I’m Looking For Something In Red

Yes, its that time again. It is time for another random post. If you don’t like the spontanuity, then please discontinue your reading NOW!!!! If you like the randomness, please continue.

Well, as you have probably have guessed, this post has absolutely nothing to do with the title. It does in a way, as that was the song that iTunes decided it wanted to play when I decided to write the aforementioned blog post, which you are now reading.

I recently decided to just to go ahead and put Linux on the HP. I had asked like last year, and all I ever got was “I don’t care, but what about Jamie?” So it was kind of annoying. Anywho, I decided to got with Gentoo 2005.1. Yeah, that didn’t work out so well. First, I got the second harddrive installed, then I went to press forward with the install, and I couldn’t find the CD’s. So the next day I made a new one. I started to install, got the old partitions deleted, got the new ones the way I wanted. I was installing the filesystems when something failed, and the computer seized up. It did this numerous times. I finally decided to go with a new file system, got that working, and got to actually extracting the OS, when something failed, and once again it seized up.

I then decided to switch around the drives, and try Fedora Core 4. Yeah, that didn’t work either. Something must have been wrong with the iso file or something, or maybe it was the DVD. Either way, it didn’t work.

Now I am installing Mandrake 10.1. It seems to be going alright so far. It is a graphic install however, so its a little easier, but it is not as fun. Oh well, what ever works right?

Anywho, on to other things. So far school is alright. I got my first math test back today, from Math 30 Pure, and I didn;t do as well as I would have liked. I got a 91%. The two questions I got wrong were worded really weird. I got the right answer, but because of the multiple choice, and the variables and etc, I got them wrong. Oh well, there is always next time. There goes my perfect average though.

I know you will all say something like “I wish I could get that in Math 30, I got this and that” Yeah well, I have become accustom to high nineties marks, and so a low nineties mark is bad for me okay? Is that so hard to understand? So I have high standards, so what? Some one has to do it right? Am I right?

Anywho, I could go on, but I will save you from the atrocity that is my school life. No, I am kidding, it’s not an atrocity, but it was a fun word to use, so I went ahead and used it. That’s right, I wanted to do and I did, isn’t life grand?

Well, that is my rant for tonight, I will keep you updated on the Linux situation.
