So, I’ve discovered BloGTK just now, and this post here will be the maiden voyage of said tool in combination with my WordPress blog…. (looks pretty good thus far!!! =:) )

In other news, I found a very interesting blog today from which I’ll quote…

One of the joys of running Linux is that all the Windows problems – spyware, virii, worms, zombies, etc – don’t apply. There’s a flip side to this: when something goes wrong, it’s a private hell because you can’t just take your desktop to a shop.

Heh. That’s a pretty profound couple of sentences, really. I think that’s why some of my good friends have abandoned Linux. To clarify, I think that when you no longer are able to tolerate the once-in-a-while problems that Linux might have (most of the times they’re related to wanting to do things with hardware/software that the hardware/software vendors have not allowed to work in Linux), WindowsXP starts to look mighty enticing. Things just work there, after all, right? =;) Don’t fool yourself–there’s 2 sides to that coin. It’s your decision as to which is the lesser of 2 evils. If I had all the money in the world, I’d likely be the proud owner of 6 Macs. But I don’t and I’m not. And I still value the freedom that Linux gives me over the comfortable cell that Windows gives you.

Also, I’ve discovered amaroK lately, and I’m completely taken with it. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for in a media player for the last 4 years or so. =:) VERY nice job guys.

Oh–and Happy New Year!! =:)
