 Yo-yo everyone. So brief update video. I wanted to throw out some news just so people would know I'll go ahead and do it all at the beginning of the video and then explain it all later But just some talking points Well, first off I am now a PhD candidate. I The reason I haven't been posting videos in the past month or so is I had a bunch of stuff to do I had an oral offense. I just had a bunch of different assignments and presentations and just different stuff That's why I haven't been posting recently But I'll still be active on the forum or Twitter or whatever or however active I usually am But I'm gonna be making now now most of it is sort of beyond me or past me or whatever So I'm going to be putting up more videos now just so you know, I'm still here. So news entries I'll go ahead and mention them all right now. First off got my x220 back. It is working actually better than new It's better than it was before I'll talk about that in a second Second off, I'm gonna be presenting at Linux Fest southeast for those of you who are in the southeast of the United States or somewhere else around there Also, let's see. Oh a couple videos. I want to talk about in a second and Yeah, there's probably something else. I think I had another thing, but whatever. So anyway on the x220 Month or so ago. I mentioned that you know, I was repairing this thing and I forgot to unplug it at some Period and it fried it fried the screen connector between the motherboard and the screen And you know, I put up a video like apps. I'm just gonna use my x200. I'll think about this later Now I get a bunch of emails from people one of them was from Tripcode Who's another youtuber who I mentioned in one of my last videos and he volunteered basically to just repair it So I'll give you a link to the video where he actually repaired it But I send it off sent it off to him and I he replaced the motherboard I think he replaced the screen as well I think he had a lot of these pieces laying around but he might have I think he actually bought he might have bought a new Motherboard so anyway, thanks to him a lot And so he repaired it and not just that When he fixed everything, I think he got some kind of motherboard error or something like that Nothing fatal just something you have to click through But he asked me hey you want me to just flash core boot on it and I was like well, okay Sure, so this thing now actually has core boot on it So that that's really nice. So it's better than it was before so to speak There they're actually still some things. I think we're figuring it out. But yeah, mostly it's it's all it's fantastic Works great on it's nice to have the computer back again. Actually, it's really it's like a theses is ship kind of thing Is like it has a new screen has a new motherboard. Is it really the same computer? Hmm? It still has this one screw on the bottom that doesn't screw in right so I guess that makes makes it the same computer So anyway, that is that So with respect to Linux Fest as I said, I'm gonna be presenting. Where is it? It's Charlotte, North Carolina June 8th to the 10th So I'm gonna be out there if any of you guys are in the Southeast You should definitely come or a little further away. Of course, you're welcome to come I forget if there's a Participation fee. I don't think there is But there might be I don't know what I don't want to say they do have a bunch of sponsors So I don't think so see I'm used to all these academic conferences where a lot of Lower tier ones will like ask you to pay money or something like that. But anyway, so I'm gonna be talking there I'm I forget my exact talk topic, but it was something on software minimalism and how people should basically embrace it And I think that this the time slots they give again another thing from academic conferences I'm used to presenting in like 20 minute time slots I think they're giving me an hour or something like that They give everyone an hour or at least they did in previous years. So that's gonna happen So yeah in my personal life I'm moving back to the Southeast and that's one of the reasons I'm presenting at the Southeast one just so you know And let's see if there's anything else and there's probably something else that I meant to say But that's basically it a long story short is in the next couple days I'm gonna be putting out a lot of video I don't want to say a lot, but I want to put out one every other day or one every day depending on how much work I can get done So one of the ones that I'm gonna be putting up pretty soon is a promised video from I think I promised it like a month ago And I haven't done it And that is in fact I promised it on patreon, which you know should I should definitely do it And it's just a bunch of personal reasons I couldn't but that's gonna be a video configuring a Fresh install of Arch Linux, so I'm gonna do that. I haven't like 90% prepared I just never had the chance since I lost the think pad Temporarily I didn't have the chance to actually record it and do some other stuff that I needed it for But now I'll be able to do that and there are a couple other videos actually sort of interesting ones that I'm gonna have coming out soon I don't know if I I don't know if I want to say they're a little different, but we'll figure it out So anyway, that's about it. I gotta go. I'm actually I have to get somewhere. I gotta gotta go cook this ham So I'll see you guys pretty soon I'll probably put up a video in the next couple days whenever you're seeing this so have a good one and I'll see you next time
