Day 417 of 1000
Christian has been stressed out about a test he took about a week ago. He was pretty sure he was going to get a score of about 70%, but was hoping for 80%. He messaged me today that he got a 94%. We were both happy. I am happy about something else. I have spent a lot of the day loading a Linux development environment into a virtual machine on my computer. That is part of my job! I have to pinch myself when I think about what I am doing for a living. It does not get much better than that.
I have been pretty down on the change to Ubuntu Unity from the normal desktop that they had previously, but after talking to my buddy, Andrew about Windows 8 and Android, I realized there is a pretty big shift in desktop architecture going on and I better get on board or I would be left behind. Thankfully, I have a very cool project going on with Linux and the Microsoft Kinect right now, so I decided I would do the development on a Linux platform rather than Windows. I am not all the way to loving the whole new Unity thing, but I am to the point where I can see it is really not so bad. Give me a few more days and I might really love it. I will keep you posted.
