Vacation…Weeeeee
I’m on vacation this week. I plan on getting lots done. I’m not going anywhere in particular, just using the time to rectify some issues. I’ll be continuing my work on the new comics and trying to sort out what is feasible.
I’m also thinking about starting a diet of some sort – maybe Nutri-System or something. Something that limits my portions and I can get a steady supply of. My diet has been horrible of late, and I need to start thinking about my health.
I attained a Kiosk machine from work – my first PC. It has a P4 2.0 GHz chip and an 600×800 touch screen, and it’s nice – I tried installing ubuntu on it, a Linux OS. It’s an okay OS, but I can’t get it to work with my wireless USB adapter. Plus it doesn’t have drivers for the touch screen. Plus the processor fan on it is LOUD. I was thinking about installing Windows XP (*shudder*) but came to my senses – paying $199 for the OS when I can buy a NEW computer with XP on it for another $150-200. I don’t know what to do with it, now. I can’t complain – cause it was free, but I can’t come up with a good use for it at the moment. What do you think?

Not an expert but a buddy of mine who is a serious *nix head suggested Knoppix or Fedora for one of my older PCs. You could do a search for your USB driver and Linnux to see it there’s a flavor out there that’ll support it. Apparently the SUSE distro is pretty USB friendly.

If it’s a touch screen, look at some Wacom drivers. It may not be the same, but considering the Cintiq is a slimmed down version of a kiosk screen, you never know. If not, just junk on some loser on eBay and buy a new PC.

Travis. The week is over. I’m gonna need you to go ahead and post a comic now.

Heck just more girls with swords and computers.

What is feasible? Did you sort it out? Or did you lay around drinking beer.

Dude. I could use that Channel Chops book right now. I don’t remember any of that stuff.
