Yesterday i asked my brother for some interesting audio-book for the times of being tired to read but awake to sleep, and he gave me Yann Martel‘s Life of Pi. I just listened to the first nine or so chapters of it, which was really fascinating. Kind of reminds me of Orwell‘s Coming up for air, in many ways, the style, the methods. Not as if i were telling Martel was a copycat, it’s original, i think.

Too bad this and installing Ubuntu made me skip learning. I don’t know what i’ll do, as i really should’ve practiced german and read that history stuff over again. Maybe i will now, but i don’t know if it’ll be successful.

So i was installing Ubuntu, and it’s working fine on that half of my anime partition, except of a few annoying things i couldn’t yet solve. Such is first of all that it rejects to connect to the local WLAN, of unknown reason. I’ll figure out somehow, the troublesome part of this is that since i can’t connect to the network, i can’t connect to the shared internet either (i fear i’ll have to run a few laps with that too…), so i can’t access the online help, so i’ll have to use the desktop computer for that purpose. Lazy.
