So my desktop at home took a hard crash this morning. Just up and turned itself off while I was watching “The Totally Rad Show.” Well, I was watching the show, and defragging, and downloading and and and and and. So… guess I was pushing it kind of hard. I think it overheated and just cut out. I wasn’t monitoring CPU temp at the time so I can’t be sure. I began watching it again when I turned it back on. It looks as if normal running temp is around 170°F currently. Which according to my knowledge is a fine temperature.

Sadly the computer problems and studying for school have left me strapped for time so I have had to delay the release of this week’s episode of Geekure. It’ll be out tomorrow or Sunday most likely.

Also probably tonight or tomorrow I’ll be installing the latest Ubuntu “Feisty Fawn” to get back into it. I had it on there for a while. Took it off when I took a job which required me to program in the Windows environment, which I no longer have. But with the latest release it seems like a good time to get back in there. This feeling is furthered even more by the realization that Microsoft is working hard for their “Evil Empire” merit badge with the thread of stopping supply for Windows XP in 2008.

I left the computer humming in the corner as it happily defragged my hard drives. My C drive was horribly fragmented and in dire need of a thorough cleaning. If Ubuntu proves to be able to handle my day to day uses I may go sole boot to Ubuntu and get rid of Windows all together, entering into the house that Mark built.

We’ll see though.
