I have been testing Jolicloud 0.9 for the past few days. It was decently usable. Although the "app store" had a very limited selection, this was not really a problem for me, because Jolicloud is based on Ubuntu and I was able to install whatever I wanted via apt-get. I tried this with kdevelop and it installed flawlessly. It also appeared in the development category of the launcher, as it should.

Version 1.0 has a completely different desktop interface. The launcher no longer has categories and only shows applications installed via the app store. Nothing installed via apt-get or synaptic appears in the launcher. Accessing those applications requires finding the terminal, which is not convenient at all. It was previously located conveniently in the accessories tab of the launcher. Now, it requires a 6 step process.

Aside from the increased inconvenience of using the new desktop, Jolicloud has thrown away its greatest asset. The old launcher was convenient and unique. It was the main advantage over all other Linux distributions. Jolicloud has now turned into just another mundane distribution with absolutely nothing remarkable about it. The social/cloud stuff is just marketing hype. I seriously doubt that will be used by many, and even if it is, it's not enough of an advantage.

Side by side or miles apart friends 4 ever close 2 ur heart

I have difficulty in closing my eyes completely. I can get them closed, but it requires effort. This is fine when I'm in the shower and trying to avoid getting shampoo in my eyes. This is a problem when I sleep. Keeping my eyes partially open throughout the night causes a lot of tears to develop. Halfway through my sleep, I run out of tears and the accretion begins. I get substantial quantities of hard, sharp crystals. I have actually cut my hands on them a few times while rubbing my eyes in the morning.

I wash out most of the eye gunk while washing my face in the morning, but there is always some residue of slime that is difficult to get out that way. For the past decade, I have been using an eye wash every day after the face wash. This has worked well until a few months ago. The composition of my eye slime seems to have changed. It no longer dissolves in any eye wash that had previously worked for me. I have residue left on my eye more than half the time now. It's irritating and sometime distorts my vision. The only thing that works for me now is wiping my eyeball with facial tissue, which is not comfortable.

I've been blogging for years. First started at the legendary Writing Up blogsite. Fantastic threads and massive comments.

But the one thing I learned is that good English - spelling and grammar is important. At least to your own ability. I'm no English tutor, but text spelling and non-use of appropriate capitals are a no, no! I can't be bothered reading that stuff. What about you?

Winter fights back in NZ...

Winter fights back in New Zealand; storms are raging through the country with winds and freezing rain. Spring will be sprung soon, but not just yet!

Stay home unless you really need to be out is the best advice. Wear a decent coat and waterproofed footwear.

Get into bed and stay there. Watch TV or listen to a radio talk-back show!

Or get a bit closer to a friend?

re:

when i go home i only see them and my friends but no one have any time for me, the frist two weeks or good but for the other six weeks i am on my own. no one to go out with or to just have some fun with. but any way i thank god that at lease i have them in my life because with out them i am like emptey room.
so as i all ways say make god the head of your life because with him we have hope. he will never faill, and he will always be there no matter what.

You’re trapped in a room with only two doors as possible exits. Through the first door there is a room with a huge magnifying glass as a roof. The blazing hot sun would instantly fry anything or anyone that enters. Through the second door there is an angry fire-breathing dragon. How do you escape?

My first answer was to wait until nighttime, but I thought of a better one. Urinate into the first room to make steam that would scatter the light. A magnifying glass only causes burning when the light is focused.
