Ever have this problem that the room where you have your desktop is just to cold to sit in and write blog posts. Since many are watching winter heating costs it’s hard to know what to do my own desktop has too many attachments to place it in my living room I have on one hard drive windows7 the other a laptop hard drive with dual boot of windows xp and ubuntu studio.When I boot with both hard drives connected windows 7 messes up Grub and makes the linux partition unreadable.
This acquires me to disconnect each hard drive as I use them another problem is that my nvidia graphics driver while it runs near perfect on Ubuntu studio it will only show in 24 and not 32 bit graphics. Windows 7 has some kind of problem reading the memory and the only solution it to remove some of my ram when using the nvidia driver for the geforce en210 on windows7.So inshortI have to connect/disconnect hardware very often not to mention configuring phones, cameras and have a printer but never use it. Here is a tip save your files in Google docs and go to the library and print them it’s not only cheap but libaries have much better quality printers and if it’s not printing correctly the library workers can worry about it that’s why you pay your taxes for services like this and not banks.Someone said to me the other day that I should be using free public access computers to do this and save my power and heating costs, But as you know public libraries do not like people coming in using usb devices and changing the OS or using live usbs and most of them have just IE and won’t allow you to install a decent browser like Chrome, Opera and Firefox.
So not going into too much more detail but if I wish to use my desktop I need to heat another room. I can tweet from my wii and sit on my couch or sit at a freezing cold desktop. If I were to bring the desktop into my living room it would be too big and would have little sunlight which is one of the reasons I moved my computer into a brighter room my alternatives are buy a tablet, buy a laptop or just wait until it gets warmer but I think I have enough gadgets that I do not use much already . How about you have you also a similar problem or solution to anything mentioned here in this post.
