Out of school

Hey people. Sorry about the lack of updates, I’ve been extremely busy.

I’m out of school this week on 6/13 and flying to Taiwan the same night.
I’m right now packing up some stuff and getting ready. There are lots of stuff I need to get done before I leave like coding a few layouts and upgrading the forums and Wordpress.

As myBB 1.2 is coming, I’m getting ready to totally recode the hosting mod on Retect into a plugin. With the new release coming, the hosting mod will not work due to lots of core changes. Redoing it is better than patching it all the time. Making it a plugin will really help future releases and new features.

The great news is that I got to try out the new Ubuntu Drapper 6.06. It runs alot faster comparing to the Breezy Badger LiveCD. I really love how you can install from the LiveCD. This means you only need to download one iso to install and try out the system.

I’ve also gotten the chance to try out Xubuntu. I’m running only on 256MBs of RAM with my onboard VGA taking some RAM. Xubuntu, which uses the xfce desktop, is as fast as Windows XP running on my computer even when it is running on CD. I am really thinking about slicing some of my backup partition for Xubuntu. I’ll see about it.

I’m going to Great America tomorrow with my school. It’s a pretty big amusement park if you guys don’t know what it is. I should have tons of fun wit that. It’s just really great to get out of school.
Have a great summer, see ya later.
