1) Just in case LJ goes poof I created an account over at IJ with the oh so original name, donutsweeper.  I friended a few people whose IJ's I knew, but if I missed you please drop me a note so I can friend you.  I don't plan on using the journal unless LJ does disappear, but I really don't want to lose my friends.

2) Today, instead of sitting in a staff meeting today I was home playing solitare on my (at the time) internetless computer.  A much better way to spend my time I think.

Oh, it's not so much that people are actively unfriendly, I just find the forums intimidating because they use a lot of Linux geek-speak I can't follow, and it's not an atmosphere where people easily speak up and say "Could you tell me step-by-step in language your 70-year-old PC using Aunt Mildred would understand?" What I need to do is buy a book. Ooh. ::adds to list::

maybe the library has a 'linux for dummies' book?

That's kind of what I was thinking. I've been thinking about it for months and keep forgetting! Though with as long as it takes for me to get around to reading these days, I'd probably do better to find a cheap used copy on Amazon Marketplace or something.

any used bookstores near you?
