Well, it’s hard to believe but summer is almost over. Come next Thursday it will be back to the books for me. I had a nice start to the summer back in May with our trip to the Dominican, which was quite awesome. The weather here this summer hardly compared to how nice it was there. I told myself the reason for going away this year was because I didn’t know when I would have the chance to again. Now that I’ve gone once it is hard to think that I couldn’t find the time and money to do it again next year.
Ever since the week after I got back from the Dominican I’ve been working at my co-op position. It’s been incredibly nice having a job where I don’t have to work in the evenings or on the weekends. Being downtown by the waterfront also made it so much better. The best part is that it isn’t coming to an end quite yet. While my co-op now officially ends next Wednesday that have agreed to let me work there part time during the school year. I am pretty happy about it all.
In other news, I recently attempted a dual boot with Windows Vista and FreeBSD. The dual booting part worked fine for the most part. I ended up deciding to try to use KDE for the desktop environment which for most peoples standards worked fine as well. However, the trick with my setup is that I am attempting to have dual monitors working, in the same fashion as I have it working under Windows. Try as I might I just couldn’t figure it out. The biggest problem seemed to be that I am working with a 20″ widescreen LCD and a 17″ LCD. From my understanding there is a certain combined maximum resolution that will work and that I am exceeding it. I have not giving up yet though, I just need to perform some more research first.
