Update Success!!
Dec 21st
The update finished successfully. The gosh darn index.php got me again, but I sure fixed it! (Oh, how much I hate that blank PHP script… SILENCE ISN’T SO GOLDEN!!!)
Anyway, it works
Just an update…

I don’t really have that much to say, just updating you guys out there.
- I’m switching (right now) my linux installation from Linux Mint to Mythubuntu. No, I like Mint, but I decided that I wanted a good HTPC. Boxee was having weird issues running on Mint (I have no idea why) and I had to install plenty of dependencies that seem like they shouldn’t have been unfindable (I got them all off of the Ubuntu Archives). For the record, I DO need to install them on this new installation for Boxee, but I’m assuming it’ll work. If not, well then, maybe I’ll just use MythTV and see how that goes.
- I added some ads to the website and one to the RSS feeds. Need Revenue, or at least some recognition of my viewers existing.
Ok, well I guess I’m done.
Seriously.
Linux is in my repertoire, and I’m proud.

Well, before I get to the whole Linux deal, I might as well mention some changes to the website. If you look up, you’ll see a cool image, which I made. There are also minor improvements with the site, and I’m setting up forums (I may decide not to, but you can check them so far at forums.appsonroids.com. OK, now to the headline.
My family recently decided that our old laptop from several years ago, the WinXP era, was ready for demolition. We ordered a replacement laptop from Dell, and at some point I remembered my lifelong goal of owning a Linux machine. I specifically wanted Ubuntu, but a friend showed me Linux Mint, a derivative of Ubuntu with a nicer UI and some improvements like Flash so it works out of the box. I installed it, and my only complaint is the limits of this old laptop’s RAM and CPU. It’s one of those computers that has less than a gig of RAM, and whose CPU doesn’t even work well. But, Linux works better than the XP that was on it. And it looks great, a feat people rarely attribute to many Linux distros. Although I’m not a serious Linux user, at least not yet, and I only know one terminal command, (shutdown -h now), I’m pretty proud of myself. Too bad the web browsing isn’t great, due to the terrible RAM, and I couldn’t post this from it as a result.
Static toolbar added
Nov 20th
If you’re reading this on the website (and if you aren’t, do), then you probably notice this bar-thing along the bottom. No, this isn’t an ad. This is a new part of the website! 
If you want to share it on a social network, either hit the button that says Share This! On the bottom of each post, or hit the share button in the toolbar.
Enjoy!
Ads Added to Website
Nov 18th
I just added an add (Whoops, typo) to the website. If you find it annoying, I can remove it. However, I’d like to experiment and see how it works. It doesn’t seem too bad, but just leave a comment and let me know how YOU feel about it.
Site Updates

Yup. I changed to using an iframe embed instead of plain text pages. I also added pictures that I have made (well more art, but you get the idea).
Enjoy
