So I fail at blogging apparently. But that's ok! because I highly doubt anyone is reading this.
I'm still having problems with fricking Ubuntu. I swear, programmers really need to think about what the computer actually can do before making a program. I'd get into the technical details, but I doubt anyone who stumbles across this derelict, slow moving section of cyber-space will care...ah what the hell, I'll tell you anyway. So I'm getting GRUB error 18. After much painful google searching, I manage to find the reason. My hard drive is too big. Now gather around children and let me tell you a story.
A long, long time ago, back in the lat 90's, computers were just starting to pass the 8.45 GB limit. And the brilliant programmers had used a system that could only see up to 8.45. So, startled by computers *gasp* advancing, they made a new system for hard drives up to 33.8 GB. And guess what happened. So, they made a NEW system, for hard drives up to 137 GB. My computer came with an 80 GB hard drive, which is rather small (my iPod is the same size). So, I eventually managed to get a 500 GB external hard drive, which meant I had all the space I would ever need (until I get a new computer at least). By the time I decided to try out Ubuntu, there was roughly 12 GB left on my C drive. So I install Ubuntu on my external, still at this time blissfully unaware of error 18 and everything that came with it. What I'm almost certain happened was that I managed to install Ubuntu right up to and over that 137 GB limit, so the BIOS can read MOST of the files, but not all of them. That would explain why I can't get my wireless internet, which even if I didn't have the keys for is so crappily encrypted a 5 year old randomly bashing the keyboard could hack it, to work.
Wasn't that a FUN story. And I really hope that that's is the actual problem, otherwise I'll feel like a real douche looking back at this... :D
Anyway, time to get back to math and not post again for another few months. Have fun!
