A small-town pot store having its grand opening.
Nice store, too.
Yeah, I know I said I’d be away from the computer most of this weekend. But when I logged on for a quick check, my operating system it informed me rather nastily that it needed to be reinstalled. 🙁
Consider this to be testing … 1 … 2 … 3 …
Uh huh. Yaaaas.
We can see that you are ‘installing an operating system’.
*I* don’t have an ‘operating system’ store just down the road. 😉
Zing! Okay, ya got me, UnReconstructed.
(You will note that I didn’t say this store was down any road near me. If it were, though, I admit that the actual OS I was installing at my actual desk on my actual computer … would have driven me to it.)
a little scary but wicked good
Connection? Hastabe! Waiting for the other shoe.
LarryA — Oh goodness, no. No connection.
Interesting way some minds work hereabouts. But NO connection.
Probably late summer for word on the wicked good scary thing. And I don’t want to disappoint anybody; it’s nowhere near as big as going into the legal pot business!
That’s so cool — a legal-weed store full of customers of pretty much every age group and both sexes. And they all look clean, decent, and respectable. Even if they sorta staged the shot for marketing purposes, it’s notable and impressive.
I’m curious about Linux “nastily” needing a re-install. Doesn’t sound “Linuxy” to me. Of course, one never knows what Shuttleworth is up to. Err, or … Mint? (Don’t remember.)
Sometimes, I’ve seen an update “require” a reboot, but that’s usually either a new kernel, or a new glibc, or SSH. And, you really can put off rebooting until it suits you to do so.
It is time for a Linux update, anyhow.
The legal weed business sounds about as exciting as the legal moonshine business.
In the Ubuntu world (mine is Lubuntu) one gets constant reminders that it is a good idea to update stuff, and the process is pretty painless. Reminds me of Windows, actually. But I never saw a suggestion to re-install.
This was different when I was living with Puppy Linux, which would blithely allow you to continue on with the old crap forever, and everything regarding an upgrade is manual.
I suppose it is one or the other; constant, annoying reminders or nothing.
jed — Mint 15 (Olivia). (And yes, Brian, it is time for an upgrade, though how did you know?)
When the computer booted up Saturday morning it wouldn’t load the desktop — among other things. I had the taskbar and basic functions like email and a browser, but ancillary functions were gone. No printer. Couldn’t load the camera, etc. So I re-installed the OS and ordered a Mint 17.1 DVD from OSDisc.com.
Beth — Yep, very, very, very, very cool indeed!
And while that store isn’t “down the street” from me, I know for sure that photo wasn’t posed for PR purposes, but was a real pic from the grand opening.
Ohhhhh, that sounds like something got corrupted. I’m doing my best Spock raised-eyebrow face.
