The past week included one CISSP study group session, installing Ubuntu 7.04 “Feisty” on my spare hard drive, and the usual weekend partying/cooking out.

I’ve been using the latest Ubuntu release since early Saturday morning, and I have to say I am impressed. If my parents lived closer than a 10 hour drive from me I might actually consider switching them over to this, although I think we’re at least a few releases away from it being a smooth enough experience for them.

I had never really run a Linux desktop for more than a week or two as my primary desktop OS before, and I believe this one is going to stay for quite a long time. Beryl/Compiz makes things look nice and shiny, as well as providing functionality.

StumbleUpon has come through once again with an interesting tutorial on how to get started with picking locks. I now have something to keep me entertained at work tonight, as the entire site is chock full of good information on lockpicking. I might as well add a new skill or two to myself eh?

Work on the possible podcast progresses. I am working on a little project that I think might provide for an interesting commentary.

More later!
