Good to hear. When I first was asking about Linux (in a different forum) a couple of people told me I wouldn't be able to learn it. I'm glad I didn't listen to them.
I'm glad you didn't either, you've already learned quite a bit!

But yeah, the rain. But when it was nice, it was PERFECT!
I wonder what time of the year you were here. In the summertime (July and August mostly,) it can get hot (for us) with no rain at all.

I was there in May. You still had the occasional clock-wise (or counter-clockwise, I can't remember which) storm ease in off the ocean, giving the rain/shine/rain cycle. But then there were some four or five day stretches that were magnificent.
Ah, you were here when the temperature was still tolerable.

Ha ha, ardvark. Me and my friend were walking around one day out there that I thought was BEAUTIFUL. Sunny. Low 80s. Just ideal. Well, one of my friend's neighbors was doing some gardening and she straightened up and said to my friend: "Do you believe this heat!"
I was like, heat? LOL But hey, everything is relative.
That reminds me when I went back to Delaware as a college exchange student (to the University of Delaware in Newark.) I drove my S-10 pickup all the way back there (in September,) fortunately I had air conditioning. That was an interesting 5 day road trip. But I remember when I arrived where my dorm room was and got out, it felt like I immediately stepped into an oven! The heat and humidity was absolutely incredible. Here in Oregon, you don't experience humidity like that.
