A Carafe of Ubuntu
You know you're a geek when you have more notebooks than Leonardo da Vinci had (and you kept them because they're all filled with important computer information). My school notebooks have computer/physics-related scrawls scattered throughout them, and I have at least 2.5 notebooks filled with computer/physics stuff. And I don't think I'll stop using notebooks anytime soon...

Oh, yes. From computer problems, to trying to remember the name of that actor in that movie we saw that time (I've been asked that exact question - that vague). Luckily IMDB usually helps with the latter though.Originally Posted by poetstorm
But when it comes to the really tricky problems, I get really frustrated, *but* the high you get right after you fix it... can't be beat! Plus then you get to say "Look! Look! I fixed it!!!"
For a little while, I went all digital, but then I bought a Moleskine notebook on an impulse... and I love it. I thought the Moleskine fanatics were crazy to rave about a stupid notebook, but I love it! I have a couple different ones - an almost-daily journal, one for random thoughts, and one for story ideas and brainstorming (I'm a writer). For some reason, it's just nice to write in one. I couldn't keep up with a digital journal/diary, but I've been very loyal to my notebook.

Why are uploads slower than downloads? That's easy. When you upload, the computer has to push the bits upward. When you download, the bits just fall by gravity, so it's much faster.

*laughs* Thanks. YKYAGW you finally make up an acronym for it. Or when your signature includes something like "~/ ~/ on the range" *grins*

YKYAGW you act as though the world is about to end when you're new video card doesn't work.
I only just realized that my PSU is only 400W, but the box recommends 450W.

*snrk* Nice one. I'd be tempted to put that in any Ubuntu manual from now on...

YKYAGW you boot an Ubuntu Intrepid CD on your mom's laptop while she's out walking the dog just to see her reaction. She should be home soon, I'll let you know if I convert her!
Ubuntu would actually run better on her old Compaq Presario laptop than my dad's new HP Pavillion dv9000 because she doesn't use a B-tooth mouse. My dad stopped trying Ubuntu because we couldn't get it to auto-detect the mouse. nDiswrapper would make her built-in wireless work just fine, and it auto-detected our HP Photosmart C6180 WiFi printer. Plus, the LiveCD is running faster than Windows XP ran off of the hard drive!
