I finally remembered to take my laptop home from work tonight and installed Linux Mint 6.0 on it, huzzah! It really is much, much faster to surf the 'net / do anything on it now, and it boots / shuts down 1,000,000 times faster than Vista does. Hell, I may just format the whole drive and make it Linux only. Well, maybe not right now, but perhaps one of these days. With Open Office and the like I could still use it for word processing and such like I do from time to time, hmm. We'll see, not gonna rush into anything just yet.

Work has been super busy this week, ugh. It's winding down, as tomorrow is Friday so by definition the week has to wind down, but next week will be just as bad and likely worse. I've got two big things to handle next week, namely a few settlement conferences on Thursday, and a trial on Friday. I've not heard from my client for awhile on that one and I really need to call them tomorrow to see what's up. They're really not taking it as serious as they should, either that or I'm taking it far too serious, but that's kinda my job, isn't it? All I can do is prepare for it either way, I guess, and if they won't take it seriously after all my prodding and reminding then it's not my fault.

Can it be May now, please? ._.

Experimenting with Linux Mint once again. The first attempt at installing it made my computer fail to boot at all, oops. Luckily I was able to reformat that partition and just reuse the bootup disc I'd downloaded and it took on the second try. The last time I installed this it was Linux Mint 4.0, aka Daryna, but now they're already at 6.0, aka Felicia. This version seems to run smoother with my new graphics card, which is good, as that was the main reason I gave up on Daryna. I left my laptop at work but I'll be installing Mint on that for the dual boot option too; maybe it'll make the ol' laptop easier to use, as Vista is such a pain.

Alright, time to reboot this machine back into Windows, here's hoping that still works. There's no reason why it shouldn't, as Linux is on the other HD, but who knows. Here's hoping it works fine! :)
