    Microsuck

    Jake11/17/2006

    So this deal between Micro$oft and Novell/SUSE stinks really badly. I don’t see Micro$oft out to “help the people”. I see this as an attempt to flush Linux out of the market. I have never been a fan of SUSE Linux and this surely doesn’t help their image in my eyes. I fully agree that during this Micro$soft/Novell/SUSE “partnership” everyone who uses SUSE should migrate all their servers/desktops to something else. Yes I work for Red Hat. But I don’t care who you go with. Pick CentOS or someother distro just don’t let Micro$oft pull the wool over everyone’s eyes and destroy Linux.

    I totally agree with this article.

    I see this being a long and ugly fight.

    First they ignore you.
    Then they laugh at you.
    Then they fight you.
    Then you win.

    Welcome to the fight.

    Stuff

    So it’s been a really long time since I posted anything. I’ve been extremely busy with work and since Kate moved down here she and I have been very busy on weekends. I can honestly say that I don’t remember a happier time in my life. Things are happening that I never expected. I’m actually looking into buying a house so Kate and I will have a place when she moves up here. The problem with that is that in my younger days I was not very good with credit. My credit score now reflects that. And I say young but that includes up to 2 years ago.

    Today I went to freecreditreports.com and got a copy of my credit. All of the bad accounts are for really stupid accounts and should be pretty easy to pay off. I have paid two of them in full since I started looking and contacted 2 more asking for direction on what I need to do to pay them in full. I really want to get my credit score up so I can buy a house. RIght now it will be at least a year before I can. In order to qualify for a VA home loan I have to have one year of good credit. I’m ashamed that I’m 29 years old and I have to wait for 1 good year of credit. *shakes head* I made a lot of bad decisons regarding money in my past and now i’m paying for that.
