So I’m back from Leiria, had a blast over there and I wish I could go there more often. Maybe even live there. Good times with good friends.

Sometimes I start thinking I’d really like to move away from Lisbon and Leiria looks like a perfect target. I’d be really tempted to move there if I had a somewhat ok(ish) job offer.

Moved to Ubuntu 10.04 on the Desktop, figured since I&#8217;ve been doing all my gaming on the Xbox I don&#8217;t really need Windows though I really enjoyed Win7. The only thing bugging me is that <a href="http://www.linuxhardware.org/nvclock/" target="_blank">nvclock</a> still doesn&#8217;t support my 250GTS nvidia card and I can&#8217;t slow down the card&#8217;s fan like in Win7 with some program I can&#8217;t remember the name of. Temperatures still remain acceptable while not gaming and at least my computer doesn&#8217;t sound like it&#8217;s about to take off. Network and file sharing worked right out of the box with the mac since it was already set up for a SMB network, that was a nice surprise following the struggle to get the mac working together with Win7.

8:08PM and the sun is about to set and I really wish I could be back at Old Beach, this perfect little coffee house(?) slash bar right next to the beach open 24h a day in S. Pedro de Moel drinking a ‘Piña somethingicantremember’ milkshake and having a chat.

Been playing a lot of Forza Motorsport 3, Batman: Arkham Asylum and Alan Wake on the Xbox though I haven&#8217;t touched it the past few days since the nerd in me keeps wanting to fiddle around with Ubuntu and make it <em>just the way I like it</em>.

Went a couple of times to this bar where I live with a couple of friends. Never been there in my life before though it’s right in front of this gym I used to go to. My friends don’t even live here and they’re the ones that took me there, funny.

Also, I need a better wifi router. This one keeps dropping wifi. Gotta talk with a friend of mine who can possibly make me a good deal on a better router.

That’s it for now. Cheers.

PS: My current webhost is HORRIBLY SLOW.
