KT and me, last night had dinner with Easy-Pete,Rene(sp), and lil'Rach :) It was great Kt cooked up a pot roast, with some grain mustard gravy, and some Rolls. It was AWESOME! Lol.. me and Pete hung out and looked through all kinds of tech stuff while Rach , rene , and Kt chilled.
Afterwards it was about 10ish we went and saw AVP-R.
AVP-R was interesting, hehe.. Afterwards I went to work for an hour and Katie came back and we hung out until 7am. Katie came home and I killed the best part of an hour, and then rolled on home, and spent some time wtih Katie before she passed out.. all and all it was fun hehe...

Lime infused Vodka
Ive been working on a lime infusion actually 2 of them... One, I grated the peel and placed it into the jar, and then with the second jar I did the fruit. This morning I will probably taste and harvest if it feels right. Ive actually found this to be rather intense.
Maybe ill pull the infusion material out and add more sugar to it, but im rather sad that it didnt come out better, but thats why i bought Cheap Vodka.
I think next i will start another Infusion maybe Strawberry.. see where that gets me.
Accouple links below are what ive found through google:

Some side thoughts:
Making a multiberry is good but make sure you do it right.
Strawberry infusion next.
Melon infusion maybe after that.

My own *buntu review.
A small FYI to the readers i have placed the Acronyms at the bottum. Below i will be covering GUI/CLI, System, use-ability, and last but not least Llews pick's.
My opinions:
GUI/CLI:
Generally speaking, DE's ie KDE, & GDE are great in my opinion for new people to linux. However as a Veteran who has actually done some considerable distro hopping since RedHat 6.2 I really havent seen anything new in terms of how Ubuntu does it. Now all and all they dont really have any WM based distro's. Which for us older linux users who are more likely to use WM's due to less resources being hogged by a UI. CLI is traditional Linux +/- a few things on system level.
System:
A few things bug me ie Sudo because root is squashed, No inittab which imo is not even linux anymore with out it. RC's are gone gone gone replaced by some new system that is well... Akward abit. Some of the Highlights are that rare hardware is supported. Apt-get is hot in the UI and out of the UI. whole thing is almost Sero configuration needed.
Use-Ability:
This is a joe blow os meaning, you could pick some one up off the street put them infront of this and they will learn it and make serse of it.
Llews pick:
Reinstall/Install time ... tops 30 minutes ive seen it as quick as 10. Very reedeming.
All in all id say 3.5 out of 5
GUI : (Graphical User Interface)
CLI : (Command Line Interface)
UI: (User Interface )
DE's : (Desktop Enviroment's)
KDE : ( K Desktop Enviroment ),
GDE : ( Gnome Desktop Enviroment )
Distro : Distrobution ( linux flavor/OS )
WM : Windows Manager
