Pictures - New project...computer
I've had an extra laptop sitting around for a couple of years, since my uncle passed away, and finally decided to do something with it. To give you an idea of its age, it is running an Intel Celeron M (1.5 gigahertz single core processor) and has about half a gig of ram. I already have one windows machine and decided to try something new. So, the other day I installed ubuntu and after a day of futzing around trying to get the wireless to work, I finally have it completely up and running.
However, seeing as how factory looks bore me, I had to do something about the plain jane feel of the lid. Taking a cue from those crazy geometricly inclined people who go out into fields and piss off farmers, I decided to add a crop circle inspired paint job.   I am pretty happy about how it turned out, while slightly off center by the time I got done taping everything up and getting the design drawn out, I didn't care. And just because I can, here is a pic of my other laptop. Sadly I wasn't as creative with the visual mods, but I did at least hop up the ram on it.  On an unrelated note, my car went back to the body shop this evening to get the right bumper put back on it, so I will likely be posting up new pics of it soon as well.

Thanks guys. The sad thing is, this computer, while old and lacking processing power is so much faster with ubuntu than my other one on windows 7. Not to mention everything being open source (FREE).
