Hmm the blog shift up worked in my favour, I've fashioned a nice cave here for me to spill my brain on things not quite relevant to my everyday life but matter to me in some way or the other. Keeping my own personal blog seperate and quite recently telling live spaces to kiss my arse.

When something isn't broken you don't try to fix it, its a fairly simple rule. When something is broken, particularly computers, the hard part is knowing what do do next so much like fixing a somewhat broken system of keeping my thoughts in order the next project is to fix my lacking boot list.

Currently GRUB manages my MBR, windows boot disks don't work, I've got 1 kernel version of Fedora Core 6, there is a back up kernel in case I need to roll back and Win XP Home. I'm gonna try to wipe the main drive and use another boot loader and boot Vista alongside Server 2003 and Fedora 7. Yup, they are dropping the 'core' concept and integrating the Core and Extra repostitories...yipee? Its gonna be stress but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't enjoy it some way. Perhaps deriving pleasure from pain is a learned trait. Vista I've all but made up my mind I'm going to hate and replace with XP but I may be pleasantly surprised; the truth is you never know unless you try.


Ah boy, work. A topic that has been nothing but pure stress from mild concern to overbearing worry. Since TBB its been a bit up in the air and again I'd be a liar but if I said I enjoyed it. Some good stuff has happened recently and since I'm writing about it here it relates to IT and in some small way linux since that is the theme here. In the interview on Monday was the most at home I've felt in my whole life, when it comes to my professional side (if it can be called that). In spots I have people I can discuss electricity operated devices with but with the exception of one person that springs to mind no one that really sees things from my end or with the same scope. Monday it was different, I was in the interview talking to the two managers and I didn't have to dumb down a single word. I didn't have to explain or analogize and they got it and in many cases they agreed. If everything pulls through then I could very well be happy at work...that almost sounds blasphemous. Would be a nice lil restart new job and new operating environment at home.

You may want to check out this freebie for your boot manager headaches.

Easy BCD

Handles most Windowz and Linux OS's.

Was made especially for Vista because Vista's boot manager won't recognize anything other then itself.

Good luck on your job prospect.
