So I've been a good little boy lately. I haven't really indulged in the usual college drinking, fornecating, carefree lifestyle. I am not sure that I think that's a good thing, though.

What I have managed to do, though, is:

• get on top of my grades
• See Kayla a good bit
• Manage my finances (to an extent)
• work a good bit (and get some momentum going on the whole business model thing)
• Play with my gadgets
• Read a good book dilligently.

I must admit: I don't usually toot my own horn. And by toot my horn I mean get a big head. And by get a big head, well.... you figure it out. It feels good to have some small things to brag about. Granted, I'm not curing cancer, but I am learning more about the world and how I can really make some differences.

I went to www.ubuntu.com today to see about putting Linux on NCS's Compaq Armada m700. There I found a community of developers and an otherwise professional outcropping of the Opensource community. I signed up for my Launchpad account and then ordered my free CDs. I'm quite excited.

Also, I'm beginning to see the floor of my room; I didn't know my carpet was that color. It's the small things in life that really do the most sometimes. A few days ago, my HR professor was having a "no good very bad day" sort of day. We were walking towards the elevator, when it opened up like those cool doors in star trek! Not only that, but when we got in the elevator, the 1st floor button had already been pushed. It's not that big of deal, but when it happens, you feel really cool.

That's all for me right now. I'm going to make it a point to ramble on about pointless crap for a good few paragraphs, every now and again.

Enjoy!
