Still getting used to this new sleeping schedule, as I reprogram myself to wake up at a early time I might miss a post or two as a result. It's quite doable not question about it, but readjusting my schedule for work and things of that nature are quite challenging to get use to again. I will most likely be aiming to wake up around 3am every morning because my workload has become a reflection of my sleeping schedule. These are things that need to be done correctly because other habits may resurface and I can do without the distractions.

Currently I'm washing my bed sheets and working on a presentation for Linuxfest here in Spokane. This I believe will be a huge thing if done correctly and will boost my career to new heights that I have yet to even for see. That is my main focus to finish this simple presentation on how to transfer your workload to a Linux machine specifically the Raspberry Pi. This obviously requires me to purchase a Raspberry Pi as I have been unsuccessful in acquiring one through third parties. I want be able to make Raspian look somewhat professional rather than simply install it right out of the box. I believe that I am simply going to boot Raspian from a USB Drive and run the presentation of it natively. All I'm hoping for is that it comes with the packages that I need to create my stunning presentation.

Other than that I have quite a bit of work to be catching up on. I have to make a decent first post on my newly launched computer e-commerce site, All Things Computers. One this site my goal is to educate the world on using a computer with Linux and customizing your machine to meet your daily needs in life for as cheap as humanely possible. I am also thinking about purchasing some hardware from my store to do a simple review on each product while it is running current Linux Distro's. This will require me to create a USB booting multiple OS'. We shall see how that goes but it shouldn't be to difficult to just purchase about 5 or more USB 2GB sticks off the Internet either. So the game plan is to write that post on my computer store site by tomorrow morning.

I'm also currently working on developing a security system using a Mac, it's webcam and possibly a fingerprint scanner. Though that sounds really enticing to try to integrate a webcam and fingerprint scanner into my code it would be quite the time consuming task as I must learn how to integrate hardware with my software. Something that I have yet to actually do on a much more complex level as detailed in the agreement. Not only that but helping another local business with management of their Facebook fan pages. I sometimes wish that Facebook would be more responsive on their emails or perhaps I'm not reaching out to the right in the right way if you guys catch my meaning.

Though familiarizing myself with the Facebook API has been quite the interesting challenge over the past couple days. So much information, which makes me glad that I was born in this time period rather than my parents because it's all free. Information in general is what makes a populace grow more as a society though there are still those who are afraid to touch a computer due to the negligence of the major companies such as Microsoft in particular and I will admit that Linux didn't have the most gorgeous first-time user experience back in the time period that my parents grew up in. At least I was introduced to this wonderful OS that I'm running and so far without any hitch. We shall see as the latest LTS release of Ubuntu is being released soon. The rules say that one shouldn't upgrade their system right when the new release comes out. So I'll simply back up my machine like a good boy and upgrade to see what the major issues are. I believe that it would be a cool idea to use Unity but I really have fallen in love with cinnamon as my desktop environment.

Till We Meet Again
