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…

Did anyone else think that episode of Torchwood last night (or on Sunday night, if you’ve got BBC3) was lame? Let me just run through it. ‘Fairies’ were the subject of the episode. So what do we know about them? Next to nothing, aside from the fact that they like to play ‘games’ with people…

I came across an absolutely fantastic website today. It’s a satirical website, with the premise that Microsoft have taken over Mozilla Firefox. It contains such gems as a “Googling filter”. “What is a Googling filter?”, I hear you ask. Here is the answer from their FAQ: Microsoft Firefox 2007 Professional offers dynamic security protection to…

… sorry about the random headline, but it’s been one of those days. It feels like I’ve been interrupted once every five minutes, meaning that I haven’t actually managed to get any work done at all! Doh! Anyway. What did we get up to this weekend? Well. On Friday we didn’t do much… on Saturday,…
