I decided to attempt a dual-boot install of Linux over the weekend.  Yes, I am that big of a geek.  Installing an OS sounds like fun.

Alas, I was not met with success, and conferencing with a Linux using friend were eventually fruitless (though I am extremely grateful to him for sacrificing precious board-prep time to assist!).  As it ended up I had a copy of Linux installed that eventually got me into KDE, but the computer didn't recognize there was a copy of Windows to boot into.  So I decided what the heck, let's do a clean install.

So a format later (I had backed up everything important before attempting the Linux install) I started getting back some of my programs.  Many of them are from Stardock (a surprising number actually!), including Blog Navigator Pro.  I had used it minimally in the past, but started really playing around with it earlier this week.  That was when I came to a (rather obvious) realization that I should have already known about: I could blog without ever actually having to point a browser to JU.  I knew this before, but missed some of the finer points of use. 

Suddenly I felt inspired.  It appears that my muse has at least graced me with an idea, if not its full presence.  So after a shorter-than-expected absence, I just may pick back up.  However, I have set up a couple other sites I will be posting to as well, so we'll see where I stick with.  Good to see you friends again (and thanks to BN, I don't have to see the rest of you at all).
