Tomorrow is Halloween and I have some posts lined up to celebrate the day including some videos, images, text and the like. There will be some Instagram pix from work showing how grownups do the holiday. Come back tomorrow for the fun and haunts.
Happy Diwali
This is from last year and I wish all those who celebrate this brilliant and bright holiday a peaceful one. Grace to you all!
(From Wikipedia) Diwali (or Deepavali, the “festival of lights”) is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated in autumn (northern hemisphere) or spring (southern hemisphere) every year. Diwali is one of the largest and brightest festivals in India. The festival spiritually signifies the victory of good over evil. The preparations and rituals typically extend over a five-day period, but the main festival night of Diwali coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, Diwali falls between mid-October and mid-November.
To my fellow bloggers who observe Diwali I wish you a joyous celebration filled with light, love, peace and fun.
A New To Us Desktop Computer
We got a new-to-us desktop computer and I have been setting it up and making it our own. I am dual booting Windows 7 and Xubuntu Linux…yes I am that geeky. My reasons for doing so are to have at least one computer running Microsoft Windows (which you still need for some things) and to have my favorite distribution of the Open Source operating system.
There is something about blogging and writing from a desktop that is much better than a laptop or a device such as a smart phone. As a matter of fact I am writing this post from the Linux OS on the desktop and it’s quite nice. I find you can concentrate and have purpose to your writing. Yeah it might sound old-school like a typewriter but you know if it makes my posts better than so-be-it.
The funny thing about this system is that it’s a compilation of a Dell Optiplex computer, a HP keyboard a Radio Shack Mouse a Logitech webcam, Cannon printer, Samsung monitor and powered speakers I have had for a few years. It all works together which is the nice thing.
I’m Back…Well I Wasn’t Gone That Long, Or Was I?
Hey kids, I have returned after a one day absence. Yesterday I had a Hiwassee College alumni association meeting out of town and my sister celebrated her 40th birthday yesterday. You know one day doesn’t seem like a lot but in social media it is forever so it seems. I hope you all are having a great weekend so far.
Status Update
The weekend is finally here. My week was busy and challenging. I will be somewhat active but I’m going to chill out when possible. I hope you all will have a good one.
