Do you want to know why I'm a nerd? I'll tell you why! Because I'm excited that Fedora Core 3 has been released. That's an upgrade to the version of Linux that I use. I love upgrades, as I mentioned before when talking about Trillian. It's like getting something new, but still the same old thing. You get to have improvements on what you're using and these improvements are usually pretty exciting. You can use bit torrent to get it by going here -> http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/. If you don't know what bit torrent is, you're missing out! Basically it's a form of peer to peer filesharing where the file you download is initiated by a link on a webpage instead of searching for it. It's pretty interesting stuff - also, to ensure that the file is always there, there are sometimes computers which are servers functioning as always connected peers. If you don't want to be technological, use the mirrors: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html
And navigate to Fedora Core 3 or FC3. It's supposed to introduce a LOT of new fixes and cool stuff. So go check it out!
I'm also excited because I just got an awesome Logitech Keyboard with a dozen or so programmable keys on the keyboard. I've been wanting one for quite some time so that I can control my volume, tracks, etc. I really like it a lot.
Also in my life: I'm finally done with my business plan and, although it got stressful near the end, it was a lot of fun. I wouldn't mind actually pursuing that business.
Tomorrow an exam and then 2 more projects to finish plus 2 more exams. On top of all that - a job interview on Friday that I have to fly out to on Thursday.
Four more hours until the download is done...good...I need to get some studying done.....
YAY!
(This is one reason why linux is more fun than Win - there are only Windows updates every 3 or more years and they cost $$$$)
