A month ago I finished a big project, and rewarded myself with a new SSD for my aging laptop. It's a little extravagant, but I get to humor myself that way. Imagine the over-kill of a 6gb transfer speed idled down to a 1.5gb controller. Fear not, this drive will me moving to the next laptop too!
Like anything in life it was ups and downs today with the new operating system. There was no chance to use during work today, but afterwards, I took some time to get the docking station and huge monitor working. It actually worked for a while, but in the end, I could not get it to dock and undock with the big monitor on my desk at work.
The ups- bluetooth support in Ubuntu far exceeds XP! It just worked right out of the box, no new drivers to install, no updates - something that my XP configuration is still dealing with, and still not working right.
Installed a new hard drive over the weekend, and added Ubuntu to my laptop. This has been in the plans for a long time, but this weekend I finally got the time to get it done! So much faster than XP, and running a 64 bit environment now. Maybe now I can keep up with the blogging?
