More Linux

Been playing with the Terminal lately. I've been wondering why I just didn't go with a Terminal only install. Oh that's right, because I want to actually surf the web with all the images and stuff. I'm sure I could have found a way to do that. But yes, I'm still loving having Linux on my home computer. It's just wonderful to be able to pop open a Terminal and do things.

Ran across some YouTube videos lately that's teaching me more about bash scripting. I probably should pick up a book on it, that would be way cool.

One script came in very handy. It gives me the ability to record my screen. I figured it would be way difficult and time consuming. But nope, not with the script. I'll have to post a link to where I got it from later. It just rocks.

So yes, I'm giving Ubuntu Linux version 11.whatever a two thumbs up. I hear there's a version 12 out there in beta land. I've not upgraded yet, still waiting for the OS to tell me it's available and I'll let the sucker upgrade itself. So yep good times for sure.

Suicidal Ideation

Ever Wonder

 Ever just sit and wonder about the things to wonder about? There are so many things that you can enjoy and think about or wonder about. It's just possible that you would be able to do such a thing. I'm not certain how it would go for you, as I am only a person. I don't know how you feel. So here we are, just waiting for something amazing to happen. It doesn't happen all the time unfortunately. It can be annoying at best.

Multidimensional Arrays

Ah Multidimensional Arrays. Nothing too crazy in JavaScript. Just a little bit of this and that. So typical arrays are fun and easy. You create them like so: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = "Red"; colors[1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = "Blue"; Well that's fine and dandy, but what if you want to associate something with each of those? For example, what if you wanted to create a menu? You'll need at minimum a link name and a target. We could do something like this: var colors = new Array(); colors[0] = new Array(); colors[0][0] = "red.htm"; colors[0][1] = "Red"; colors[1] = new Array(); colors[1][0] = "yellow.htm"; colors[1][1] = "Yellow"; colors[2] = new Array(); colors[2][0] = "blue.htm"; colors[2][1] = "Blue"; function createColors() { document.write('<ul id="colors">'); for (var i = 0; i < colors.length; i++) { var link = colors[i][0]; ...
