Photoshop stuffing around this week – apart from several million other thangs. Found a site that is a bit of a strange one. Why is it strange? Well for a site that is all about graf stuff it has a front page that is all txt.. regardless, it has some helpful basic well explained tips : )
Today, investigated the possibility of partitioning an external HD and then installing Ubuntu or other distro – seems like the consensus is – don’t do it. Ubuntu doesn’t like x HDs – rats! Suggestions are to run something else and for a complete novice/newbie such as myself, it is apparently a recipe for potential disaster :/ Actually if people knew the messes I am capable of creating they would have YELLED at me loudly to not do it. Anyway, seems like someone is going to let me have another desktop to play with – oooooo goodie, goodie, goodie : ) aren’t I lucky! Not quite sure where to start but hey… Decided to come up with or find (there has to be one out there) a kind of linux database thang – not sure that BibTeX looks any good – had a peruse of that for LaTeX – not quite what I had in mind. So sick and tire of constantly upgrading software and the need for more funds to keep things afloat – groan – and also trying to get rid of paper – have a pile of pdfs et cetera but how does one store all this shit without paper? Must admit – I like paper but want to be able to store really raw stuff so that I can import, export without junk attached – should make it more accessible and constantly usable into future – that’s the theory. Am living in a fire hazard abode that is about to get a helluva lot worse cos new office is about half the size – rats again!!!
In process of digitising music – geeeeeees it’s slowwwwwwww…. and will do the same for image library – luckily i had a hissy fit and cut up a whole lot of negs and trannies – no – not lucky – very very bad – all bad :/
One day, I might just catch up to the 2oth century – yes – I know that we have already leapt a century on – gimme a break – always was a slow learner : )
If anyone has any brilliant ideas – let me know. In relation to Ubuntu will run two desktops off the one monitor via a switch will gimme a little more space and means I can stuff around to my heart’s content and not stuff up my non-partitioned internal HD with all my real stuff on it : ) So lucky – so very very lucky and fortunate to be in such a wonderful tech support land – even if they are not really unix people… thanks again guys – it’s going to be marvellous to play without fear of disaster – ok – knowing that I’ll crash the new old HD and it won’t matter : ) Aren’t you all envious that I’ll get to play like that?
