Comment My friend's blog about building a green house (Score 2, Informative) 274

I'm sure you've come across lots of resources on the internetz, but here's another one. My friend is building a 'green' house, as 'greenly' as possible, given certain limitations and other objectives. It's being built on the west coast up here in Canada. She has been blogging about it from day 1, noting all the tough technology decisions, regulations, etc. along the way. http://www.buildinggreenbc.com/

I agree. When I have to type something on someone else's computer these days, I'm almost embarrassed to do it in front of them because my QWERTY has gotten so slow, and I look like I don't know my way around a keyboard. Doing a day of QWERTY every once in a while would be a good idea.

I have Ubuntu 9.04 on my laptop and go to the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver (Canada). Connecting to the wireless network and VPN were both smooth as a baby's bottom. Collaborating with classmates on team projects has been peachy. I came across one unsolvable problem, although it was also a problem for the Mac users: working with an Excel spreadsheet that relied on a massive amount of macros. Luckily this spreadsheet was used for a team project so I could just work on one of my teammate's laptops.
