am i stupid?

perhaps i am. perhaps i should have chosen a more intelligent nicname instead of trying to be funny. i saw the nicname "village idiot" on some message board somewhere and was quite amused. after reading a few of this fellows posts i knew he was far from an idiot. in fact i would call him a comic genius. he was very witty and clever and intelligent and funny. he was also very computer savvy. i too wanted to be able to say funny, clever, witty things so i created my nicname. but alas, it takes real talent and skill to have a clown like personality and i often wonder if i measure up. so i guess i am not only a moron but an insecure one also. huh?

so i've had this blog about 2 years now and still can't figure out how to use it. i must be a moron because i keep trying. so here i am again renewing my commitment to get some blogging accomplished. let's see how far i get this time.

mostly i'm gonna talk about linux. what? a moron talking about linux? yes! i use linux full time now. it really is easy to use after getting over the first few learning hurdles. it does take a certain persistance to get over those hurdles and i see where most people give up and go back to their other operating system rut. i kept going back also but something kept nagging me to keep learning linux. finally i decided to just keep linux booted up and not boot my other operating system. i was bound and determined to learn how to do things in linux or simply not do them till i figured out how. it worked. i can do everything i used to do and more. i feel liberated. i guess we need to travel down that dark, scary road before we come into the light. try it for yourself or stay in your rut.

so that's a little bit about me and my nicname and what i'm gonna talk about on my blog. i hope to come up with something useful.
