Motorists around here seem very aware of and courteous towards cyclists. My main ride takes me across only a few intersections, but drivers often slow and stop to let me cross. I don’t think I’m addicted to biking, but I enjoy it more than I ever thought I would. It’s a nice workout, but at the same time just so… relaxing.

I’ve been eating less crap lately. Still not doing “great”, and I am up from my lowest. I spent nearly 6 months in the low 190s, now I bounce tween about 198 and 203. I believe some of it to be muscle though, cause it hasn’t seemed to effect how my jeans and such fit.

I just drank right after eating a sandwich. (tuna melt!) I know I shouldn’t, but I was really thirsty.

I didn’t have any fries in the month of July. Ok, it’s not quite over yet, but not planning on any tonight… do I “cheat” and maybe have some tomorrow and count it as being July still?

I miss Panther. And Shadow. And Rebel.

I haven’t written anything in way too long. For here, FFD, or for DM. I miss it. Haven’t done any YouTube videos either. I can’t seem to wrap my head around the whole thing lately. Maybe this is the start of getting that mojo back?

I have two fridges in my kitchen.

I should visit my Grandma this week.

I’m back on OKC and POF. We’ll see how it goes this time around.

I bought non-sugar free Popsicles today because I wanted the root beer and banana ones.

I forgot my good water bottle at the gym today.

No, the second fridge isn’t being used. I just haven’t found someone to help me haul it to the garage yet.

My cold from two weeks ago is still hanging on. Going through a ton of tissues every day. ::sniffle::

Is it bad that seeing profiles on OKC and POF that are just full of sloppy grammar and typos and such just turn me off to that person right off the bat?

I have my 25 year HS reunion tonight. I have mixed feelings about it. I’m still very much a wall flower in such situations. I was very… well, in many ways, anti-social in high school. Had very few friends… and only a couple I would have considered close friends. Having a drug dealer of a step-dad in the house puts a bit of a damper on socializing I think. Never wanting to be in a situation of possibly inviting friends over, etc.

I could try and blame my weight too… but I wasn’t THAT heavy in school. Yes, I was overweight, I was maybe 230-240 when I graduated… I suppose it made for a nice buffer zone.

I got a bit sunburned on my head, so haven’t shaved it for a few days.

Finally got Win7 installed on my Aunt’s laptop for her. Tried to convert it for Linux, but couldn’t find a driver for the wi-fi. Had to install Win98 on it to get the Win7 upgrade to take.

I’ve been to the store twice in the last week or so, and both times I’ve forgotten to get dish soap.

I should go do dishes, then will have to start getting ready for tonight. Whee fun.

Ok, with the new laptop I’m thinking there are times I’ll be parked in the living room, but want to access my files on the desktop. I poked around a bit and had to piece together a couple of tips to get things setup right.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron uses Nautilus-share to handle the file sharing. So open a location and right-click on a folder you want to share… towards the bottom you should see “Sharing Options”. If you don’t, try this in the terminal…

sudo apt-get install nautilus-share

If it is already installed, you’ll get a message saying so. If not, you should be good to go… after you do the the following; in terminal run this -

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Then in the Global Settings section add the following line somewhere:

usershare owner only = False

Save, close gedit, and restart everything and you should be good to go. No say you want to share your Pictures folder, open your Home folder, right-click on Pictures and click that Sharing Options menu item.

If you want to just allow read access, only use the top check box “Share this folder”, give it a new name if you want. If you want to allow write access, there’s “Allow other people to write in this folder” check box. They will need a login on the computer doing the sharing to get at this though. If you want to allow just anyone access, there’s the “Guest access” option. You probably don’t want to combine that with write access, but that’s just me.

Anyways, after this… my windows laptop had no problems seeing the folders I shared.
