Trying to build up enough enthusiasm to go outside and wash the car. It's not going well. I haven't managed build up enough to put on pants yet and it's 10:35.

Sidekick is watching the Westworld remake. I can't bring myself to do it without feeling that I am soiling the memory of Yul Brynner.

HP Laptop back on Windows 7. Ubuntu experiment will be picked up in a few months.

Now, to fetch a screwdriver and slap the Windows 7 hard drive back in. I'll keep the Ubuntu install on the drive. Want to see what a massive apt-get upgrade does to it.

I have to say I am pleasantly surprised by the Ubuntu install on the laptop. Battery life isn't as good as when running Windows 7 nor as it as responsive, but, it doesn't crash like it did in the past. It has successfully suspended and awoken all week. Has not lost the wireless connection. I'd liken it to Windows Vista1.

  1. The Vista towards the end of its life where they fixed the egregious problems.

@kdfrawg This was done for ballast over enjoyment.

@kdfrawg Bag of Cheetos and a Reeses Cup. In theory, Fettuccini Alfredo is later.
