First Blog

So here I am, making my first blog and eating Sour Skittles.

The reason I'm making the blog is a secret! *Gasp*, or maybe I just can't think of a reason just yet ;-) but there is a reason why I chose "A Forest Path" as the name, which just might be part of the reason why I'm making the blog.

So, today I've done almost nothing (surprise surprise). Last night I got aLinux setup on my computer which makes a total of two Operating Systems on my Hard Drive now (aLinux and Window$ XP). As I stumble around in the dark trying to set things up, I learn different things here and there about the new OS on my system. My goal for the day was originally to get my Internet Connection working on aLinux, but it doesn't look bright. At least I managed to set up the Sound correctly...which took longer than I had expected. aLinux is a nice change from Windows and it's fun to find the differences between them, though, setting up a Dial Up connection using Windows is a lot easier (so far) than installing it on aLinux (using the KDE Desktop)...Mainly just one thing that has been obstructing my path; Whenever I try to set up the Modem location, it will say "Modem Ready" and then the program freezes, after closing it I try it again and it says "Looking for Modem" in which case it will freeze after that, everytime it freezes I have to change the location of where the Modem is supposed to be to the next folder in the drop down menu...Don't quite understand it yet, but I'm sure I'll get it eventually.

Earlier this morning work had called in to say it was really slow so they didn't need any extra hands, so I got them to schedule me for tomorrow instead, which gave me some more time to set things up here.

As for tonight, I'll be hanging out with some friends (like most Saturdays) so maybe I'll work on Jobapolitan (A game in Visual Basic I'm making for some friends, it's pretty much just for laughs) for an hour or two...though I think I'll try to set up my Internet Connection for a bit longer before I work on Jobapolitan
