Work.. Stupid Software and Decisions

Posted by Andrew on June 11, 2008 under Uncategorized |

Well; i write this half-way through the day as i am battling with backup exec and a DAT72 auto-load.. trying to make it work and failing nicely so i upgrade the 3 server’s backup exec.. well currently halfway thought it.. I also have the problem of escaping my current work situation.. i have a few opportunities i have been offered and have so far knocked them back much to the the disappointment of a few close friends but it seems like i have no choice as i am beginning to realise i no longer can work in this environment that i currently am in.. It is to “closed” circle and bypassing. It is a wierd enviroment and it worries me alot because of what goes on and where i want to go.. I havet he support of my folks and my GF, whom i love dearly on what i do they will.. My folks i know are agaisnt the decision to walk away but they will support me which is cool..so yea.. the whole leaving the current employment is a scare.. so for now i am keeping to myself and keeping the pain inside which isn’t helping to well probably helping my headaches i am now starting to get..

On a IT note; debian lenny looks nice and stable; i am surprised at how functionally viable it is as a desktop of course it isn’t the easiest system to install and configure but it works well with an encrypted lvm. Ubuntu 8.04 is also another good system, runs beautifully though i notice it does struggle on slow/old systems such as a p3 with low resources.. E17, a great desktop environment i have been playing around with on some systems, which is now completely broken and borked on my laptop which i am currently do not know how to fix it so i have it back.. the only thing i think it is lacking is the system tray though there are many other trays out there it would be nice to see it included sometime… but still for now my main desktop is gnome.. it is light yet fucntional…
