Since school was canceled till the beginning of next week I've been able to push back my due date and I'll hopefully get a few more things finished. Today I managed to get Ubuntu installed on my main pc along with the apps and programming languages that I'll need. I won't ever be totally finished with this since I'll need to install more stuff as I find it. I still need to configure conky and install an ati driver, xgl, and beryl. I also started looking up some C/C++ so I've begun that as well. But since TBC was released today I imagine that I won't be getting as much of that done as I'd hope for.
