My nose is running and I still have this cough.  That’s my pitiful excuse for not calling back about a Senior Linux Administrator job.  I have to be on my game to talk intelligently about regular Linux administration. The only way I qualify for the Senior part is by age.

After a month I like only 2 things about the phone; its basic existence and its cord connects to a PC for data interchange and charging.  I have yet to get used to the user interface to do simple things like get to the missed calls menu.   Another idiosyncrasy is I have to hold down the lock button a lot.  I’ll probably get used to it as I get more calls.

I’ve decided to make bigger blog entries. Cool Site of the Day showed a site last week that talked about writing 750 words(3 pages) a day.  I’m not going for that big but I will go for 250.  Lord know it’s not easy on this particular machine since it’s missing the t key cover.  

I got this machine from my last job.  I keep it because it has a old version of Photoshop on it.  I have Ubuntu on my other laptop and I downloaded GIMP.  I’m terrible at both of them but I’m much better than I was in November of 2008.

I must say I like Pandora,  I’ve picked a Dizzy Gillespie channel and it plays the kind of jazz I enjoy.  You can recognize a beat and a melody but it’s like a late fifties/early sixties detective movie soundtrack.
