Back from Exodus

I was away for sometime trying to fix my laptop which went crazy. Then I got lazy when my mentor gave me a small TV and a HDD recorder. And when you are stuck in a little village, you have absolutely no motivation to go out to shop or anything. What did I do? I went online to spurge on a new PC and LCD monitor. To make things worst, I had to redo the entire setup as I did not like to work with a Japanese version of Vista. Firstly, I only tried Vista twice and was not used to it. Secondly, I did not know the specialise words the Japanese use for various PC settings. Which meant I could not change the settings easily or troubleshoot easily. Thus I went to do some "manipulation" to the system. Reformat my laptop with XP and Ubuntu. Which went along pretty fun other then it took quite some time for Linux to install. Vista prove to be A PAIN! Everytime it downloads something drivers, it messes with the audio or worst...the internet connection. I had to redo it a few times, and now...I just limit what it was downloading and make sure I remember to fix my restore point.

Alright, with so many things, I deicided to rearrange the room....check out the new setup

24inch Wide LCD, ability to pivot 180 degress, though I have not figured out what I want to do with that function. 5 year old Acer Laptop on dual boot XP and Linux. Wireless Keyboard and mouse. With that、I can watch shows on my bed, surf from the bed. Woohoo.

Television and HD recorder. Now I A fridge at the far right with my boiler and rice cooker on the top.

Not too sure if I showed this before, but the cupoards did not have shelves. So I had to get the plastic kind, which was expensive cause it was made in Japan. A wooden shelve for more daily wear. The space on the left is suppose to be for the fridge, but I bought a stick and s



I got a free Toshiba Calender too. Love the pictures.

Now that I have most of the stuff setup, I will like someone to sposor me a speaker set with bluetooth capabilities so I can soak in the bathtub and stream some music (A2DP of course). Another monitor so I can ...erm...just so I can. A new digital camera (Ricoh), a DSLR. A router so I can be hooked online on both machines. Hmm...I have many more things I want....

By the way, I am broke. Poor...whatever you call it.
