Fresh Look, Upcoming Tinkering, and a New Boatanchor

I am thinking of making the blog the main part of CarolRutz.com. I have not updated the page and it just looked dated. And I need to read up on HTML5. So you will see some new templates and pages at the blog end.

And there will be more content. However, I won’t be posting much on theology. When I open a Bible or the Book of Concord, I can still hear one prof’s voice telling me that my AS made me unsuitable for church work. So don’t count on me on that field. But you will see me trying new make up products, posting snarky pics, restarting misGuidance Theatre, and lots of FOSS stuff. It depends on my whim and mental outlook. And so far, I’m doing well.

I’m quite psyched over my new laptop, a Toshiba P755. Originally, I bought a HP Pavilion DV6 with an AMD Quad Core A8 on Black Friday. But the dang graphics card hiccupped, so I returned it. (Moral of story: Black Friday deals are a gamble) I have great luck with the Toshiba netbook and figured that I might as well make its replacement a Toshiba. The good thing about this P755 is that it has an Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU (Sandy Bridge), running at a respectable 2.20 GHz. It is perfect for heavy web surfing, and heavy document work. I might put Ubuntu or Mint later as a dual boot.

Pfffft, I give up.

I’m dismantled my blog and starting all over.  I still have a copy of my SQL database, though.

There will be more changes later on.  You might see some old stuff one of these days.

In the meantime, here is the theme from St Elmo’s Fire.  As a kid, I thought it was boring.  It still is, but I understand it’s appeal.  You graduate…and you are moving on with a mate, new job, and new life.   The music is a gem.
