I finally made it back to work. I’m feeling a bit better, and I got my blood work back from the doctor. All clear. Apparently my blood is “Perfect”. No colesteral problems, nothing wrong with my thyroid, so I just had a nasty flu.
On a side note… I’ve put Windows 2000 back on my gaming PC. I’ve got a dual-boot setup going now. Linux has about 200GB of HD space, Windows has the other 40GB. I put Winblows back on the system for two reasons.
- Windows has much better gaming support. I’ve been using Cedega for my Linux gaming needs for a few months now, and I guess I’m a little tired waiting for better DirectX 9 support. Playing Guild Wars under Cedega, I can’t do any antialiasing or postprocessing effects because I have to run the game with DirectX 8.
- I couldn’t get my new bluetooth headset and USB webcam to work the way I’d like them to in Linux. It’s a bit easier to get bluetooth working in Windows, and recording video from a webcam in Linux takes a bit more work than I’d like to devote right now.
I’m still using Linux for everything else… web browsing, audio/video stuff, CD/DVD recording, and programming when I have the time. Now that I’m not using Cedega anymore, I can stop my subscription and save $5 a month.
I should be able to post a video of my juggling tomorrow. I would make the vid tonight, but Heroes is on, and that gets my devotion tonight.
