Operating Systems

Ok everyone!!!

I need some idea's! So! Tell me why you use the Operating system you use! Do you use Windows? OS X? Linux? and why? Did you grow up on it and never felt like branching out? what would make you consider a different OS?


Personally, I use Windows 7 (Ultimate edition) because I got it through my school and I consider it to quite possibly be the best operating system that Microsoft has put out. The visual's are great and it was really easy to learn. The "widget" system that Microsoft implemented in Vista is really useful too! I also love to custom build PC's which kind of narrows my choice of OS's down.

I loved Vista which is what I used before Windows 7 (I know, I have always been one of the few that stuck up for Vista, It really was a good OS, people just didn't like that it demanded better computers). I started using it right about when the first service pack came out.


I also use Linux Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop, which has helped it run faster (XP Media Center was bogging it Wwwaaayyy down). It has some very nice features like TONS of free programs, most of which are easily accessible through the software manager. It also has some really nice effects. And, it is a whole lot easier to use than some of the older versions of Linux.

Tests: Updated!

I gota say. I get a little suspicious when professors give you a list of possible questions on the test. Especially when that list is exactly the number of questions that will be on the test. You never can quite tell if they will be the real questions, therefore worthy of studying, or just something that they have put up to throw you for a little spin :)

Oh well, I suppose it will be helpful somehow..... I hope.

Update:
Woot! Fortunatly, This professor was awesome and the list of questions he handed out were really helpful!!!!!

Finally! Some Android Love!


I love android, so I just had to post this. Yes, I realize half of you dont know what this means and the rest dont care, but I think its great! Android is a great OS and I hope google continues to do a smashingly good job with the next one!

I just gota say.

While I'm a huge Microsoft fan, Exchange is just really annoying. Getting support for exchange on my Ubuntu laptop is just really difficult. I suppose I should have used 64-bit, but this laptop is so horrible, I figured I would never need more than 32-bit. Ggggrrr. I WANA TRY A MAC! :( just cant afford to buy one to try lol

Yep, I told you there would be a lot of these :D

So, isnt it funny how you can be sitting, not doing much of anything, just chillin, and BOOM! the whole world is trying to get in touch with you, you now have fifty million emails to answer/write, 20 text messages, phone calls, EVERYTHING! and then, after a few minutes......Nothing. Back to just sitting, chillin, livin the life, drinking some prune juice.

welp. I gota actually start doing homework :) I have kinda been putting it off.......:D yea, im good at that.

Random Note

There will be a lot of random notes :D

Its so funny watching all my friends do there facebooking! lol, I'm not sure why, they just keep me happy sometimes :D

Thank you Jesus for good friends!

E-mail

Just a quick note, I really should be doing homework.

So, I got an email today, and it made me think.

Isnt it funny how people write the way they talk? I mean, some times you will get an email, or text message, or some kind of written message and you can just hear that person saying (in your head) what they sent you in that message. I laugh at it sometimes, but then I start to wonder. Do I do that? lol, It just isnt the same when I'm writing an email, I can tell what I sound like. So, for those of you that will probably never read this, Do I? what do I sound like when you get a message from me? Has anyone other than myself even though of this?

All for now. Peace out!

So, Here she goes!

First real post. WOOT!

Actually. For those that will probably never see this blog, and for myself, so that I don't forget; I am going to basically write a question. Perhaps sometime, I'll come back and be able to answer it.


So, here goes.....

Was driving to work this afternoon. Emergency stuff....you know the drill. As usual, there was a "home-less" man at one of the major intersections. Now, normally I don't pay these kind of people much attention. And I did not really do any different this time. However, I noticed that his sign had a bible verse on it. Luke 2:28 I think, not sure. Well, that set me to thinking. I started remembering seeing other "bum's" signs and it seems like, most of the time, they all have "God Bless You" or a bible verse. Always something related to God. But at the same time, I'm sure most of these people were not Christians and probably most of them have no desire for anything religious. This also got me to thinking. We as humans, kind of just KNOW that there is a God. For the most part anyway. But, most people reject Him or are never told enough about Him. For some folks, all they know about God is what they hear in cursing. But yet, when we fall into hard times, we "fall back on" God. He becomes our "poster child". We use Him for our own selfish purposes. Or, we blame God for a catastrophe (aka: a hurricane that wipes out several city's). But when life is good, we got gas in the car, food in the fridge, and a roof over our heads, well.....God just isn't important. Why? Why cant we thank God for every situation He puts us in? He is the only one that can truly lift us out of any low spot we might be in.


Well, that's bout all I can think of right now.
