I got my new laptop today!! It’s awesome - I installed Ubuntu very easily on it, and Beryl using a second monitor on the HDMI port even works without much tweaking (just enabling TwinView with the restricted nVidia driver):
I made an Ubuntu Wiki Page on the matter. All the information about what works and doesn’t is on there.

I think I’ve decided what my next laptop will be. I’m considering a Z35FM with a T7600 processor. The problem it is would cost over $1500 said and done right now, and I want to spend more like $1200 maximum. Time to play the waiting game.

Well, there’s a new ruby website in the works. Someone spilled the proverbial beans.
Oooooh… Awesome. Also, you can get Ubuntu Stickers:
Flippin’ Sweet! Get your next laptop here!
Hmm. In other news, I changed the name of my blog from Porkchop Sandwiches to Relentless Pineapple. I have big plans. I posted my resume all over the place today. You can find it here, or in text form. I decided to do it in RDoc because I wanted an HTML version and a Text version, and I can do that easily this way.

Happy Birthday Me! Well, I think it’s settled:
[03:25am|hardwarehank> #8ball should I buy a new laptop with my BDay $$?
[03:25am|rufis/#modzer0 shakes the magic 8-ball... all signs point to yes
[03:25am|hardwarehank> then it is done
Oh alas, the hinge is tormenting me. I think I must buy another laptop soon. But should I do it before OSCON? I don’t know!!

Well, ever since I inherited Kent’s broken VAIO and since my laptop’s hinges are breaking, I’ve decided that at some point in the near future I’ll need a new laptop, and a barebones one at that. I think I found one today:
This laptop has great reviews, works well in Linux, and supports the CPU/RAM I have lying around. Now I just need to sell the remnants of Kent’s laptop on eBay.
I'm a computer programmer from Ellicott City, MD.
I go to OSCON every year, write random code, and blag about it here.
I enjoy cooking,
reviewing beer, hiking, kayaking, and watching movies and television shows.
