Listening to Green Day just now…but not loud, the tummy bug reminds me now and then that I’m alive, most of all giving me headaches now…

Finally – Linux on my laptop
Yesterday I finally decided to take the time to install Linux on my Lenovo T60. Intentionally I planned to have two distros, one which just fires a browser and another one which offers a fullblown OS. But I got tired of trying to find a suitable small distro, also knowing that wireless can be troublesome with some of them, I decided to just go for Ubuntu 9.10. The whole process of downloading and installing was done in less than two hours. I threw out Windows XP completely, no dual boot, planning to use Wine instead to run the few Windows applications I need (or maybe if everything fails, just use a VmWare image).
First I installed using Norwegian locale, but realized that I really does not enjoy Norwegian language on my computer, so I followed this guideline and in just a few minutes and a reboot everything is in English now. Quite fancy I must say, Ubuntu even changed the names of my folders “Skrivebord” –> “Desktop”…fancy I must say!
Connecting to my wireless was the thing I feared the most, but that has also become very easy. The drivers for my T60 is now part of the kernel, and when I just figured out where to click to connect to wireless it was done in just a minute or so.
Want to do more today, but since I’m sick at home I most of all want to sleep 🙂
Confusing Spotify with nothing
Read the article named “Halleluja for en åpningslåt!” yesterday, released by the band named [ingenting] (Ingenting is Norwegian for “nothing”). Had to check it out, so I search for Ingenting using Spotify. The result is quite interesting, I must admit that I could not quite understand that Ingenting (from Austrått, Norway) had changed their profile totally and started singing in Swedish as well. But I realized after a while that [ingenting] and Ingenting is not the same band, just Spotify believing so.

Green Day – 21st Century Breakdown
Ordered it a long time ago on http://www.play.com, but due to some issues with the order it took some time before it arrived. Needless to say, after the concert last year I really had to have this cd as well. As American Idiot, it is a really good one!
Beck – Odelay
Since I have two of Beck already, and it costed only 20,- at Platekompaniet, I had no excuse not to buy it…
System Of A Down – Steal This Album
