How I did it
How to install Linux
It took me
2 weeks
It made me
oh-so-smug

How I did it: I got rid of all the old clunky peripherals that were stopping me from upgrading (notably the ADSL USB modem), and replaced them with a free ADSL Wi-Fi modem with a new service provider.  With new hardware, the computer was finally free from Windows-only device drivers!At the same time, I learned how to use VirtualBox for another project -- you can run a Linux computer *inside* your windows machine (and vice versa). Read how I did it…

learn to dance
Started ballroom classes eight months ago. 6 months ago

The class covers a little bit of many different dances: Quickstep, Waltz, Rock, Salsa, Chacha, Paso Doble. We’ll be finishing the year with Tango and Samba.

We don’t go very far beyond the basic steps with a couple of simple variations, but it’s quite nice to be able to get on the dance floor!

go to a white party (read all 2 entries…)
At a wedding, if you can believe! 6 months ago

At a very non-traditional wedding, the happy couple decided to subvert the idea of the “white wedding” to include all the invitees—a beautiful and meaningful way to celebrate together.

keep a food diary (read all 3 entries…)
Done with the food diary! 18 months ago

Well, I’ve kept it up for about a hundred days, using two websites (FitDay and Sparkpeople).

FitDay is oriented towards good and detailed nutritional reports, and SparkPeople is oriented towards weight loss community and support. SparkPeople is a bit more useful for entering data, but FitDay’s food inventory seems to match my habits a bit better.

In general, I’ve learned quite a bit about the nutritional content of what I eat and portion sizes. It’s funny that forcing yourself to write things down makes you think twice about what you’re eating every day… but now I’m done.
