PSA that doesn't really matter but: since I updated Ubuntu, I no longer have Skype, as there isn't a version for 14.04 yet. Which sucks. Even though I haven't been talking to anyone or remembering to sign in. But in case you were wondering, that's it.

Also: I'm probably not going to add you unless I know who you are, btw.

I've been having a serious bad sad for the past few days, and I read stuff about making comics last night (as a means to cheer me up), and then felt even worse. JOY.

(Also doesn't help that I want to do a thing, and at the moment I feel like I'm swimming in glue. Which is lovely).

*wallows*

On the other hand, I made a badge that looks like a manekineko and I am proud of it :)

Skype still works on 14.04! Or at least, it does on mine... I just use the 10.04 beta .deb file from the Skype website. The 64bit version since I use 64bit Ubuntu, but I'd assume the 32bit would work too if that's what you have? (At least I think it's the 10.04 file. Maybe it was 12.04. The point is the old one still works!)

Also boo, I'm sorry to hear you're feelings crappy right now. :( I've been in moods where things that usually pick me up just make me feel even more grotty and it's the worst and there's no easy answer.

Go watch some Avatar? ;)

*claps hand to forehead* Why didn't I think of that??? I suppose because I still run somewhat on Windows brain so I think it's not going to be compatible? Also because when I looked in the repository there wasn't a version so I was all, oh heck. But if the older version works OK, that's great! (I've got the 12.04 version so we shall see!)

Thanks. I know it's going to pass, but right at the moment BLERGH. So I'm kind of avoiding everything (in so much as I can) and reading webcomics.

I can't! I'm at the last two eps of S1, it'll destroy me! (Though I guess I could skip 'em, like I'm going to do with Appa's Lost Days buuuut...it seems unfair to do so, as while they're not happy episodes, they don't usually all out wreck me).

I'm always forgetting about skype in general :'/ Although, I don't know what Ubuntu is it's certainly cruddy to not be able to use something you had been using before.

I am SO out of the habit of IMing. I used to a lot up till about 2005/6, then I think everyone I knew joined Facebook and was all, SEE YA. So I keep trying to get people to talk to me, and then forgetting to sign in! Which is very helpful, as you can imagine :D

Anyway, Becka sorted me out above, as you can no doubt see :)

Ubuntu is an operating system; it's a version of Linux (I assume you've heard of that? If not, it's a free open-source operating system. You can choose to donate money to companies that make the different versions, but you don't have to (unlike paying for the privilege of using Windows), and the majority of the software that's available for it is free, too).
