So life's kinda hectic lately. I got a job, at the Boardwalk, working weekends for $7.25 an hour. So I get to drive somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 miles a week. Thats insane. Plus, I go to Castroville almost every Saturday, and most Sundays, too. Jeez. I have $20 in the bank. It costs me more than that to fill up my tank. I have half a tank left. I think I'm going to need to either a) borrow money from the parents, or b) not drive to school, only to work, and to do stuff otherwise, and get a ride from the parents to/from school.

There was an extra Dell at work, so I formatted it and installed Ubuntu Flight 4.

It crusied along nicely, then choked on the kernel. Then it presented me with a choice of 3 kernels, so I chose the bottom one because it had a version number in it.

That seemed to work fine.

Boots into Ubuntu fine! Now I want to update it to the latest release, by Synaptic Package manager doesn't seem to work. So I need to change the repositories that it is looking in to get the updates. Why does it have to be so convoluted!

I have been working on a website for the last week with a new ISP Server (pweb.info) and also been contributing to the forum http://macforum.pweb.info/. Recently we have had a bot run thru the system and destroy *almost* every site that was on the server. This means that the macforums site AND most of everyone else (including pweb's OWN forums) sites had their PHP MySQL Databases erased. Most people did not have backups, or if they did on the server that they used for their site, it was wiped too.
