As I mentioned a couple of blog posts ago, I had trouble installing Fedora Core 5 earlier this week. What I did instead was wipe my machine and install Ubuntu Linux. I have to say I’ve been very impressed! My wireless card didn’t need any messing around with ndiswrapper… Ubuntu detected it and configured it…

Apologies for the previous rant, your normal blog service is now resumed. So, what have I been up to this weekend? Not much really. Unfortunately at the moment, the heat seems to be affecting my memory! On Friday evening, we went round to Alex and Chris’ new place in Wivenhoe, and then went down with…

A few weeks ago, I downloaded Fedora Core 5 and burnt it to a DVD. I finally got round to (trying to) install it yesterday evening. All I can say is, what a freakin’ disappointment. Why oh WHY does Anaconda always seem to crash on me? This has happened now for the past two versions…

Hello loyal blog-readers! I am now back — I hope you didn’t miss me 🙂 So, what have I been up to the past few days? Well. On Saturday, I got married! It was a really lovely day. I would like to thank anybody reading this who came along for making it such a special…

Well, this has got to be a first – a “The Weekend” post BEFORE the weekend! Shocking, I know! The reason is, of course, this particular weekend I know what I’m going to be doing 🙂 I’m getting married! Yay! I will be travelling down to London tomorrow, and won’t be back here until Tuesday.…

It was a good game, although a little nerve-wracking for England fans (aren’t they all…). The…

… we’re both – at times – surrounded by frickin’ idiots!!! And, I’ll stop this rant before I start, it could well be libellous 😉

So… what’s been happening this weekend? Well. You already know what I was up to on Friday, so I won’t mention it! On Saturday morning, Philippa and I went into town as there were a few bits and pieces that we needed to get. In the afternoon we went out to The Beth Chatto Gardens…

Last night, after meeting our landlord to sort out contracts for next year, Philippa and I went down to Wivenhoe to meet up with Alex and Elisa for a drink at the Rose & Crown (and dinner from the chippie). It was a really nice evening – we hadn’t seen Alex and Elisa for a…

There’s a great post on The Register about spyware — it’s very funny! Check it out… In other news, I’m sorry about not updating very much this week. I haven’t been up to a huge amount really! Yesterday I went to home group in the evening after watching the England game. I have to say,…
