Evitez la Degeneration -

« La nation québécoise s'est exprimée et il est maintenant très clair qu'elle ne saurait se contenter d'une reconnaissance purement symbolique. Les Québécois demandent le respect de leur culture. Ils ont clairement rejeté la politique de mépris envers les artistes et les coupures du gouvernement en matière de culture. La nation québécoise existe et cette nation a une langue. Et cette langue, c'est le français. » — Gilles Duceppe

Election Night in Canada

For those of you who didn't see the Rick Mercer Report tonight -> www.rickmercer.com

The polls are closing and results will start pouring in. As far as I was able to understand, this was a Majority campaign. We aren't choosing a new government, only whether we want the Conservatives as Majority or for them to remain a minority. In my opinion they have allot of work to do before I'd be willing to hand over the reins to Prime Minister Harper, completely. As always I voted Bloc, especially this time, as the Bloc seems the only party to hold head to the PM and have an opportunity to block a majority gov. I won't even get into my views of the Liberal party since Prime Minister Chretien left the scene, let's just say they've taken a great party and a great nation and turned it to......Capitaine Dijon will def. not get to be PM, Mr. Layton has good intentions and I wish he was in another party, but Gilles Ducepe is Quebec's only choice, especially considering the recent attacks on culture.

Nudder weekly update!

So it was an interesting week of rediscovery for me,
I installed (as you probably read in older posts) Ubuntu 8.04 lts and it works wonderfully.
I'd forgotten how simple it is to use and the Voice Control really adds a new dimension to computing. I love talking to my computer, at least now it's not weird anymore, it actual y listens.
I installed a new themes called SlicknesS Black which is much easier on my eyes, but the web hasn't caught up ti Linux yet so it makes pages look a little bizarre, but you get used to it after a while. It's also helping with my typing because one of the main feature I like about Linux in the Command Prompt (Terminal)..

Lot's of fun this week!

Fun day discovering Ubuntu and relishing in the Open Source community

WooHoo!
I'd forgotten of of the major advantages of the application libraries.
Isn't great to have thousands of free software at your finger tips.
No more hassles about downloading huge files or BUYING software, simple click and run.
I don't even have to reboot my computer, EVER; for any reason...
It doesn't crash, it doesn't slow down, it doesn't need rebooting, it never gets a virus and, best of all, it runs on ANY computer, running ANY hardware. If your computer is less than 5 yrs old Linux will automatically install them, without prompting. If it can't find a "driver" (they're not call drivers in Linux), sometimes the program will automatically create one based on it's analysis of the hardware components.
