Ubuntu Take 2
I have decided to try to keep myself busy and give Ubuntu 8.4.1 LTS (64bit) a try. I have used Ubuntu before and really enjoyed using it… but back then I was using the XFCE version (xUbuntu) as I was trying to run some Linux OS’s on low spec systems… To which I found Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux worked best.
I have myself a new Laptop and just ordered a USB 8GB thumb Drive which I hope to run Ubuntu from. This will let me run Windows XP as normal but give Ubuntu a shot at impressing me again.
I think its a cool idea because it will show me how far its moved on since I last used it (xubuntu 6.06 Dapper Drake) which should have some big changes now 
I think ill write up some guides on how to install onto a thumb drive and have it boot as its own system. if it can be done on Windows XP ill even make a video guide on how to do it.
If it sucks and runs slow ill maybe give Damn Small Linux or Puppy Linux a shot and see how they run… Or maybe un a multi boot Thumb drive and have them all run.
The main goal is to get the whole system running and all my hardware setup perfectly. If this can be done then I may switch fully as I like using open source software and love anything that is free and community driven.

This is a LONG read but it is well worth it. If you cant read it all please read just part of it.
Sadly a friend of mind found out this quote a few days ago:
The research, which clearly illustrates how a father biologically responds to the birth of his children, also explains why thousands of men become clinically depressed when separated from their children to the point of actually committing suicide.

It was not easy writing the above headline. But when Psychology Today, one of the most respected lay journals on clinical psychology releases research illustrating that fathers are empowered biologically no differently than women when it comes to nurturing children, all keywords are needed.
This evidence hits hard at social workers, family court judges and elected legislators who abide by archaic research and outdated laws which state that it is in the best interest of the child to be with the divorced mother - not the divorced father.
“Here is the first hard evidence that men are biologically prepared for fatherhood,” says Psychology Today. “In fact, this is the first evidence that to nurture is part of man’s nature.”

Scoutle is your personal blogging slave!
Scoutle is a new blogging tool that follows in the footsteps of sites such as Entrecard and Spottt. It does have a twist to it that is unlike the others though. With Entrecard you need to spend a lot of time dropping card and promoting your blog… But with Scoutle you have a tiny little slave to do all of the work for you!
Meet your Scout (I call mine Nicole) and she walks around my fave blogs who also use Scoutle! She finds all the interesting posts I may like and send them to my widget on my blog.
All I do is find new blogs I like and get Nicole to say hi for me. She will then go walking around all of my fave blogs and meet other Scouts and as she talks to them she finds out new things.
Here is a video that tries to explain how everything works:
I have only been with this network for a week and have found some cool sites. It has a nice ranking system that I have not totally worked out yet though 
I am told that they are working on a new version of Scoutle that should be out soon!
One cool thing I really liked about Scoutle is that you can sign up using OpenID. This is one of the first networks I have seen do this, which is awesome!
When you sign up (Do it now to get more points!) please remember to add me to your network!
Here is some info from the Scoutle website:
1. Sign Up & Login
Sign up, activate your account and login.
2. Create a Scout and let him walk
Your Scout is your personal webcrawler. He will walk over the Internet and meet other Scouts. To help your Scout walk, give him some space by installing the small Stage on your website. This will not only activate your Scout, but will also bring other Scouts to your website.
3. Check & Connect
The Scouts your Scout will meet are selected based on a range of criteria, like interests, networks, connections and more. Be sure to check his results every now and then, visit the websites and if you find them interesting, start a Connection. This will help your website become more valuable.
4. Grow & More
You will not only see more visitors come to your website, but you will also get more points, which means your website is more appreciated. Discover all other options Scoutle has to offer. Create or join Networks or search in the Guide. Of course, new options will be available in the future as well. A new way of browsing the Internet is born!
HAVE FUN!!!
