If any of you are following me on Twitter, you may have noticed a Tweet where I mentioned I installed Arch on the desktop. I figured I would go into my reasoning for going back to Arch. I left Arch initially because I got tired of messing around and tweaking things to get them working, but I also missed two big things when I switched to Ubuntu: up-to-date software and the install what you want way of things. I am keeping Ubuntu on my laptop, because now I’m moving back to the desktop for most of my computing at home. This leads me into what I have running as far as a desktop goes. Once again, I installed Fluxbox. It’s small, easy to configure and pretty flexible. I’ve been spending the past few days installing the software I need, and right now I’m working on transferring my music and such from the laptop back home to the desktop. All and all, I’m happy to be back on Arch, at least on the desktop. Ubuntu will work fine on the laptop, although I think I’ll probably end up installing Fluxbox on it as well.

As far as Twitter goes, I’ve been a little lax on my updates there. I’ve been rather busy at work, so that limits the amount of tweets I spit out during the week. On the weekends I’m usually pretty busy with family things, so again, lack of updates. One thing that’s beginning to annoy me with Twitter, though, is that there are a lot of ‘spam’ users cropping up. I don’t add anyone that follows me. What I usually do is check out their Twitter page and see if they interest me at all. If it turns out they’re a spammy type of Twitter (spammy being ‘listen to x podcast! buy x!’), I’ll block them so I don’t see them on my follower list. I notice some of my Twitter friends are using another service (Plunk, I believe), so I might give that a shot at some point.
