This is the first of a two-part blog post. The second part will be part of my ‘Migrating to Linux’ series. This is just about the last few days of the holiday… Anyway. on Sunday evening we went to the pub to meet up with some of Philippa’s friends. It was a really good evening…

Hello there! I’m currently on holiday 🙂 I just thought I’d write a message to update you. Last Wednesday I came down to London amd have been staying with Philippa and her parents. It’s been a really good week so far! On Wednesday evening we went to see Gorecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs at the…

If you’re considering a holiday this winter to escape to warmer climes, why not try Phaic Tan? … Anyway. Update on Linux: I now have an MP3 Player, a DVD Player, a media player (for e.g. DivX), and a Machine that goes *Ping*. Took some doing to get working, but it’s all there! Funny thing…

Hmmm, well, one more thing I’ve found out about Linux: when you install a program with Windows, generally that’s all you need to download: one program. Not so with Linux. I’ve just been trying to install a DVD player (Ogle, an open source DVD player for unix based systems). I’ve finally managed to get it…

As I mentioned below, I took the plunge today and migrated to Linux. Fedora Core 3, to be exact; I’ll probably upgrade to 4 pretty soon. I just thought I’d use this blog to keep a record of my experiences in the migration, it might help other people who are considering the move. Anyway, here…

I’ve officially moved over to the dark side! My main PC is now running (gulp)… Linux! Yes, I’ve installed Fedora Core. Unfortunately I’ve had all sorts of woes trying to get FC4 installed (corrupt media, not good) so I’ve just used an old FC3 disk that I had which seems to work fine. I will…

Well, that’s a new one. I received a few emails this morning, one of them was the usual spam type. The others purported to come from “@mooseofming.co.uk” (from addresses that don’t exist though). Two of them had attachments and another two seemed to come from the web form I have on the contact page. The…

It’s apparently my “birthday” today. I got a couple of cards through the post yesterday and actually had no idea what they were until I opened them… suffice it to say I’m not a big birthday celebration type person! But it seems to be something people like to know, so now you know. Whatever! Looking…

I haven’t been up to much this weekend… on Friday I went to a music practice at Fordham. It was my first time being involved in a church music group, although I have been involved with the music for the chaplaincy a couple of times. It went well, despite everyone else being about twice as…

Well, I handed out a CD yesterday to one of the local bars. Hopefully it’ll be listened to and I’ll be able to DJ there 🙂 First time I’ve handed out a CD in a while, the last time was about two years ago – which I never heard back from … Apart from that,…
