I try to keep this weblog as much about development as I can and not so much personal but I had to share this. Today I bought my first R/C vehicle in probably 20 years. I'm running it with a PowerMax 3300 NiMH 6 Cell battery pack. With this battery I get about 40 MPH. I bought two batteries so I'd have a bit less time between runs. I ran it twice today and it was a blast.

For the second time 3 days Ubuntu (8.04) has given me the partial upgrade request. The first time it happened I posted a thread and it had to do with dependencies not making it to the repositories at the same time. You can read about it in the thread I linked.

Now it's happening again.







Looking at the list of updates there are a bunch of OpenOffice items that are unchecked. I'm going to wait a day or so before trying to update again. I don't want to deal with the same things I had to the first time. Luckily it resolved itself quickly enough. I just hope this doesn't become a common thing with Ubuntu.
