Crazy time of year. Tried doing nanowrimo last month, on top of all the family activities. Needless to say I didn't make my word goal. I barely made 4% of the word goal. Oh well, try again next year, and maybe in the interim I can punch up this one I started.
Work is busy busy with more projects and facilities to integrate than I had expected for end of the year. that's good, but leaves little time for other things.
My home system keeps prompting me every few days to upgrade to newest Ubuntu. I don't think I want to. I finally have everything working, camera functions, all the websites I go to work, the windows games like Rift, GuildWars, Lord of the Rings, Eve, etc. they all work quite well under wine. That and the fact I really don't like the look of the Unity desktop is making me re-evaluate my choice in system.
I am now planning to use part of my holiday break time to check out the various distributions and see what one fits for me the best. Anecdotally Mint is leading the way right now, since they are the best of the multimedia options essentially on an Ubuntu platform. But, the newer release of OpenSuSE is very intriguing.
Maybe its time for me to go back to an RPM based system and learn its foibles. But, its so so hard to go away from something that works well.
New computer maybe, so I can leave this one intact while I evaluate?
