Finished Item - Baby Dress ... And Other Stuff

Wow I have been so side tracked today that I never thought I would manage to do a post today. I've been a complete GEEK on the computer. Well on two computers actually. I know what you're thinking two computers and you didn't get the time to post until now? You see I wasn't exactly sitting at the computers I was just getting them to work for me (converting tv shows I had recorded and wanted to keep) while I was busy doing other more important things like crocheting (~_~) and catching up on the shows I had recorded on my PVR (Personal Video Recorder)

I was adding the finishing touches on this baby dress. It's from another pattern by Heather at Just Crochet.

Pattern JC90C

I was adding buttons and sewing in the ends. For some reason my doesn't look quite like the one Heather made but I think it's still pretty.

After all that time (hours and hours) converting the shows I had recorded off the TV only one of the conversions worked. The one on the Linux machine. The one on the windows computer didn't work. Oh well. I might try that again tonight & let the computer work on that while I sleep. With any luck it will be good to go in the mornings ready for editing.

For the geeks out there who may wish to know what version of Linux I've used it's lubuntu which is on the netbook Mark gave me. Mark set it up for me a while back but I've only just started using it to convert files. I don't know a lot about it but I don't mind using it. At least I don't have to worry about getting any nasty viruses on it (~_~) that's one bonus on having a Linux machine.

Tux

How cute is these little avatars of Tux (wikipedia)? Isn't he is just adorable!!

For those of you who may not of heard of Tux before. He is the Linux mascot. Okay now some of you are probably thinking what on earth is Linux (wikipedia)? It's an alternative operating system for your computer. I am sure that you have heard of Mac and Windows. Well Linux is an alternative to them & best of all its open source, which means the course code can be freely modified and redistributed. Sometimes you can pay for a copy but most of the time it is completely FREE!

If you would like some Tux Avatars you can go HERE or HERE to download some. After all who can resist this gorgeous little penguin who dresses so cutely!

BTW Mark has given up trying to get me to install Linux on my computer. At least for now. Linux doesn't play nice with Incredimail (yet) and I have no plans to change until it does =)
