Health and Happiness

It's been a while since my last post. A lot has changed. All for the better. I've quite smoking cigarettes, and started exercising! I'm now on Week 5(Phase 2) of P90X. I'm already noticing results. I'll definitely keep my progress updated on here. I'm really enjoying replacing old bad habits with good new ones!

I've also made a commitment to purge my household of as much proprietary software as humanly possible while not sacrificing productivity. No more Windows machines remain in my house. I do have a virtual machine of Windows XP as a backup, and good ole' trusty Mac OS X.  I'm running Xubuntu 11.10(Oneiric Ocelot) and Arch Linux on my primary machines. I really enjoy the simplicity of both distributions. Between WINE and VirtualBox, I can safely say I don't need Windows anymore! I'll be sure to document my findings in future posts.

Health and happiness with open source software and exercise! I can't think of a better way to improve my lifestyle!

GOOGLE APPS

I finally got my new google voice account and number. It's nice to have an extra expendable number to give out. I like how it saves on text messaging as well. International calling is cheaper than what is offered through wireless or phone providers. Plus it integrates seamlessly with your current phone.

GOOGLE CHROME WEB BROWSER

I have been impressed with my experience using the Google Chrome web browser. It is fast, reliable, works with the majority of web pages, and looks great. Many features have been integrated to allow for a seamless user expierence. I will not waste your time with details, you can find a full review here. I love my Mozilla Firefox and nothing will change that. However, Google Chrome has some things I really enjoy. DEF PROPS
