Been long time!

Ok, I know it's been like forever since I type in here. I started working on my computer this weekend. It's kinna new and I had to install a new Linux to it. I decided to go with Ubuntu thinking it would be easier. Oh well haha. That's what I get for thinking! To all my Opera friends, I really sorry I disappear for so long and I hope you all are well and happy! Sorry I can't type in Chinese yet. I still trying to remember everything I did to get Chinese to work good on Linux. I did manage to get my theme and everything to look like my old theme. Ubuntu has the kde3 fork called Trinity that works really really well! yay! smile

Here a lil snappy of my desktop. If anyone comes here an wants to see it big, just click on it. I spend a really long time configuring conky app that shows system monitors on right of screen. Goodness, it was so hard to configure it to work right, especially to show when I have disks mounted or not, and if mpd music playing or not. Anyways, everything works great and I'm happy! If you like to see my conky config file, let me know, but it looks like a big ole jumbly goobered up mess! haha.



Ok , I'm off here.. nity nite and happy Opera blogging!!

Happy Easter

There's a hidden path I use to follow. It was a long time ago and I suspect it doesn't exist anymore. Every so often I think about the many walks I took from one end to the other. It was the place I would just think, all alone, about many different things. When I was really little I use to play pretend, as I walked. It became a magical, mysterious place, very beautiful, but full of many dangers. Only if you were brave and strong, could you make it through to the end. If you showed fear it would attract the evil monsters and you would be in big big trouble! Sometimes it would get dark half way through and I would get scared. Each time, I ran as fast as I could all way to the end where there was a big field not far from my house. I would dive into the big field and roll onto my back to catch my breath. My heart pounding so hard as if it might burst from my chest. I would just lye there a while and gaze up at the stars and just be in awe at how beautiful and mysterious they are. The monsters never caught me. They were always too slow, or to weak, or just not smart enough. Even though I knew it would get dark and I was really scared to take that path a night, it didn't stop me. After I grew up I would sometimes think. What if it was for real and not just pretend. Would I still be brave enough to run through that path at night, knowing there are real evil monsters waiting for me? Hmmm, very hard question to answer!

Maybe the answer is when I jumped into deep water for the first time when learning to swim. Or when I got on a plane for the first time. Or when I learned to ride a motor cycle for the first time. Or each time when I have to stand up and talk to a room full of people at work. Everything I'm really scared to do, but do anyway...

Happy Easter!!

我的中文式英文计算机

对不起,我忽略我Blog非常! 除了电子邮件,我的计算机生活几乎是不存在的。

今天我下班,所以我更新和重新配置Linux操作系统。但是,我仍然保持KDE的版本3。它看起来相同的,但里面的有许多变化。很多程序库变化的内部qt3,qt4,gtk2。我试图使外观相同。由于3主题的qtcurve-kde3,qtcurve-qt4,qtcurve-gtk2,非常接近!

这是一个最近的图片,我desktop。qt3 = konqueror, kwrite。qt4 = vlc Media Player。gtk2 = medit,gimp,sonata,xcalx,xclock,xchat,mlterm。通常我不使用这么多的应用在同一时间。仅仅是一个例子。我的计算机是非常中国式英文,或者美国式中文。

我的中文仍然是可怕的,但我永远不会放弃!p



Music

Well I haven't been blogging in a while. I've been saving my money and finally had enough to buy a new guitar amplifier. The one I've always wanted. A brand new Marshall TSL100 and two 1960AV cabinets sitting next to each other. Now I'm saving for a BOSS GT-10 guitar effects processor. I been playing so much that I could probably be like that martial arts guy who blasted a hole through a piece of wood with his finger. My finger tips are becoming as hard as rocks. haha

Anyway, If you don't see any blog posts in a while, I'm either playing my guitar, or I'm being chased through the neighborhood by a lynch mob p worried

Kitties and Bubbles... My best Buddies...

I thought I would try and snap a few pics of my three best kitty friends. They weren't cooperating and I finally gave up trying to get them to do really cute stuff, and my camera phone really sucks lemons. Anyway....


[/IMG]This is Franky, my best kitty friend. He's a big baby and talks to birds. He makes the strangest kitty noises and he will talk to you for a really long time in Siamese babble. Oh ya, he's totally afraid of creepy crawlers and will really freak if he sees a bug p


[/IMG]This is his brother Petey. He has really long fluffy hair, but we get him shaved every so often in the summer time. He's like the most macho kitty you'd ever meet. Just the opposite of his brother. He loves everyone, because to him, everyone is just a giant can opener. If your lying down on your back, he has this thing he does. He will walk up onto your chest and lye down staring you in the face, with his nose touching your nose. Then, without warning, he grabs your nose in his mouth, but doesn't bite down hard. He just holds your nose in his mouth as if to say "Don't Move!" Ugh. You have to talk sweet to him before he will let go. He sometimes has bad bad kitty breath! He's definitely not afraid of bugs!


[/IMG]Scarlet. She's is a very strange kitty. We found her as a little kitten. She was abused and half starved to death. We nursed her back to health and she's the most lovable kitty. Even though she hates to be held, she loves to be petted and scratched and have her belly rubbed. She has a thing for shredding paper. If you leave a newspaper, magazine, homework, etc.. lying around, she will shred it into little strips for you. She's definitely not afraid of bugs either!


[/IMG]This is Bubbles, aka Alien baby. I baby sit him sometimes and he's the one that gave me Alien flu germs. He's a real cutie pie and the most happiest baby I ever seen! Despite the Alien flu germs, I totally adore him soooo much! smile

He's not afraid of bugs. Bugs are afraid of him!

I have to say, when I walk into a room and bubbles looks at me and smiles with those huge eyes of his, the joy and happiness that radiates from him totally pierces my heart! It's indescribable. Babies are so precious! Sure they get grumpy sometimes, and always wants you to hold them, and they can get into mischief. It can be a lot of work taking care of them, but that's nothing compared to the joy they instill in your heart! Bubbles taught me something. I'm very much into music, but there is no song, or piece of music, that even comes close to the beauty of the smiling happy face of a baby!
