That's nice though. Most people around here want to start their new gig as soon as they quit the old one. I never understood that. If you are joining some place new, you might as well take a good break in the middle.

It's also a rare opportunity to decide that you're not going to be working for x amount of time. When you're between gigs then for once you decide how long you want to be away.

Ugh, I tried the new ubuntu release from a few days ago. They literally have an amazon icon sitting on the task bar now. How sad for such a great project to have such a sad ending.

It's friday, so I'm working from home. Well, at least trying to. Feeling insanely tired for no reason.

Me too. But I have been feeling tired the whole week. It's depressing.

What? They have an amazon search app in the menu? Damn! This is no smartphone with a preinstalled OS... The success of mobile devices and their touchscreen interfaces has had a negative impact on OS interfaces in genereal. Unity as well as GNOME 3 appear clumsy to me.

I was planning to upgrade from Linux Mint (which is pretty good) to the new version of Ubuntu just to try it out.

Yeah, this whole mobile revolution has been pretty terrible for desktop linux. (In fact for desktop in general.) It's taken a lot of excitement and interest out of that space and into mobile development with the prospect of making 5 bucks in apple's walled garden. Very sad.

Unity is annoying and Gnome3... while it looks nice and I could probably like it, it's silly sluggish unless you have the latest Ati/Nvidia bs card and a working driver. Which excludes a whole lot of people.
