It's the Friday post of doom - muwhaha!
Man, I am just on a roll this week. After months of not blogging, I've had a bunch of entries this week. Unfortunately for you, today I don't really have anything too new. I previously wrote about how groovy SLAX linux is, maybe I'll just give you an update on how my experiments with it are going. Because it really is a simply amazing distro.
I've talked about how I wanted a portable liveCD custom distro with all my fav java tools, and I think I have that now...so what next? Is a live CD really the best development environment? Is it fast enough? What about other uses - perhaps there's a way to make dynamic liveCD archives of PHP/MySQL websites? Who knows.
The funny part is, I'm really not sure where this whole Linux thing is leading me - I just know its leading somewhere good. I'm also delving more deeply into some online CBT's for Linux+ certification (usually I sit through a rather boring textual CBT module on Linux, and then have actual fun trying the concept using SLAX!). I really can't say why Linux attracts me so, I mean, we don't even really make use of it all that much at work. It's like it's the Holy Grail of Programming or something, and every piece of knowledge I get about Linux brings me one step closer to "it"; whatever "it" may be.
More questions than answers in today's blog, I'm afraid. But hey, isn't that what a good writer is supposed to do - leave his audience wanting for more? Course, in my case, it's usually more about being so incredibly sarcastic I never really get my point across...I won't apologize for that though. :)
Anywho, let's hope some super-chocolately innovation is lurking somewheres in the oft murky depths of Linux info I'm fangoriously devouring. When inspiration strikes, you'll be the first to know. Or, at the very least, the second or third. Eighth at most, I give you my word.
