Hello fellow deviants I hope everyone is doing well.
Sorry I have been so inactive but I just have been
bored with computers lately and really only get on
once a day or so to check email and whatnot.

The reason I'm tired of messing with computers is
I have quit learning new things. However I have
started a new little project building a small Linux box.
It's probably grammatically incorrect to start a sentence
with the word however but I did it oh yes I did.

The whole computer with be about 7 inches by 7 inches.
I will mount the box on the back of an LCD monitor.
Right now I am considering what distribution I will use.
I like Puppy Linux a lot and want to use it but I could never
get the display drivers going and always was stuck using it
with versa and having a small resolution.

Other than that not a whole lot to report of much interest.
I'm just here surrounded by the cold and snow. I hate
winter. OK that's all just letting you know I'm alive more
or less in case anyone cares. :headbang:

Well today marks my third year on dA, hard to believe.

Thanks to everyone that makes it fun! My future plans

for dA will be to clean up past deviations and improve

them this summer.

So whats new with me? Well I have some medical

issues that have made things a little rough on the

Jimster, but other than that...I can't complain. I had my

Bike fixed in the fall so I plan on doing a lot of biking this

summer. In the last few months Ive lost a lot of weight,

only thing I really did different was I stopped drinking pop

and drank tons of water.

My little project lately has been tweaking my netbook.

I bought it a couple years ago to take with me when I

was taking some college classes. I ended up rarely

taking it and hardly even used the thing until last month.

It's an Acer Aspire One; it came with XP, 1 gb RAM. So

far I have installed Windows 7 Home and was surprised

at how good it runs, even Aero works. Then I maxed out

the RAM to 1.5 gb and bought a 12 cell battery for it.

With the new battery it runs 9-10 hours with heavy use

easy. Next I want to add a 500 gb hard drive and a

touch screen. Yeah it’s silly to supe up a netbook, but

it amuses me.

Also a couple weeks ago I got back in contact with my

best friend from middle school who moved away in

8th grade, so that was cool. Well I'm running out of

things to say so have a good weekend.
