New confession:

Spent the better part of yesterday installing a second SSD (64Gb) in my computer.  The install was easy (also had to install a better case fan and manage air flow obstructions)

It was installing Ubuntu 14.04 on it that was a pain.  Turns out it doesn't like Dual Graphics stuff from AMD, so I had to disable my 6670 graphics card in the BIOS and plug it directly into the onboard graphics run by my sweet ass 6800K AMD APU.

Then I tried to install 0.9.1 Bitcoin-Qt (trusty) on it, and man did I have to work!  Finally figured out, with the help of Ask! Ubuntu, that there were issues with crypto keys that were trying to access the repository.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bluematt/bitcoin

gpg --keyserver  keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv XXXXX

gpg --export --armor XXXXX | sudo apt-key add -

This is all so I can have the full client on a drive that is not used for web surfing and such (it also has to be manually connected to the motherboard for access).  And well, I fkn love me some Ubuntu, it is just so time consuming, nothing seems to work without some effort unlike Windows 8.1.

When I finally got it installed I got my fix for the day!  It is now gradually downloading the full block chain.  Now I can save lots of space on my main SSD when it doesn't have to hold a full client.

My wife told me last night, "You are starting to spend a lot of time on this computer." 

I know what that means, I better do some TLC overtime.
