Updated my portfolio site

I just finished moving my portfolio and schedule websites (http://www.carlbwade.us and http://schedule.carlbwade.us) to Google Sites. It was a long move but I'm happy with the change. There are some limits Google Sites can do but for free I cannot beat that. Plus right now I don't need anything too complex. I used iWeb hosting on freehostia. I did not like any of the iWeb templates plus customizing is really limited and I found one of Google Sites that I really liked.

Installed Ubuntu on an external Hard Drive

I have successfully installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my spare external hard drive. I tried to install Ubuntu 10.04 but after installation, running for about 5 minutes, it would crash and the screen would freeze and go black.

So how did I do it? First I booted into the live cd and found out where the external hard drive was located. I used gparted or something like that. Then I followed the install process as normal. When I got to the partition section I selected my external hard drive and when I got to the last screen I used the advanced section to install the boot loader on the external hard drive and not my computer (this will mess my computer bootup if I skipped this step which I did by mistake) I put screenshots to help people understand.
