This is a blog update to say, I have no news. I’ve done nothing interesting in the past few days whatsoever. But that won’t stop me from telling you about it 😉 On Monday, I walked over to Leisure World to recycle some bottles. I felt incredibly virtuous… not only did I manage to recycle…

Just wanted to update you on the last few days! On Thursday, I didn’t do very much … went to the pub in the evening with Alex, Philippa and (later) Chris, Emily and Luci. On Friday, um, I can’t remember… something… um… I don’t know. Various things, including going home overnight! But whatever I did,…

This has been doing the rounds on the internet so you may well have heard it before, so I’ll just give the link. It’s quite telling, actually… this post explains what the fuss is about.

Tip: If you decide to use Linux, don’t install any new kernels because (dun dun dun) doing that will break stuff! I’ve upgraded the Kernel twice since installing Linux. The first time the new one didn’t want to work with my wireless card (so I had to boot to the old one every time); and…

Let me just say, by the title I don’t mean that Linux isn’t usually better at stuff than Windows. I wouldn’t be using Linux if I thought it was rubbish; in fact, I think quite the opposite: Linux does have its advantages over Microsoft in many ways. The more I use Linux the more I…

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…
