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!  

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?
