flying along

resolved a lot of problems this morning.

my wifi issue was due to not knowing what my ssid was... i forgot i removed the spaces in it.
damn.

i also had to go to the multiverse to get 915resolution again as i was running my widescreen at 1024x768 (which sucks).. it looks like my old instructions were for kubuntu and of course now i'm in gnome. one slight difference is that after installing the package the new resolution isn't automatically in there.. restart it and all is fine.

i also got the newest version of automatix (my love) at www.getautomatix.com and installed all kinds of packages that i needed without the pain of thought.

finally, i've found that firefox 2 doesn't seem to react to the backspace key the way i would like (by going back to the last page... ) well i found a little site explaining this was the result of a bug fix. fuck that, i want to go back! so anyway, the solution is to type about:config in your browser's address bar and then go to browser.backspace_action and set the value to 0.

all is right in the world again... well i'll let you know as i install and fix things.. chow
