Psalm 89
The other day I was feeling down. Life was piling on circumstances that I started to feel were too much. I spent the day moping around the house just trying to feel better, but it didn’t work. That night I opened my devotion book and read the devotion for the day. It was the first [...]

Linux junkie
I deleted my Windows partition. Windows failed to boot. I tried to reinstall. The setup program wouldn’t recognize the CD. I said, “Good Bye.”
Ubuntu Linux now claims all the space on my hard disks. I love it. The transition was relatively painless. Even my mom had no trouble getting used to using Ubuntu. The unfortunate [...]

Am I that political?
I think China hates me. I’m not joking either. They must really hate me.
Why?
Try searching for me on Yahoo! China. I’m not there. This website doesn’t show up. My old blog locations don’t show up. Even profiles I have on other sites under the name “jmweirick” don’t show up. The only thing that shows up [...]

Breezy Badger
I got a copy of Ubutnu Linux 5.10 running. I tried first to update from 5.04 by doing an apt-get dist-upgrade, but I kept running into errors so I downloaded the ISO and did a fresh install. It worked like a dream. I’m looking forward to exploring all the new features .

Spam
I decided to do an experiment. Wanting to see how much spam I actually get, I decided to stop deleting my spam a few days ago. As of now I have twenty emails in my spam folder on Gmail. Of those, only six are in English. The rest? They’re in Japanese! Now, I don’t surf [...]
