So here I sit in the doctor’s office waiting for mom. It took them over an hour to get her in, and it’s taking a lot longer than normal. IRRITATING! Ahh well, that gives me time to push my N900 a lot more than usual. So here goes, let’s see if I don’t miss anything.

Nokia finally updated firmware for the N900 to PR1.2 after a very long wait. I’m still up in the air if it was worth it or not. Two things I’ve absolutely noticed is that I’ve got a lot more space left on rootfs (about 32% instead of 9% that I had before), and that the whole os is much more responsive. I don’t have nearly the lag that I used to have, which is really nice, a major improvement seems to be with MicroB. I have noticed that the OSK is redesigned and doesn’t have all the keys with the D-Theme that I used, so I had to go back to the default theme. I do like the type to search in the app manager and the menu no longer having a “more” button. Other than that, I haven’t tried any other “new” features like skype video calling.

In other news, I’ve applied for a job with GRCS for a summer job moving computers, maybe turning into something more, that would be awesome. I’m also going to apply to @LiquidWeb in Lansing and see if that is an opportunity that would work. I’d love to work out there, it would be a great opportunity and I’m sure I could learn a lot from there and I’d be more than willing. I’ve been doing quite a bit of side-work with computers, and one of the jobs has the potential to turn into something more, and hopefully it does. This makes me sound like a workaholic, but I like to have a job I enjoy. I’m also working on getting my MFR (Medical First Responder) license, which would be awesome, always been something I’ve wanted to do.

Well, now it’s over 24 hours since I started this post and I haven’t written much….nothing really too exciting is happening. Though, yesterday Nicole’s car decided to fall apart, so we’re currently down to one vehicle while she finds something to replace her car. It looks as if the rear lower ball joint (if it can even be called that) blew apart so her rear passenger’s side tire didn’t sit right. With the other issues we’ve had with the car, it wasn’t worth fixing if we’d need to replace it by winter anyways. This wasn’t the optimal way I’d like to have replaced her car, but you gotta do what you gotta do I suppose. What she’s going to get is up in the air yet, but it looks like another car similar to what she had.

In other news, I got my Logitech G15 finally from Newegg, and so far I love it! The keys are nice and quiet, as well as feeling very solid and easy to use. The LCD screen is very useful, and as soon as I find some more applets, I’ll be sure to use them. I also have to allow unsigned drivers for 64bit Win7 yet so…some things don’t work yet. Its definitely something I’d recommend to anyone looking for a good, solid gaming keyboard.

Well, I think I’ll wrap this one up for now, I don’t think I missed much.
