The last books I bought I think were some health and safety reference books I ordered on-line. The ordering was done on a German web page and they just sent the books and invoiced me in Euros. I wasn't even sure I had read the web order page correctly because my German is very weak. I got the books in the mail a few weeks ago and just read some more of one tonight after getting home from work at school. I finally after about two days of trying, a few weeks ago was able to afford to buy a money order in Euros from my bank and mail it to the German publisher. This money really comes from my union who give me money every school term for doing this health and safety representative work at the campus. The latest magazine I bought I bought today and it is about Linux computers.
I listened to a business week podcast earlier on Wednesday. It was about Second Life and money making in on-line gaming. I tried Second life for about 15 minutes just now. I made one friend who was logged on for the first time. She had cool clothes and some fast athletic moves. We chatted a little and then added each other as friends. It was my second time logging in. It was sort of uplifting. But am I really to be defined as a second life player?
I am a bohemian and qualify for this by using cigarettes and coffee as drugs to obtain certain states of mind. I do not use illegal drugs or alcohol.
You have to know that this author Chris Hables Gray wrote a book called Cyborg Citizen. This is also where the inspiration for this web site came from. I borrowed one of his recent books a couple of weeks ago. Here is the cite Gray, Chris Hables. Peace, War, and Computers (New York: Routledge, 2005).
At the moment my mood is totally wrapped up in a hockey game where Ottawa lost and is out for the season. I am my TV. It is a very hyped mood after watching a game and I have just been in two fast talking conversations at the corner store and on the walk home. I thought earlier that hockey does not use women as sex objects like the cheerleaders in football. You might call hockey cleaner because of that although it is certainly a violent sport.
I am just going to burn the 5 CD's for Fedora core 5. I seem to remember Annie Hall the character Diane Keaton played wore a Fedora and started a bit of a fashion trend amongst women I knew at the time of that film Annie Hall. So would gender have an effect on Fedora core 5?
I attended a green party meeting yesterday and today did some cyber organizing for this part of the green party which is the local part here. Don't mind my obtuse English; it effects no one; mind your own.
I have been working on this laptop for about 6 months now. I first installed Debian 3.0 and got that working but on that install the terminal program, in other words the command line could not do edit menu functions. So I had to install a more recent version of Debian. For this I needed a larger hard drive. I spent about 40 dollars buying a used 6 GB drive which turned out to be a bit wonky so I used a 3.2 GB drive I had taken out of an original iBook. In the last two days I finally installed Debian 3.1 and just last night installed R and tested it out with some R code from a school assignment from last winter 2005. After changing some directory paths to fit linux directory structures, and where I had copied the school course folder too, I was successful running R and getting one graphic. So now I am ready to write my code for my talk on R and can run it in Linux on this pentium 1 laptop and even then project this at a meeting. I am my code.
Have a good May day. I am heading out to a picket line today.
