My Toshiba m10 now runs ubuntu. Opensolaris looks like a dead end at least for running on my computers.I have let this blog hang in the breeze for a while, but I have decided to get back into it, for a couple of reasons. First I retired last year. I quit Oracle. I would work in computers again, but I am not driving 50 miles a day, or allowing someone else to define my hours of work. I want to spend the rest of my life doing something I really care about. I don't want to join Facebook I really don't trust that guy's software running in my computers.
This is the place where friends and family can find out what I think.
I live in a gated community with all the drama I could ever want. I try to avoid it as much as I can. I am applying for veterans benefits as I am a Viet Nam veteran. I can say that now that no one is going to hold it against me. It sucks dragging up those old feelings, but it had to be done. I could use the extra money being retired and all.
I live here in North Carolina with my wife who loves me and puts up with my cranky pants attitude.
I spend time learning mandolin, writing the VA, feeding the birds, and praying. I would like to sail more, but I haven't gotten a sail boat yet.
I intend to write about my communications with the VA, how I feel about government, and my day to day experiences as I settle into retirement. I plan to write once a week, unless I get a job.
Here is to a new start on my blog.
