It’s Saturday night and I’m stuck home with the baby, who is sleeping at the moment. I have entered my class work for next week for my Systems Analysis and Design class. Tomorrow I’ll start Chapter 3’s classwork, and finish posting to the 1st week’s conference. The wife went to a dessert party over at her aunt’s house and took Emma and Molly, so I only had one kid to worry about. Which was nice of her.
I’m just about done installing Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows XP pro, in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, so I can now run multiple operating systems virtually on my computer. Installing Linux in Microsoft’s Virtual PC is a pain but Virtual PC 2007, SP1 made it a little easier, but these two websites made it easier to install Ubuntu 8.04 as a virtual PC. http://arcanecode.wordpress.com/ and http://blogs.technet.com/seanearp/archive/2008/05/13/installing-ubuntu-8-04-hardy-heron-in-virtual-pc-2007.aspx.
Also, I’m messing around with Sysinternal’s new application called Desktops, which allows a window user to have up to 4 desktop running, like Gnome/KDE for Linux users, I’m coping files and working on my virtualised computers on one desktop, and typing this in another desktop. All I need to do is press Alt 1 through 4 to switch between them. Pretty neat I do say myself, check it out here, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc817881.aspx.
