Yesterday while at work I decided to upgrade to the latest Ubuntu release 9.10. The upgrade went pretty smooth and I have no complaints this far with it. I might actually do a clean install down the road to get the new filesystem and some other little features of it.

Erika’s laptop on the other hand is not taking the update well at all. Video is very slow and the touchpad decided to stop working. After messing around with it a little I have decided to just backup her home dir and do a clean install. If it still has issues once I test out the live cd for 9.10 I will just go back to 9.04 on her laptop for now. I am just glad she only has a 3gig home dir. :)

Recently I ordered a replacement keyboard for Erika’s old laptop a dell 250N. Since my Nanna had been thinking about getting a computer and trying out the internet I figured it would be a good start to see if should would actually want to put money into a computer. So I signed her up for some DSL thorough work and hooked her up with a router.

Issue one was trying to teach her how to use gmail, she is getting it and actually it is not going as bad as one would expect.

Issue two was a the fact most the plugs in here house do not have grounds. The plug I finally picked to hook up the router and modem on (do to phone jack location) already had a three way splitter on it. Off to get a power bar… Next her cordless phone was older than all hell and didn’t even say a freq it ran on. This obviously created hell with the router. So a cordless phone later and she was up and running. I thought having to make her use a new cordless phone would be over kill and just make her throw in the towel, but I think the new phone was pretty simple to her after the computer lesson. ;)

In other news I have setup the old forum.sociallysour.org. No real reason other than I found the final copy of it when it was taken down and wanted to see how hard it would be to install and updated to the latest version of phpBB. It is seeing some low usage right now from the original crew and a few new members.

Quick job creating a background while listen to some nirvana.
