Moving Time

Finally time to pack things up and ship them out. Also means I'm gonna have a lot of profiles to update with a new address

Bored Today

Think I may sit down and start randomly joining Minecraft servers.

It's either that or work on getting Linux Mint set up on this laptop. Hopefully a pain free process, should be if it is based off of Ubuntu. Last distro I tried that wasn't Ubuntu was Arch and I never could get it to install properly. Probably a configuration error somewhere.

Time to load up Virtualbox and do a test run on the install process before I dive in. Oh, and I better not forget to bring my towel.

Android Quick Tip

For those of you with a rooted Android phone, you should look into getting yourself set with custom MTD partitions. I just finished editing my system and cache partitions to double the amount of space I have available for storing apps and their settings.

Take a look here for the downloads and information.

To prevent yourself from dealing with the headache of the Market not downloading apps, set your cache partition to 18 and make sure you download at least version 1.5.8 of Firerat's tool.

Unity 3D (Why I Am Jumping Ship)

Ubuntu has been my distro of choice for Linux for many years now, but I may be jumping ship with the prevelence of Unity that has replaced GNOME. Unity 3D creates dead zones on my screen where I can't click in that area, and Unity 2D isn't all that appealing.

For the moment I am just using the "Classic Desktop" login which loads up GNOME, but how many more releases will have this option? I am hoping that a new variant of Ubuntu pops up that ships with GNOME as the default again like Kubuntu ships with KDE or Xubuntu ships with XFCE.

Another viable option is to look at another distro based off of Ubuntu, Linux Mint. Been wanting to try it out anyway and this gives me enough reason to make the jump.
