New Beginnings
Just a short post to update all my regular readers out there (yes, both of you) that I start my new job next Wednesday and I started school full-time today. Yes, today. I have started in the BS – IT Security Emphasis program at Western Governor’s University. I don’t have a projected finish date yet, but their competency-based model means that I can finish my degree much faster than with a standard program. (Word from one of the admissions counselors is that IT professionals going in to the IT program tend to finish their Bachelor in around 2 years.)
Although I shouldn’t have to remind anyone I will: everything I say (well, type) here is my opinion and does not reflect the views or opinions of my employer or the school which I attend. With that said I have only one small grievance about my first day at WGU: every link in the student portal has a target of _blank or uses a js call to open a new window. Grrrr. My opinion: bad design idea.

Sjan,
Hey long time since I got to talk with you… I have a question for you… I got a new Dell Laptop a studio 1725, runs good but, its OS is Ubuntu Linux ?”jaughty jackalope”? 9.04, well I play a online game called City of heroes and well the system tells me my drivers for my nvidia video card are out of date and yet I cant find a way in ubuntu to update them.. So I have a couple questions, What is your thoughts on Ubuntu or linux in general? (I am thinking of going back to windows unles you think its a good thing to stick with what I got) and would you happen to know how to update the drivers??? I tried to follow the steps I found in google but not working for me..
Aside from that I am glad you are back in work and the classroom. I’m doing classes with Capella online school nothing great but hey its a class i figure. So please feel free to respond whenever no big rush on the questions.. I just sat and thought who do I know that is scarry smart with this programing stuff and your name came to to mind first…
Hope all is well
Puppy

This may be the instruction set you are looking for: http://www.detector-pro.com/2009/04/how-to-install-nvidia-linux-display.html
As far as Linux vs Windows you know I have a well-voiced bias in favor of Linux ;) But really, what it comes down to is what you are comfortable using and what works best for you.
