A small victory

Someday I will succeed in installing something that isn't Ubuntu-derived on my netbook. For now, I've switched over to Peppermint OS in the hopes that it would be kinder to my little processor than the latest Ubuntu, which runs pretty hot and may have a power consumption bug. Seems fast, but that could just be an artifact of wiping clean a very small hard drive and starting from scratch. (Yes I made a backup.) At any rate, I have YouTube back!

The scroll bars are extremely ugly. That ought to be changeable.

Why am I sick? UGH. I think in the last year I have only been sick when I had something to look forward to that required not being sick.

A small defeat!

I slept for a while and woke up feeling lightheaded and confused as one does when one is sick and takes an epic afternoon nap and then I knocked my laptop to the floor, breaking the power cord.

:(

The trouble is, I want to replace the computer anyway, but not for a few months -- there's supposed to be a better netbook processor coming out soonish. But it doesn't make sense to spend $50 getting a new power cord for a computer that I'm looking to replace as soon as possible, either.

In the larger scheme of things, "Two computers or one?" is not a huge problem to have, but in my defense, having a laptop means I can type while sitting on my bed, which is beside the air conditioner, which is a lot more comfortable.
