AHW 5/21/14-Successful Windows 8.1 and Ununtu Dual-Boot

<Post>

I am SUCCESSFUL!!

I am currently installing Ubuntu, to my, Acer Aspire V5, to create my Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu dual-boot, as told previously today. One thing that I am wishing for, is that the touch-screen driver works out of the installer (which it does). As told on mine, and maybe Hunter's blogs, one of the laptops I got from Mr. Joseph, the touch-pad mouse didn't work, it only worked, in the installer.

<Update1>

So it turns out, the touch-screen does actually work, just a little worse than I though it was, but I can still try the new mobile Ubuntu, that the Ubuntu Devolpers have just finished, it might be really good. Anyway, I'll post a video later tonight, after I edit the book discusion video, of my Ubuntu boot-up setup, and me using the touch screen.

AHW 5/21/14 Morning Writing

               So, it turns out I won’t get my game on the date its released, because GameStop is too lazy to have it sent to them because I changed it to the special package to late, so they’ll ship it from the factory on the release day.

               Anyways, I am planning on tri-booting my laptop, with Windows 8.1, Ubuntu, and Mac OS X. I am currently only going to dual-boot with Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu, because when I install the Mac OS, I want it to be touchscreen compatible, which is possible, proven on Microsoft’s Surface Pro 2, dual-booted with Android and Mac OS, and pretty amazing.

               I’m currently writing this in the morning, and… there’s the bell. So I guess I’ll have to go in a minute. So, currently, I’m planning, which should happen today, to dual-boot Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu.

At-Home Writing-5/13/14

I am really excited for a game that comes out the 27th, it's called Watch_dogs. It is a really cool game, with really cool features. I'm saving up to buy the special edition, which has some pretty cool stuff in it.

The game itself has HUNDREDS of different NPC's, and fun little in-game things. One, of the two, really cool features, is that at anytime, someone can come into your Single Player world, and try to hack into your system, and you then have to try to stop them. Another cool feature, is that you can connect to the game from an app your phone/tablet, and help the player, or challenge the player to do various things.

Another thing, you can do, is call in you "crew," and they can do different things with you against another "crew," or team, and the possibilities are ENDLESS!* It was meant to come out in November, 2013, but they pushed the date back a bit, because they had to make it better. A conspiracy I had, was that they just did this too gain hype.

*Possibilities are actually end-able, just they are so many of them, I decided to exaggerate just a tiny bit.

So yeah, that's the game I really, REALLY want, not some bad Titanfall(AMAZING)/Halo(Also USED to be Amazing) mock-off (Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare). Are though there are other games that look good, this is the game I'm looking forward to the most.

HTML Code-5/12/14-100TH POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In-Class Writing/At-Home Writing

WARNING: I am writing this in html!

Yayy!! It's my 100th post!

(Including drafts :( *sadface*)

So, I looked at my grade, and I think I'm going to need people to Sherpa me in a class like Spanish, someone like Leo or Ryan, someone who does really well in Spanish, and usually doesn't forget their work, I think it would really help me pick up my Spanish grade.
So, this is something that happened on my way home from school, when I had gotten off the bus, it had started to rain! Not TOO hard, lightly, mostly. But as soon as I got to my front door, and my brother walked up and saw me, it started to POOR!! Really hard. After that, my mom came home, and said that she was waiting for me at the bus stop, and somehow I had gotten home early. WOW. What a day today. I pretty good one I'd say!
Well, I guess that's both my In-Class and At-Home Writing for the day! Hope you read my blog next time.

In School Writing-5/9/14-Ubuntu Opportunity

     Mr. Joseph gave my friend, Hunter, and I the old laptops, because he doesn't know the passwords to them, so we are going to install Ubuntu on them, over the weekend. I hope this doesn't interfere with any plans my mom made, that involve going into the OUTER-NET!! Simon no like the outer-net, Simon stay inside with technology.

     Anyways, I might go to this really crappy outdoor skate park in Berkeley, and maybe do some other fun stuff, like use technology.

Extra Ubuntu Photo


     So Mr. Joseph told me to just write, so I am. I'm just typing, typing away, fixing my errors as I go on, because that's what I was told to do. I'm really bored, and a little hungry. So over the summer, I am going to work out and exercise and loose some what weight so I can be "Strong like bull," and I'll be all tough and stuff.
     I'm also going to try to make some money, and save up for some stuff, like some games and stuff on eBay and Amazon. So my mom said she was going to buy the Watch_Dogs game, so I'm saving up $70 so I can get the limited edition, and the seasons pass, and some stuff on eBay,and some weapons and headphones. So yeah, I hope I don't get bored this summer, because I found some things to do.

April 23 2014-Letter of Complaint-Draft

Dear     ,
     I am a student at Birmingham Covington School, in the Birmingham Public Schools Distract, and I have a complaint about the computers at our school. After April 8th, 2014, Microsoft stopped supporting Windows XP, so our distract is updating our laptops and desktops to Windows 7, but the laptops hardware will probably be slow running Windows 7. Though if it isn't slow, I still think our distract need newer laptops. All of our laptops our slow, have old hardware, and are probably as old as Windows XP itself, so I think the school should get new Windows 7 laptops.
