Well not actually, just a test to see if SexyBookmarks will work with this, and OH! a picture:

So I thought I would throw this one in here for fun, I love to test.

I know that I like to talk about Ubuntu or Linux in general, and that I personally think that it is a very good system. But I also like the fact that you can run software that will let you run other software inside the OS. Virtual Box is one that I like to use alot, not only is it free and Open Source Software but it is really easy to use and configure.

I wanted to show this picture of Ubuntu running Virtual Box with WindowsXp and a program called ‘Artiseer’ running on that. So here is the photo:

On a whim I took that nerd test again, just to see if it changed. And yep it did….

I am now MORE nerdier (if that’s a word) then before.

Well I have taken a leap and upgraded to Alpha 2 version of Ubuntu. I think that I am moving towards the more testing issue of this operating system. And so far I have not been disappointed. Time to press on and continue with the PHP (yeah).

Well I’m stuck.

I’m trying to learn PHP coding, and I have run into a bit of a dilema.

My login page that is suppose to take me to a user page. But the user page is not coming up at all. I’m not seeing anything. So I’ve been pouring over this stuff to see where i made a mistake. And it’s getting quite hard. Everything looks good but no luck.

OK. Maybe I need a spell check on this IDE software that I am running. All it takes is one word spelled wrong and your ripping your hair out for 3 hours.

Live and learn….

So here I am running Ubuntu again. Not too bad, I am able to di things that I could do before.

So once again I am going to try and run with this for awhile and see how it goes. Hopefully I can run it longer than a couple of weeks.

Keep ya posted…

Well on my way to picking up my daughter from school I figured I would post some resume’s out there. So I did about three of them and basically went about my business.

I had gotten home when my phone rang (it’s got this really cool ring-tone…..anyways). So I answer the phone and it’s a company that fixes re-furbished IT equipment. That’s what I did before I got laid off. And they want me to come in tomorrow for an interview. Which I thought was cool because….

I just sent out the resume right before I went to pick up my daughter.

Wish me luck on this one…

Update on this…

Well they liked the way I was talking and stuff. If I get the job they want me to start out as a consultant, moving my way into the position. They haven’t ever worked on this equipment before and need someone with the know-how to work on these boards.

So I am hoping that I get this. Might hear something today.

I wish I would have started doing this when this first happened to me, but maybe I’ll just pick it up where it starts on the wrong end.

Still looking for a job, I have two more payments on my Unemployment and it doesn’t look like there is an extension on payments for me (of course I will keep my fingers crossed).

I did go to an interview last Friday at a company called Scarab Consulting, though I feel that I totally screwed it big time. Which made me very upset because I know that I could bring so much.

I had another interview a week earlier, but that fell through. I guess that I don’t have what it takes to do tech support. But I will press on.

I took a nerd test, here is my badge:

Of course this does nothing to show how much I like using technology, but meh!

I am going to run a linux system for one month to see if it is comparable to what I do in Windows. This is day one and I am writing this blog entry using a program called drivel. More to come…
