So… what did we get up to this weekend? Well. On Friday evening we didn’t do very much, we went to bed fairly early because we had to be up rather early on Saturday morning! We got up at about 5AM on Saturday to be at Colchester Station at 6.24. We were going on a…

Apologies for referring to the Jackson 5 in the title (if you didn’t know what it was, which would be perfectly excusable). But I wanted to mention a new PHP Framework I’ve found, called Code Igniter. I’ve been casually developing a sort of gallery system recently — in a similar vein to Matthew’s — and…

So! We come to another “The Weekend” type post. Well. On Friday, um, uh…. my memory doesn’t extend that far back. On Saturday, we went into town for a bit. And then we came back home. In the evening, we went to ASK for dinner, which was very nice! I can particularly recommend the honeycomb…

Just a quick post to say that I have finally got around to upgrading to Ubuntu 6.10. When I say “finally got around to”, I really mean, “Finally got the flipping thing to work!” It just kept failing with a message saying that the bzip process had failed… it turns out this was because I…

Ok, so… this is the blog post that I was half way through writing earlier! This time, I’ll try not to lose it … The first thing is, I’ve been listening to “Love” by the Beatles recently (it arrived on Monday). I’ve been very impressed. The tracks have all been re-worked by George and Giles…

I typed out a long post in here, but it got lost in the statelessness of the web 🙁 I have no idea what happened, it looked like the page refreshed but usually when that happens Firefox remembers what you’ve input. I can’t be bothered to type it all out again, so this is just…

So… the film we went to see on Saturday night was the new Bond film, “Casino Royale“. I didn’t quite know what to expect, as it had received mixed reviews from the critics – most of them seemed to love or slate the film because of the reason that it was a bit different from…

It’s that time of the week again! That’s right, another lovely “The Weekend” post for you all to enjoy 🙂 so… what did we get up to this weekend? Well. On Friday evening we didn’t do very much really! On Saturday we went into town and bought a few new bits and pieces (I bought…

I was looking for the Ubuntu URL for the previous post, when I stumbled across the fact that Ubuntu 6.10 “Edgy” has been released. It looks good, I’ll probably upgrade this weekend! And if you’re not using Ubuntu already, why not? 😉 (you don’t have to leave a comment and answer that, by the way!)

I used to think that installing Microsoft products was fairly easy. In fact, even though I am a self-confessed fan of *nix operating systems over Windows, if you’d have asked me a while ago I would have said that installing Windows was easier than installing a Linux operating system. But I now have a much…
