I got an hour before I head out

too lodge on a night where I'd like to stay at home and have a night off by myself. I'm looking forward to summer. At the moment, I have very little energy to do much of anything but there's 3 more months of this until summer and 3 more months of this beginning September. Then no more chairs for awhile, if not ever. I'm done with that portion of the lodge.

Nintendo is to release their new controller "Switch" tomorrow. I'm not overly excited about this. Most likely its going to be $499 here in Canada. There's been lots of speculation about Switch. Sure the graphics look good and there a re lots of improvements under the hood. I just got the recent New Nintendo XL update and I'm hoping to get the Korg DS-12 synthesizer from Detune soon. I'm going to just stick with my Zelda edition XL. I'm in no hurry to buy Switch unless there's a killer application in there like a video capture card. Maybe the share button has something to do with video capture. So far video capture has been a 3rd party thing worth getting. If Switch closes the door on it being backwards compatible, then I might Homebrew my device. Not sure on that either.

Tomorrow, I'm up about noon out the door for a 4pm shift. I was supposed to go in for a 1-9 shift but I just got a call that my 1-9 shift was cancelled. I'm ok with that I have a 10-6pm shift Saturday. Too think I have another 10-12 weeks of this. Is it summer yet? Anyway, that's all for now.

I hope to finish this

Space Vulture novel this week. Up next I'm reading the Star Trek series "The Vulcan's soul." I think I might have read a few Trek books from the Alan Dean Foster series way back in the day. I've got the complete "Vulcan's soul" trilogy, so I may as well, most likely this will take me up to March. 

I had such a hard time trying to install Linux lUbuntu on my Windows Xp system last night. I got the iso but I'm not able to install it along Xp. I even tried to install it on my laptop, with no success. A colleague I'll be seeing next week at work knows Linux very well and I'll ask him if he can with "Team Viewer" go into my system and install from it from there, and Wine. One things is for certain when it comes to installing Linux: I don't know what I'm doing. 

Its been quite a year with losing so many pop stars. First (if that wasn't enough) we lost David Bowie. Then Prince, and then George Martin. The other day we lost George Michael. I was never a fan Michael's work. The real shocker for me was losing Bowie. With the Rolling stones up there in age, I got a feeling we're going to lose one of them soon. 

I also wanted to Home brew my new Nintendo 3ds and that looks very complicated. Since I've owned this device last March, I have yet to buy 1 game. I've got a demo of "Bravely Second," and the game cards that came with the system. It's not that the games are that expensive, I've just been buying music apps lately. I've seen some pre owned games at Best buy for like $15. Not much going on for the rest of the day, although I'd like to make a Gadget jam after wrestling, when Anne is done with face time. Anyway, that's all for now.
