Awesome Yaro

Well, life always throws you for a loop. Things go really well for you and them BAM! You're trying to fix something bad that happened.

Luckily, though, I fixed my problem: A dead DVD-RAM drive that was a little too close to the next Ubuntu release to my liking. A couple weeks and $35 later I have a nice, new drive.

And it's very nice. I haven't burned with it, yet, though I hear from a reliable source (Marupa) that when it gets to burning it sounds like a jet taking off. However, It's very quiet otherwise. I put a nice movie I like (Mrs. Winterbourne. Good movie if you like romantic comedy.) and I didn't even hear it rotate up to speed. I wasn't even sure it was working until I played the DVD in Xine. Then I knew: This is one quiet drive when it comes to reading.

Anyway, life decided to compensate by screwing up a friend's computer thanks to my advice. (Maulisho. Sorry, Maul! D:) But sometimes messing with GRUB just gets that way. She's confident she'll be able to fix it, but I still feel kinda bad about that.

Halloween is coming up, and so is Ubuntu 8.10. I look forward to that.
