Just got back from Thanksgiving break and got a number of presentations to give this week. One for Research Writing, one for Operation Systems (computer class), and one for Microeconomics.
Three weeks left in this semester and I will be going into my last semester of college, that is pretty exciting.
Well, so I have been doing some reading on Linus Torvald for my computer class and wanted to take notes and offer my two cents as a computer nerd, as well as a place for me to include some of my research.
Linus has developed an operating system (comparable to Windows), but offers it for free. It can be downloaded all over the internet, including linuxiso.org.
I currently run Fedora Core 6 on my computer with Windows XP, in an attempt to move away from Microsoft. Why pay for Microsoft products when you can legally get identical products for free, saving hundreds of dollars!!!? Not only is it free, but safer, more secure, and more stable than Windows.

Anyway, so there's my quick nerd entry. Things with Heidi are going great, I've been greatly blessed by our relationship.
Yesterday, while eating a Panda Express, a lady came up and thanked us for wearing our sweatshirt (on the front it reads, "How can you worship a homelessman on Sunday and ignore one on Monday?" or something like that, and then a verse on the back). The lady went on to say that she has seen a homeless guy standing at a corner the past couple of days but ignored him, and after seeing our sweatshirts, felt convicted by the Holy Spirit and is now on her way to give him a meal. How awesome is that?
Well, off to more work. Hope your thanksgiving was amazing...and remember,
JESUS IS THE REASON WE CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!!!
