Linux is a Cruel Mistress

I hate waking up late. I always feel like I've wasted half the day. It's my own fault for staying up until 2a.m. trying to get my Linux live CD working. I managed it in the end, but once I'm using it, I have NO idea what I'm doing. And no-one else knows a thing about it, so all I can do is tentatively press buttons and enter commands I've read on crappy websites. I can't even find a 'basic guide to Linux'. Argh. I mean, everything is working OK, but I don't know how to activate my wireless card and therefore access the internet. It's a proper struggle, like trying to teach yourself to drive when you've never seen it done before; "Right... So... What does this key thingy do?" I'd love to learn some basic programming, and perhaps one day be more skilled at Linux than Windows. A man can dream...
I thought I'd stay in and do some work today, ended up doing half an S1 paper. HALF! Christ. I'm gonna try and do another whole one before the night is up. I also have a headache. And my character on City of Heroes won't level up!

Come on, Lordi, make my day.
