Dual Booting and Making Myself Whole!

So I finally figured out the issue with dual booting my Lenovo y70...NVidia!
The NVidia graphics card had to be turned off in the BIOS settings, cause Ive always heard NVidia cards dont play nice with linux out the box.

While I was at it I partitioned the hard drive the way i wanted to solve my problem of not being able to access data on Windows while on Linux, and vice versa, by partitioning my 1TB hard drive as such: 250Gb Windows partition, 250Gb Linux partition, and a 500Gb Fat 32 partition to save data to. Making it fat32, a file system both Windows and Linux can read.

I solved the issue with the wireless network card dissappearing after installing Fedora updates.. A known issue within the Linux community with Broadcom drivers.

I solved the issue with my lamar.mcmiller@gmail.com email not coming through. Turns out that email I got from my ExperienceIT classmate whos account got hacked, set a block on all email containing my  email address.

Im figuring out all tar.gz installs are going to be different and thats ok. Thats just the new linux world everything isnt a makefile and ./install away. Finding install instructions is pretty much mandatory. You really do have to have some understanding of the file structure and permissions to really get comfortable installing software to your system. Also, finding .desktop files and understanding them is key for any level of GUI customization.

In between all the major hurtles I did the complete customization of my Gnome 3.18 desktop, complete with all the desired icons and extensions.

I added my .bashrc and .bash_profile. I added my subwoofer by changing some config files. I installed the LAMP stack.

Im just generally feeling embolden to do new things and FIX my issues now more than ever after all the success ive had doing so.

Bootstrap LamarMcMiller.Me website 3-25

Did some good work yesterday with bootstrap. Watching the Lynda videos. Of all the instructional videos Ive watched over time, I never walked away with the clarity of information that I did with those. Gonna explore more Lynda videos on subjects that I want to learn, as they seem to cater to people starting from zero.

I was able to download and install Bootstrap, install JQuery into bootstrap, delete unneccessary files out of bootstrap, create the nav, add a photo, align my text and photo along the grid structure, create several pages to nav to,  adding pictures and text to those. I also added a footer, but I havent formatted it in any way, I have yet to learn if there are any special classes for that in bootstrap.

March 1-9 My Resume web site creation

Spending the last 2 days adding <div> and classes to MyResume

Adding <span class> to the job titles instead of <i class>
and the font-family attribute to allow for more control

Thinking font-family is the go to for font rendering changes because it allows for properties like bold and italic intrinsically.

Ok, now im seeing the bigger picture. about page created, contact and home page created with the initial html document and css converted to resume.html and resume.css.
