Setting up a new Linux build w\/ Ubuntu 14.04.<\/p>\n

Have you tried it yet? Imagine booting from a USB stick and being able to test drive Linux<\/a>. Without even having to install Ubuntu Linux, I was able to connect to my local library’s WiFi, read my Gmail and use my Wacom tablet. I then double-clicked the “Install Ubuntu<\/em>” icon that was sitting on my desktop and let the installer run in the background… \u00a0 as I continued to browse the internet.\u00a0 If you haven’t yet, I recommend trying it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m not a big fan of the Unity<\/em> user interface, which is the default UI for recent versions of Ubuntu. However,\u00a0installing Gnome Classic<\/a> was stupid easy *clicks button<\/em>*. This style of UI is more comfortable for most users.<\/p>\n

Next, I’m\u00a0testing out the graphics card using the Sintel character rig<\/a> in Blender.\u00a0 All looks good, and we’re mobile!<\/p>\n

Oh yeah… isn’t this supposed to be about Blender<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

To finish off the day, I felt I should actually\u00a0create<\/em> something… \u00a0anything. Why not follow a geeky trend on 3\/14 and pay tribute to Pi? \u00a0I followed this tutorial<\/a> and was able to being in an SVG file to extrude in to a 3D shape. \u00a0Not incredibly impressive, but for those that are spooked out about 3D softwares… \u00a0 well, I say, “Ave no fear! \u00a0Iz EZ!<\/em>”<\/p>\n
