KDE yet again

I love Linux. Let me say that first. There is no better OS, and I have OS X, and Windows. The only thing preventing Linux from overtaking the free world is the archaic method of program installation. I know, In know, there's a jillion Distro's, that you need to compile for yours. Take the average Windows user though, first off, they have no idea what a "Distro'" is. (short for distribution, a version of linux - there are tons), and anything short of "Click here to install" sends them into a tailspin of frustration. I don't mind it, but geeze, terminal windows?, ./configure's?, make?, make install?, and where the hell did it *put* my program???? I still can't get any DVD players to work, and I've installed 3 of them. (I must be missing something with the skin setup for mPlayer, because I've done exactly what they say and still get skin errors.

By the way, if you install KDE 3.5, and can't find your trash, go to the tool bar, right click and select "add applet". You'll find it there.

Blue Monday

It was a nice weekend, weather was great, got out for a couple of short rides, forgot about hings for a while. It's back to the office today, and back to the stress of the week. This past week has probably been the worst of my 40 some years. I wish I were 18 again, and the only thing I needed to worry about is rent, smokes and gas.

BTW, the Ninja Turtle movie sucked. It was cool for what it was, but after priming my little ones with the 80's Ninja movie on Friday, they were excited to see the goofy hero's save the day again. What we got was Goth Batman in shells. Too loud, too scary and too serious. It seems they made Mike "funny" strictly for comic relief. Even my 15 year old didn't like it. Maybe it's just because I hate CGI. Maybe I'm just a crabby old man.
