Sigh all my projects and not only backing up, but collapsing upon each other creating a blackhole :-S

 Writing letters fail, sorting receipts fail, hardware store run fail, swimming pool fail, breakfast, lunch & dinner fail (and i'm sitting in a McDonalds, EPIC!) well a picture is a worth a 1000 words fail;

Slept til noon, and the Social Security office of course closed at 12pm (high noon) Strike One!

     Had like 4 hours worth of yahoo password issues, turns out it didn’t recognize my laptop which I've had for like 4 to 6 months now.  Okay then.  Works just fine when I finally switched to Firefox.  I didn’t use Firefox to begin with' cuase I thought I'd have issues with being recognized.  Man can't win for losing ya' know?  So I couldn't watch the videos I promised work I'd watch.  Didn’t get my OSHA certification.  I did at least get signed up for the site.  Hopefully better luck tomorrow on this gig.   Strike two.

     Fail at Farmville.  How do you fail at an open play game?  By not being able to reply to requests and not being able to cross connect your devices and accounts.  Whaaaaah!  Lucy!  Why?!?!  Strike three I'm out of there! 

Finally got one project finished.  Downloaded all the .pdfs  for Capital Metro into one folder so I can put them on my Android devices.  I generally read them using the Bluefire app, which is now also available for Desktops. It's also the app I use to read my ebooks.  Sadly It doesn't do .mobi, but I dont have too many of those.

Okay, tomorrow is an exciting day of boring videos and formatting SD cards (the electronic equivalent of watching paint dry) and resetting phones.  I think I see myself sleeping late again lolz

Jemie's New Blog

...meh, for now, just a daily diary of the lame things I'm doing, or trying to do, or maybe even successfully completed.  I rolled into Labor Ready @ 7 or 8, picked up a gig unloading a 53 foot semi-truck and then assembling said furniture inside model homes.  Got to the job site about 9-9:30lasted to about 7pm. 

About 8:30pm I went to the McDonalds near Koenig and created this blog.  I meant to do it yesterday, but the installation and update on Derrick's kids Ubuntu Laptops ran into difficulties.   Also I wanted to do Word Press, but ultimately that was a fail, had been a fail for months, don't know why I didn't give up sooner.  Oh yeah, I hate Google's lack of privacy.  Yet Google works, here I am.

I ordered a parfait, and side salad and chicken sandwich minus bun, mayo, lettuce and well everything LOLz.  Basically I cut it up to put in the side salad.  It is about as healthy as I can figure out how to eat here without paying through the nose, which is important, 'cause I eat here almost everyday.  I got a water instead of $1 ice tea, but we will see how long my will power lasts...

I am giving the Ubuntu Laptop a second try and it seems to be kicking butt this time. After the basic updates I plan to add qBittorrent (as uTorrent doesn't play well with this version of Edubuntu), PlayOnLinux (a front end for WINE), WINE itself.... Maybe that is all.  At some point I really need to send it off right?  ha ha ha!  Let's see, instead of Microsoft Office 2010, Libre Office is pre-installed, although Lately I have been enjoying Kingsoft Office, now known as WPS Office (available for Android OSes).  Edbuntu comes with educational games, most importantly a typing tutor.  If nothing else I hope they learn to use a keyboard to the fullest even if it's just to facebook.

What are the first programs YOU install after Windows takes a crap on you?  I usually do the device drivers for my specialized hardware, then some sort of MP3 player, then MS Office, burning/ripping software, and I save games for last unless one is particularly difficult to wedge in there right causing me to have to fresh reinstall yet again.   See you tomorrow.
