switch to ubuntu

Wow. Why did I put this off? Got my 500G external hard drive (FAT for now) last week, moved my data over, downloaded Feisty Fawn image, tested it, ran it. KabAAM! Bye Windows!! Oh wait, hello again. As soon as I installed Ubuntu, with no hitches (wireless was already working and my external hard drive, USB and smart card reader were all working) I installed VirtualBox, put XP on it so I could install Adobe CS. I wish there was a way around this. ALAS! Anyway, it works good so who cares?

Already set up an Ubuntu LAMP. Why the resistance? Inertia I suppose. One thought on this whole personal challenge thing…it would be nice to also offer yourself a reward for succeeding – I’ve found I respond much better to encouragement than to punishment…I guess I’m more like a cat than a puppy. Also, a link to how to break a project down into an actionable plan. Personally I already GTD but it would help a lot of folks.

Anyway, off to order external hard-drive…backing up my goodies has been the real hangup.
