New Computer, New Blog

So my computer broke, so I couldn’t use it over the weekend. It couldn’t get fixed, so I went searching for one. I finally came across the ASUS K52F and got it from Best Buy. It works much better than before.

I’m also excited for summer! That includes my birthday and a vacation!

Also, for various reasons, I am switching my blog service. My blog will now be located at http://gotechnickal.blogspot.com/. Please update your bookmarks!

Busy Week

Sorry for not posting, last week was busy…

So I’ve finally gave up on that Philadelphia video. It just took too long.

Last week was the spring fair. I’ve been scared of it in the past years but I decided to face my fears. It’s an attraction ride called the human whirl. It gets really scary when they drag you up in the air.

Here is an interesting video created by open-source software. You can’t believe how beautiful the Linux operating system and open software can make multimedia. Even Pixar uses Linux…

My sister turned six!

This is a special announcement, my sister turned six today! My female sibling also thanked my for my present. We had lemon meringue pie. I love pie, but sorry, that flavor is not my favorite :(.  She is already starting to grow up. I wonder how she’ll like first grade…

Tomorrow is the Philadelphia trip! Be prepared for a story tomorrow night! I’m also planning on posting a video…

New Digs

I am using Midori and Postler again. They are working fine now. This afternoon I have to pick up my aunt from the airport. It’s going to take a long time 😦

But the main thing I wanted to show you was this article! Great idea, I will support it 🙂

I just got my programming books and I’m starting to read them. I’m also excited to go camping with my dad this weekend. It’s going to be fun! 🙂

It’s almost the end of the week 😀 and tomorrow’s mary’s birthday 🙂

Today I went to North Bethesda on a mini field trip with my school, even though I’m not going there next year. Oh well, it was that or sit in the office for an hour :(. And I got lost partway through :|.

On Friday I will be going on a trip to Philadelphia to learn about colonial America. After school I played Mario Kart Wii and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door with my friend Michael. It lasted long, and we had to go to the store after :(.

My first Linux review is out. Watch it below 🙂

Video is on the way!

To kind of explain what Linux is, you have to explain what an operating system is. And the thing about an operating system is that you’re never ever supposed to see it. Because nobody really uses an operating system; people use programs on their computer. And the only mission in life of an operating system is to help those programs run. So an operating system never does anything on its own; it’s only waiting for the programs to ask for certain resources, or ask for a certain file on the disk, or ask to connect to the outside world. And then the operating system steps in and tries to make it easy for people to write programs. ~ Linus Torvalds, Linux kernel author

I had a service club party at school. I played ring toss, got my fortune told, and got a mouse painted on my cheek.

Check out my Linux page if you haven’t already 😉

And I’m switching to Ubuntu because Fedora stinks. Have faster blog posts next time!
😀

I’m getting some programming books to help me too. I hope you had a great Tuesday and have a good Wednesday!

Yesterday

Sorry for not posting again, painful system upgrade :(.

And now I’ve installed Fedora GNU/Linux. It’s kinda hard to get working but I’ll get the hang of it. Expect a video tonight :).

Yesterday I played Mario Kart with my dad. It was fun, but tricky.

I was stuck outside for the second half of the day :(. And tomorrow’s a busy day :(. So I might not get to post until Wednesday.

I’m continuing using Firefox, but if that doesn’t work, my cousin recommends Chrome :).

Finally, tomorrow I have no math! 😀

Yeah, I might just label posts by date, because I can’t think of a decent title for each and every one of them.

Today I had a friend over, and we played Wii Sports Resort, but sometimes I lost interest and wasn’t paying attention. The main game my friend was playing was Swordplay “Showdown”, where you have to fight a lot of enemies then a boss. You can’t heal once you get hurt, so three hits and it’s game over.

I also was jumping back and forth from Midori to Firefox as my default browser. Midori is made by a couple of German developers. It’s supposed to be light and fast, and integrate with my desktop, but it crashes a lot on advanced websites. Firefox is made by Mozilla, a much larger non-profit organization. It works fine on lots of computers, so I’m going with that.

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day! I made her something special, but I’m not telling, because my mom might be reading this right now!
