Ugh...

I’m really beginning to hate the commute home at night. On any given evening I can be stuck creeping along the Gardiner, 401, 410, 427 for up to two hours. After, what is usually, already a long work day – these drives are brutal. It seems so arbitrary the delays and congestion as well. It often seems like there is no good reason for the delay other than people’s inability to cooperate, merge and get on with getting home. This is a bad place.

This morning I had two dogs snuggling into me. Tanga and Ellie. The bed was warm, comforting and the house silent. Clearly a good place.

In my ever-changing linux distro install – I switched to Kubuntu 7.10 last night. Kubuntu is simply Ubuntu with the KDE desktop environment. I have to say Ubuntu improves significantly with each release. It is impressive for a free OS. I was able to install and update Firefox with only a few clicks (Add program) and wow! my webcam worked with Kopete so friends and family can see my ugly mug if they so desire. Overall I’m very happy with the install. I’m trying to update KDE to 4.0… It looks spiffy.

I’m leaving work early today to see the Sabres v. Lightning with my Dad! 🙂
