I wish.

I wish for a lot of things, and have done so in the past too.
Fortunately a lot of my wishes have been "modest" wishes. I usually don`t ask for mutch.
Right now I wish for some of my favorite games to work on +Linux if only on wine.

I`m not a linux-pro in any way. Rather a long term n00b. I consider muself thus untill i use the termunal to get things done (and I don`t mean copy paste).

Most of my time on a PC is spendt gaming. I don`t use text-tools or other officerelated programs if I can help it. My PC is for entertainmentpurposes. Although I like tho have the option of doing so. Somethimes I meddle in the afairs of wizards and try 3D-something-something in +Blender.

As a father to a little lovely girl of soon 1,5, I have little time to spare. I have some though! And I`m left with a couple of options.

1. Straight in action that lasts max 15 min.
2. Turnbased games.

There are actually a fair share of games that match these criteria. My fav at the moment is +World of Tanks.

And I can`t get it to work in wine on Linux.

My desktop computer is atm dualboot W7 and +Xubuntu . And I`m fairly pleased with that. But as long as we are wishing for things...

I wish great games that I like would work on Linux!
Subwish: I wish they would work on wine on Linux.

And when I`m on the subject of linux: I`m a bit tired of +Ubuntu . Mind, they snare me in everytime there is a new release. (Ubuntu 13.04 is out in 2 days.) But, IDK... I like Ubuntu and its variables a lot! Don`t get me wrong. I`t just seems as though I got to move on. And I really don`t know from what. I have tried some distros in my time. Usually they are Ubuntu-based. I almost liked +Linux Mint . And I have gone trough K-L-X-ubuntu, Zorin os, Bodhi Linux, RedHat, some puppylinux variables, Gentoo, Arch and Cinnarch. (I have probably forgotten some, sorry.)

I really liked the `idea`of arch. But I had not the skill or time to put the darn thing together. I need an `out of the box` distro that I can costumize.

And then there is the desktop interfaces. My laptop is nearly 10 years old, and need a lightweight desktop interface. I have stranded on +Xfce . The reason for that is that I liked gnome 2 a lot. And xfce resembles many of the qualitys it had. Amazingly costumizable. Pretty too. And that`s another thing. I like desktop interfaces to be pretty. Windows is not pretty. Not 3.11 trough to 8 has been pretty.
I have been a fan of +GNOME for a while, but like ubuntu`s unity, Gnome 3 is just not what I`m looking for. At the moment I have Xubuntu with Cinnamon/MATE installed, and it`s pretty OK. Lxde is to basic for me.

The thing is, you like to costumize the space around you. Your home is costumized to you. If you don`t like the wallpaper, you change it. That`s what I like about most Linux desktop interfaces. They can be changed. I want my desktop to reflect me or the mood I`m in, or change my mood.

I see that the read tread is flapping about aimlessly, just bare with me a little more.

I tried Cinnarch. Cinnamon/MATE is pretty. As said before I was intriged by the idea of arch, but could not build it. Arch with a desktop interface I liked pre-installed. That I can DIG. But cinnarch are now moving away form cinnamon/MATE because it is lagging behind in development, and follows a different releasecycle that is incomaptible with cinnarch`s roling release strategy.
I was bummed. I see their point, sure, just bummed out. So I started looking for a replacement. Arch seems fun. I am familiar with Ubuntu, but I need change. So I tried +ManjaroLinux ! Wow! Is it really different? It is. It doesn`t say ubuntu anywhere! As far as I can tell, it can replace my ubuntu-dependencies.

Well. If I didn`t want to game on games like World of Tanks, my desktop would be a clean Manjaro PC.

I wish...

I have a hot wife. (she told me to write that, although it`s true.) Didn`t I tell you I used to wish for things?  Maybe more of the things I wish for will come true?

Premature daddyo?

Emily has arrived! My gorgeous baby daughter is a little premature. Born 6 weeks early at 1900 grams and 41cm she is a real beauty. However, though things look goldenfluffy pink, reality sets in. At the moment she eats trough a tiny straw in her tiny little nose. She is wery well capable of getting milk from her gorgeous mom's boobs, but 12 meals of sucking is too mutch for that little body just now. So she just enjoys breasfeeding to connect with her mom, and just practise really :-) Linda is soooo great with her. Actually during birth, I found myself married to the Iron Lady. -only with a great sense of humor :-)

How we love Emily :-) <3 <3 <3

Baby on the way.

We have a baby on the way. So we are pretty mutch redoing every room in the apartment. Even the storagerooms. The plan is to make it o'habitable for a freezer and clotes storage. Maybe even for drying clotes. The walls are soon done. Going to start on the ceelng tomorrow. Electrician will be in next week sometime to do the last wiering. Tiling the floor was completed yesterday. Been doing pretty manly things lately :-) including talking to Linda's nice belly. Oh, and it's going to be a girl. (altough I couldn't see it - or don't) We are about 22 weeks into the pregnancy.

New comic strips!!

Little girl on the can. Thinking life trough with a little 'tenses problems.

Ollis in bad shape, but generally happy about not having to do the diaper-change-shift.

Who knows what goes trough a little girls mind at apx age 1,5?

Keeping phone-salesmen waiting for a sale for 6 months is fun!
