I mentioned early that the latest version of Ubuntu Linux (7.04 ‘Feisty Fawn’) has been released, and that I was upgrading to it. Well, I’ve been using it now for a short time, and it seems pretty good. The graphics have been reworked a little bit, there are a few refinements here and there… haven’t…

Max Barry has written a great post on his website advocating Linux. I agree with him 100%… these days I think a distribution like Ubuntu is easier to install than Windows XP (I haven’t used Vista so I can’t comment about it). Speaking of Ubuntu, the latest version was released yesterday. I left mine upgrading…

Yep, it’s that time of the week again folks! What did we get up to this weekend? Not a lot, as it turns out. I’ll skip over most of it. On Saturday we did some shopping during the day. In the evening we watched “Doctor Who”. I did quite enjoy this week’s episodes, I think…

I thought I’d probably better post something up to let you know what we’ve been doing this week! On Sunday, as I mentioned before, we went down to see Philippa’s parents. We were there until Wednesday. It was rather nice actually, as well as having a break we were able to be productive by talking…

Ok, I know that this is still technically “bank holiday weekend” because it hasn’t finished yet, but I thought I’d post something up anyway. What’s been going on this long weekend? Well. On Friday we went to the Good Friday service (see my last post). On Saturday we went into town, did a bit of…

We went to a Good Friday service today. It was called “An Hour at the Cross”, looking at Psalm 22. It put me in quite a contemplative mood… well, that and having to study for the Moore Course exam we’re doing tomorrow morning! So I thought I’d post something up contemplative. Who has believed our…

I thought I’d probably better post up a quick note to say that Philippa and I have made an offer on a house, and it has been accepted 🙂 We made an offer towards the end of last week, and it was accepted on Saturday. We are currently in the process now of dealing with…

It’s been a while since I did a “The Weekend” post, and this was a rather unusual weekend, so I thought I’d write one for a change 🙂 On Friday evening we went out for a meal at Sloppy Joe’s, along with a bunch of other people (Alex, Chris, Dan, Alison, Steve, Karen, Anne-Marie…). It…

*sigh* Why is it that you can spend an hour trying to do something such as… oh, I don’t know… restoring a corrupt Subversion database, you don’t have any success in an hour’s work, but once you get home you manage it in about five minutes? Not that it’s ever happened to me, of course…

It’s probably a bit late really to be posting up my regular “The Weekend” post. So I’ll just post up a couple of other random things instead! I bought a couple of new CDs at the weekend: “Stop the Clocks” by Oasis, and “Black Holes and Revelations” by Muse. The Oasis album is great –…
