ok, so it has been a while...

ok, so I thought I would try and post stuff up semi regular like, get into a routine.
more also to type up about what software and hardware I've been fooling about with, and what my plans are.... With minor life stuff thrown in sometimes.

So, brief summary of my last 2 or so years since my last post: shit happens.

I've moved a couple of times, and bought various things. Read various books, sung various hymns (yes, a sort-of ryhme on purpose!).
But overall, where I thought I was making progress in the past, I haven't. Where I hoped things would change, they haven't. And instead of things getting better I lowered my expectations.

Now, onto the tech stuff.
I'm typing this on my Motorola XOOM tablet, I have a raid-mirrored PC, which has Fedora Linux on it. I have 2 laptops, again both with Fedora on them.
The hardware stuff I plan to do soon (in no particular order) is:
1) Root the xoom and put a different ROM on there (Motorola have pissed me off!)
2) Symultaniously upgrade/migrate my pc to have raid 2tb drives (currently has raid 1tb drives), and also upgrade Fedora to the latest version.

... I will update any further actions but I am not much into hardware...
I'm more into software!!!
1) Correct my linux auto-installer method to re-install to previous partitions instead of recreating the volume group (good if I wanna keep a snapshot of a filesystem)
2) Investigate GIT some more (currently understanding it bit by bit)
3) read through and help contribute to the bumblebee project on github.com (project to help get my graphics card working better on linux).
4) sync up my data in a better fashion (I need a pop up box to tell me I have to sort out any errors).
5) investigate integration of git into work, how it may help there
6) progress my c++ and opengl knowledge, get some stuff done here!!
7) fix my backup system to be a bit more smoother and backup only the valuable things.

This last week I've been looking at git, and how it works.. I've also been reading through systemd, the new linux boot initialization system (very interesting stuff)..
I shall try to give an update soon and it should be much better...

See you then!
