Yesterday was a nice computer day. I'm not saying everything went perfectly as planned. It was just me, the computer, and some football. Go New England.

There was some odd, computer things that happened yesterday. For example, after an update, my menu went away in both KDE and Gnome. It had to look up the fix, but it was as simple as running menu modding program, menudrake, and resaving the menus.

Since then I've installed Java and Flash for my browser. Java usually gives me trouble, but this time it didn't. There was more DVD support built in this release, so all I had to do was install libdvdcss, the software that lets me watch DVDs that I own, bought with my own money.

I'll be adding things that'll tell me weather and cpu usage. System information basically with a little radar on the side. I'll use a program called karamba (superkaramba to be exact) to embed little apps in my desktop. They'll become part of the background. I'm one of those types who wants to know exactly what is going on with my system. That way I'll know when something is going crazy and eating up all my cpu cycles.

I need to fine some skins for XMMS, the Linux version of Winamp 2, not 3, never 3. I downloaded a skin I liked last night. But this morning, I noticed that the Skin called Lemon, that actually says Lemon at the top of the fruit in question, is of a big ole' green Lime. Maybe it is a Lemon, an unripe, juicy, sliced Lemon.
