I had hoped that upgrades to the system were not done over the weekend...
looks like I was wrong! I get up this morning, went the YMCA, then I did an
update and there was nothing there. Yippee! I thought. Then I did another
update about an hour later and, bummer I thought. Well of course. This is a
USERS system, not a corporations (meaning the unlucky many upgrade it on
their free time).
I was talking with my VOC.Rehab councelor and he was saying that it will
be interesting to see if Linux can break the stranglehold that M$ has on the
world. While browsing my new book [(c) 1999] I read how M$ is on 90% of the
computers in the WORLD. That is a lot of computers. and then this book talks
about 'mtools'.
Hey. Update finished. Cool, mkisofs is being upgraded (for those of you with a
cd burner and debian). Too bad I can't use it! cloop-utils mknbi ntfstools
pppconfig vlc and vlc-gtk are being held back..... what do they do and (more
importantly) should I download them anyways?
Any ways... where was I. Oh yea I talked to my counselor about doing CISCO (as
Hans suggested) and he thinks that what I need to do is complete the program
at Maricopa Skill Center, which (he says) will prepare me for an entry level
job in the NT field. Then, after i START AS AN ENTRY LEVEL LINE RUNNER (or
something like that), the company will pay for me to learn their system.
Personally, I don't think so but this is a MUCH better prospect than working
in the automotive industry (which is what they were paying for me to go to
school to be. I just can't see myself as a mechanic.
well, I have 1/2 hour left in my download. What else can I talk about??? I
guess I'll start another email and write the chapters in my new book down.
