotkeys working again (especially the one to disable the touchpad) but that will come as I get everything up and running like I want. The best part so far, I HAVE MY OWN BACKGROUND on my desktop. Too bad, too. The netbook was poised to be the only windows-based machine I had. Now, the XBox is it. Too bad, really.
