It is officially released.

Win: gOS. Definitely the most idiot proof and quick booting Linux I’ve played with, and it also looks quite good. Now more than ever, I wish their was Reason for Linux. I mean, Linux at least has drivers for my pro-grade sound card, unlike Vista.

Fail: McDonald’s Cafe Mocha. Too much chocolate (and the wrong kind of chocolate at that,) and not nearly enough coffee. Plus, the cost wasn’t particularly lower than the Starbucks down the street, so it’s not even a decent value buy. In fact, the Mochas from the nearby Costco are vastly superior, and they are only a buck.

Oh, and this:

So far it’s on schedule.

Upgrade/Update/Upload Time

So, my wordpress is upgraded again. Woo.

Meanwhile, my finger was looking bad enough to the doctor today during a check up that I’m back on Keflex, but the stitches were taken out, and I was told to soak it in warm water, and as the doctor expected, the fingernail fell off after soaking it a few times. So, while I’m no longer mummifying the finger in bandages, I still have to take a lot of care, and better still, it turns out that I probably have another 4-8 weeks before the bone’s fully healed. I’m also very “aware” of the finger and injury again. Fun. I hope I don’t bang it into anything.

The upload time is in relation to the music stuff. Basically, the cover art’s stable for Opensource (and very different to the previous rough versions,) as is the track listing. Only question is whether I tag another bonus track to Romance Language. I’ve got a song I’d like to tack on, but I don’t want any one feeling like they got stiffed for buying the old release, so I’ll probably kick it up online in 320kbps mp3 too if do it. Anyway, with in the next week or two it should be completely finalized for real. All the little details are getting done now. If I’m proactive about it, I might even get the CDs in my hand for shipping before the end of this month.

Oh, and I applied to a university. Wish me luck.
