Time… I am having troubles with time lately.. my 40th birthday just went by and its driving me to re-organize and re-evaluate. First thing is to define the constants..

168 hours week (24×7) = 56 hours sleep (8 ours of beautiful sleep a day) + 112 wakefull hours (up and at ‘em)

so thats 168=56+112

Out of that 112 wakeful hours i have a job that i work at.. lets say 40 hours.. truthfully it ranges from 40 to 60 but for the purposed of this discussion lets assume 40.

112 wakeful hours - 40 hours work = 72 hours total personal time

Wow! 72 hours.. lets break that down into weekday and weekend time..

8 hours of sleep on sat and sunday (assume i am not working on the weekend) is 16 hours.. so 48 hours minus 16 hours.

48 - 16 = 32 hours

32 hours weekend personal

and 24 - 8 (work) - 8 (sleep) = 8 hours

8 hours personal time on the weekday

Where the hell does it all go?

Yeah, that thought you just had in your head.. i had the same one.. thats why i am putting my foot down and doing something about it.

In FedoraLand, people talk “Linux” and in UbuntuLand people talk “Ubuntu”.

Ubuntu folks are like mac users.. always all about their OS and how cool it is.. while i think most other linux folks are all about what they do with their OS. Their distribution of choice really does not matter too much to them.. they can get what they need from pretty much every distro.

Utility users i like to call them.

I have been running linux on one box or another for a loooong time. since back in the early/mid 90’s. I think slackware back in ‘93, and have flopped and flipped through most distributions, not really caring one way or another what the brand name was.. Now i am pretty much at the “if i need it i will install it/create it” stage.. making a distribution up as i need it based on cent or slack or whatever.

I have this idea… of creating a couple live cd’s … call them “MikeBuntu” heheheh

Well, i have been working on it on and off for a couple months, did a quick mockup for tank clearance etc last night. As it stands right now, i have a bunch more parts to get and some fabrication left, but am happy with the results so far. Check out my kick ass brown leather seat.. cant wait to ride it.

Air Car.. compress air.. run it though an engine of sorts and produce forward momentum. Old idea, new technology. I will buy one as soon as they are available for my commute to work.

I want one.. 9″ .. gOS.. $400 .. can get em at the evil Wal-Mart or online.

I think i can do just about everything with one.. compile, develop, …errr wait.. does it have a USB port? how about bluetooth?
Yeah, i know i can do everything i need on it.. just need to bump up that ram from 512 meg to 2 gig.
