My most favorite editor is always Vim for 10 years. One of reason I switched my laptop to Ubuntu is that I can use Vim anytime I want. Anyway, I use RedHat-based distribution more than 5 years. Switching distribution for personal use just likes a painful process. I don't know much about Debian-based distribution like Ubuntu. Luckily, most things work out of box. I have just found one thing different in Ubuntu an in Fedora Core. Vim in Ubuntu didn't restore my last cursor position.

Since I have migrated my laptop to Ubuntu, it is necessary to prepare a new build environment for BTQueue. I would like to officially confirm that BTQueue for Windows will be continued. In addition, I upgraded to Python 2.4.3 powered by python.org. However, building BTQueue in Win32 platform is not as easy as in Linux or other platform because of its specific dependencies. So, this is a good chance to share this knowledge to whoever interesting in customizing BTQueue for personal use. Follow me.

Actually, I used Post2Blog for a half year without problem. Unfortunately, I'm now on Ubuntu. No more windows applications from now on. .Net applications may be compatible to Mono but I don't want to waste my time to try it out. So I have to find a new off-line blog publishing tool for Linux. I found several candidate but none of them officially support Drupal and my blog engine is Drupal.

I have used Adsense Status for Google Deskbar for sever months without any critical issues. However, now I'm on Ubuntu so there is no Google Deskbar here. By the way, there should be this kind of thing available on Ubuntu to help me realize latest status of my revenue at a glance during work hours. I found Adsense Notifier for Firefox. It is a good one but I still think Adsense Status looks better.

Last night, I migrated my laptop to Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake as I mentioned yesterday. Just to note that my laptop is not linux friendly in anyway. Sound works fine but connecting to external CRT or projector doesn't work and there is no solution right now. Unfortunately, I really want this capability so I decided to exchange my laptop with one of my wife. It is BenQ S52-M36. Cool! Everything seems to work just fine so I installed Dapper last night. As a result, now I have almost my works running on Ubuntu including this post.

Today, I decided to migrate OS in my laptop. Actually, all of my works are almost based on Linux or scripting language like Python or PHP. It would be better to have Linux on my laptop instead of Windows-based machine. However, OpenOffice.org is not as mature as I expected. As a result, Windows system should be still remained some way. In fact, currently, I am running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake in VMware on Windows XP host. So, I would switch the configuration so that Ubuntu is my main operating system and Windows XP would run in virtual machine instead.
