I am trying out several new blog sites. The blog that I had been maintaining for over one year suddenly crashed, and it has not resumed activity. This was over two weeks ago, so I have been in and out of blogs, testing sites, since that time. I will have to see if this one shows itself to be adequate.
I have taken a break from my studies to do some blogging, focusing on one of my favorite topics. I am watching The Science Channel now, with a program focusing on Saturn and it's moons. It is a fascinating show, though it is not new. It premiered sometime during 2007, as I have seen bits and pieces of it, randomly. Tonight is the first time that I did sit down, watching the program, fully.
The show delves into information about Saturn, and the fascinating updates that have been revealed by the Cassini-Huygens space probes. Several astronomers and researchers have given details about the probe, talking about the procedures that were followed to launch it, the time it took to reach Saturn, and several of the intriguing details that were shown from the Cassini images.
Many updates were made from the information provided by Cassini. Some of the most interesting information came from studies of Saturn's largest moon, Titan. It seems that Titan is a probable candidate for studies of our own Earth during it's beginnings. The images taken by Cassini have shown that Titan is similar to Earth, during our planet's early stages. This moon has flowing rivers and rain, though it is believed that the liquid is methane. Also, Titan has mountains and active volcanoes.
The Cassini probe flew through the rings of Saturn, giving more detailed images of their structure. The rings are massive chunks of ice that steadily collide, break apart, and recombine. They are extremely expansive, and close-up images have shown that some of Saturn's moons actually revolve around the planet within the ring system.
Saturn has many rings, some of which are extremely large, and others that only can be seen when close to the planet. It was the reknowned scientist and astronomer Galileo Galilei who first observed the rings, which began a multitude of studies about the fascinating structure around the planet. Even today, scientists still are studying information taken by images, and from details sent through satellite passings, including the photographs that were delivered by Cassini.
There is so much information that is available from the recent studies by the probes sent to Saturn. Scientists are eagerly studying all of the details, which include stunning knowledge about the intricate ring system, as well as the moons of the planet. Some fascinating and recent images show that Rhea, another of Saturn's moons, may have it's own ring system!
Rhea and Titan merely are two of the sixty-two known moons of Saturn. Fifty-three of them have been given names. Some of the moons are small, no larger than asteroids. Rhea is a mid-sized moon, similar in size to the moon Enceladus. However, Enceladus is gaining interest because studies are showing that this moon is similar to Titan, with an atmosphere, a geologically active surface, and the possibility of flowing liquid methane.
I do enjoy studies of the planets, and of subjects dealing with outer space. I somewhat regret that I did not follow with this particular path when I was a college student. Yet, so many more things of interest have been revealed about outer space since then, that I enjoy watching science programs, and reviewing The Internet, for the latest updates. Stay tuned!

Got my bracelets for Wyatt a few weeks ago. They're having a golf tourney soon, and there's going to be a big martial arts festival that we're setting up for later on in the year.

Love that kid, swear to God.

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.

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?
