Sick and quite tired of it
Got some type of bug. Started friday night and had me down all day saturday. Today isn’t much better but am tired of lying down so until meds take effect am upright or some imitation of it.
Still using SamLinux on liveCD. Steve, you asked for more info on it, but best way to get that is to download the iso from http://www.sam-linux.org/ and try it. There are some things that don’t seem to work but I figure it’s mainly just me not being able to think too clearly right now. Planning to install it to a hard drive and see how it does from there. But not today…
Took the bandage off my hand just before lunch. Swelling is gone down and most of the pain is gone. Can poke and prod the area with out wanting to scream now anyway. Not totally healed but well on the way. Would be at the forge if not for this bug.
More when I feel up to it.

Sorry to hear about the sickness, glad to hear the hand is healing well. Do everything you can to be sure that the bug you have isn’t related to the hand wound. This is coming from someone who had two strep infections in the leg, of all places, and I STILL have NO idea where they came from. And that’s been about ten years or so–no, I take that back, the first was right at 9 years ago, and the other was 8 years and 3 months ago–the second was while my dad was dying is how I can date it…
I did download it, but have not burned/tried it yet. This weekend has been wrapped up with PowerPoint (well, OO.o Impress) tech support for my wife. She is doing a project for school, and has never used presentation software before. It’s been fun….I had a little trouble finding SamLinux because I was searching for SamOS to begin with, but I found it pretty quickly. Downloaded in a reasonable time also, even though I was downloading Ultimate Ubuntu at the same time–THAT took a while. 1.7 GB or so. And of course, the first time it dropped the connection at about 1.5 GB…so it goes.
Hope things get better soon. There has been some nasty stuff going around. A stomach bug (eruptions at both ends) and a flu bug (just generally feeling like kaka). And, if you eat pet food, rat poison in a bunch of food. Yep, it turns out that it was wheat gluten contaminated with rat poison that did in/screwed up all those dogs and cats. Let the class action begin! Well, actually, it already has….
