I Think I'm Getting Good At This

I just converted my primary home desktop from Windows Server 2003 (which it had been running for about three or four years) to Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

NFS shares for my Mac laptop and Myth DVR. “Real” Ruby, git, svn, nginx, and MySQL. TorrentFlux web-based torrent management. SSH and VNC access to the machine 24x7. The benefits are endless.

The biggest letdown so far? There’s no good “alarm clock” software out there for *nix. I’m used to Banshee Screamer which I’ve been using since my freshman year of college. Set it and forget it. It’s fabulous. Space bar does snooze, and you can configure everything you’d want to (snooze length, multiple alarms, etc.)

Oh well. Maybe I’ll write something. Or buy a real alarm clock. Who knows?
