I'm just trying to do my part. Novel did a survey for win32 software which had an audience to linux port and these are the results http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16798.html

He who asks is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

He who is ashamed of asking is ashamed of learning. got them from http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pattis/quotations.html

School is nearly a week away and I'm starting to feel it coming near. Class starts on Jan 23 and I've only chosen 2 classes thus far to take: Calculus 2 and C# programming. I would have taken Physics 1 but the course was not available. My break has been rather uneventful; I've done virtually nothing I thought I was going to do or even wanted to attempt to accomplish. I think that I've learned that planning does not work for me; I only seem to get work--pertaining to my programming--accomplished when I least want to. I get bouts of depression or states of melon collie as though it was trendy. So programming is not always the first thing that is on my mind. These days I contemplate large life changing events such as getting a drivers license and car, which my father is paying for un-enthusiastically--I'm enthusiastic about it though. Also I'm looking into prices for my first possible laptop. Looking into the duo architecture for the laptop, looks pretty nice.

The year is over, it's January 3rd, 2006 and it's been quite the learning experience. I've survived 2 semesters of school and lived to tell about it. smiles As a general rule thought, I would say to a large degree it was just another year like any other--minus the catastrophes which plagued this earth: Tsunami in the West Indies, New Orleans Levy breaking, and the earthquake in Kashmir; all events causing huge loss of life. I'm just trying to make my first post of the year so bare with me. Anyways.. late.
