Today I just commuted to work and back and did not ride the trainer. Because of my back hurting as bad as it does, I felt a day or 2 off the trainer won’t kill me. Sure it is early in the season, but I still need to make every training chance possible. This is the time when I will lay the foundation for the upcoming season, and as of now, my foundation is a little shaky.
On a side note, I installed a new operating system on the computer Kelly’s brother gave me. I have always wanted to try out a Linux based OS and after some persuasion some people talked me into installing Ubuntu . I must say I have never done anything easier. I put the disc in and WHAMO, it was loaded up quickly and smoothly. I must say, I don’t know why I haven’t switched from windows so much earlier. I have never had such an easy time installing everything and get it up and running. The great part about it is that all kinds of additional software is free. No googling or anything, just go to the applications section, hit the add button and it lists hundreds of applications to install. Could not be easier. I am pretty much computer illiterate and it was super simple to get things going, connect to my network/internet and do everything I normally do with my windows machine. I must say the hell will Bill Gates and the awefulness he represents.

I’ve had ubuntu since November 2006. still having trouble with
dvd playback. Spinervals are the hardest dvd’s to play. I have
to reload several packages every time I want to ride my rollers with spinervals.
