So you guys know...last weekend both laptops were smashed up. My power cables cut, router destroyed, name it. I have a bashed up hard drive in a worn out laptop that got banged up too. I have no ground to my cable gateway line, and that's causing my internet to crawl.

It took me all week to find some good part of my hard drive to put Vista back on. Right now, I managed to get a version of Ubuntu on here, and that's all I got. I am not 100% sure what exactly I am getting but hoping that by this weekend I can be out of disaster recovery mode.

This past week has had some really major and not so great life stuff.

I'll be back soon, and I only wish my freaking microscope was supported by Linux as it's not UVC. So I may be using Windows and Ubuntu if I could work that out.
