Sandstrom would have solved this already. Then he would have had a flash back to releasing Spanish flu and have to go get drunk in China again.
(But really, this does read like a ReGenesis plot! Everything I know about influenza I learned from ReGenesis.)
Learned to convert integer to string
R command line was heaven
Typing till my fingers were red
It was the summer of 2007
Installed Dapper Drake for school
For a project that was real hard
Set up gedit for typesetting
LaTeX documents look best by far
Oh when I look back now
Hardware problems seemed to take for ever
And if I'd had the choice
I would not have bought a Broadcom wireless card
Those were the best days of my life
Why won't my mp3 files play?
Why do I have to apt-get and then install?
I can't figure out how to set my resolution
Gotta learn this system by fall
Tedious tasks made fast
By learning how to script in bash
But Nautilus freezes on me
Every time I open the Trash!
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of 2007
Googling errors messages
Ubuntu community helpful
I needed to reinstall
I guess nothing can last forever, forever, no
And now at version 9.04
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I think about ol' 6.06
Wonder how I stuck with it so long
Now my desktop runs only Ubuntu
But my laptop still dualboots Vista
Once projector support is 100%
Then I'll say hasta la vista
These are the best days of my life
It's the summer of 2009
Windows is like a drug addiction. Sometimes it takes several tries to kick it.
More like Windows is a bad stain-- it might take several washes to get it out!
Now the driver has downloaded and it looks fantastic! I spoke too soon.
An upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 hosed my polished UI yesterday because there were no nvidia glx drivers available for download. That was a bit of a shock and annoyance, but it's my own fault for not checking its availability before hitting upgrade.
Seems like there is one now in the repos but I think there's a lot of traffic because I can't seem to update.
Patiently waiting... still love Ubuntu.
Yes, let's fix the planet by changing the environment in more weird ways. That ought to work.
