Nov. 1, wow a new month and so much stuff to get done.

On the priority list is:

Upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10
Working on JET app
working on my new website
Installing new server software on my server
playing Fallout 3

I put upgrading ubuntu at #1 only because that’s a start & forget thing. I started the upgrader and I’ll let that run occasionally checking for prompts..

On the JET app. the next thing is just really mass printing everything and then organizing it into a nice package. There’s still some things I need to bust my ass this week to do… The first is getting official transcripts from Clark Co., next is getting my 2 letters of rec., then finally getting a notice from Overseas I sent for. On the back burner maybe setting up a physical with a doc..

My timeline is to get it packaged and mailed by November 14th or 15th. As of today– I feel confident that I’m on track for that… Come the 13th, who knows ;P

Next on the big list is my website.. I’ve recently setup a site, but ironically have forgotten the credentials to log in.. lol. It’s likely since I haven’t done anything that I’ll scrap it and load a new one. Really I didn’t like the setup I made to begin with… it was hastily done, and this site I want to be good looking– incorporating all my talent and everything. I’ve decided to try and use drupal’s CMS software for my blog. I was going to use wordpress, but I feel that the way things are going– I’ll probably soon expand my site and I’ll need the extra configuabilty later. One of drupals very nice features is it’s “book” ability. I think it would be really fun to explore writing books. In college, of course, I found a nack for writing and in many ways I’d like to keep doing that.

Along with Ubuntu’s update is a server package I’m interested in installing on my server. Recently the old eserver horse has been used to mock up plenty of website CMS’s and attempts, but since now I’ve gone pro with a webhosted service for mysite… I’d be fine to let that old dog do another trick as a media host or backup file server. Now 8.10 server is a lot for just dinking, but dinking is what I do– I’ll learn a lot from it i’m sure.

Finally Fall out 3.. I picked up a copy after work at Best Buy and it’s fantastic! Absolutely grand.. It’s one of those huge world games with tons and tons of stuff to do. I’m dual booting pretty much for that reason alone otherwise linux is fine for me. The more I play Fo3, I’ll do my take on it.

OK.. so time to get cracking away.. feels like work on a Sat already…

More updates to come.. otherwise I’ll try to keep my blip’s or tweets updated through out the day with twitter.
