Random notes
If I wait until I have a full entry to write, I'll write nothing. Much as you'd all prefer that, here's the alternative:
- My housemate has a copy of GTA: San Andreas — between three of us in the house we've now racked up over 20 hours of gameplay, since he bought it on Friday afternoon.
- I have a job; it's only in a pub, but will give me some money to pay off debts etc while I work out what else I should be doing with my time.
- Nerds make the best lovers, apparently.
- I'm off to Snowdonia on Friday, for a couple of days. I'll be enjoying this lovely weather...
- I've been learning to cook what I'm told is traditional Turkish food. I can't spell it, or even pronounce it, but I think I can cook it :)
- Now you need never have your ice-cream stolen again
- And on the subject of ice cream, try strawberry flavour with apple pie, in the future, rather than the more traditional vanilla. I totally didn't expect it to work, but somehow it did. Thanks, Wetherspoons, for running out of vanilla!
- And thanks to The Victoria for stopping serving food so early on Sundays, so I had chance to find this out!
- My shiny new laptop now runs Ubuntu, like the old one. The whole install Just Worked, out of the box, to my amazement, including recognising the built in wireless card. I had a few problems making WEP work during the installer, so ended up installing over a cable, but now the system is up and running the wireless drivers work well too. Yay!
- I haven't mentioned it yet, but my shiny new phone completely rocks. I need to learn to spell the OS it runs correctly, though: there is a very important M in Symbian, particularly when googling.
- Despite being a couple of chapters into Getting Things Done
, I'm still, erm, not.
Which might explain why I'm sat here writing drivel at 2.30am, instead of sleeping. Oops!

You actually managed to get Ubuntu on *two* laptops?
Last time I tried that I failed miserably, and all that the support people could say was "oops.. that's not good..."
