Update

I just thought that i would post a random update to say that i was still here.

Back From SA

I have arrived back form south Africa after approx 23 days of no PC interaction what so ever!
I suppose it is good for PC geeks to have a break now and again, we should not take every thing for granted. Any day soon there could be a thunder Storm that hits the power lines and you/my PC goes boom!!!

Any way the reason for my posting is that i came back yesterday night and have been on my PC all morning installing ubuntu 8.04, it is grate, but after the long troublesome installation all sorts of things stop working. GRRR! but i have fixed it and it is really COOL!
Thanks to Mal and fela who helped me earlier on, if they did not then i might not have been able to fix it.

hardy is GR8!!!! Try it!

Sorry for lack of posts lately

I've switched* to KDE by the way. I used to bash it a bit, but I've grown to like it, and logs in way faster than gnome (haven't tested with compiz yet though)
-----------------
My main reason for posting was that I'm going to Spain in 3 days - by boat and train (I don't travel on planes as I am awake to climate change - that is also the reason that i don't leave my computer on when it's not in use (something that many people do and i honestly think is completely outrageously energy wasting.)
-----------------
* i haven't actually completely switched - i use pretty much all of the desktop environments/window managers (apart from very obscure WMs), including: Gnome2; Xfce4; KDE3; KDE4; Enlightenment 17, Fluxbox, JWM and XFWM (IIRC)

Away to SA...

I will be going to SA (south Africa) for 3 weeks and 4 days and will probably not be able to post during that time (but i will try to send a update) but when i come back (on the 17 or 18 of may) i will be able to post again.

Till then Buy from me, LikesLinux :-D

P.S. you just have to play BZFlag, it is soooo fun and i captured the enemy's flag for the first time ever!

And...

I am the proud owner of a Logitech LX7 Wireless 1000dpi 9-button mouse + Labtec Y-RAE68 wireless keyboard.

After fela insisted that i get a new mouse so i got a now wireless keyboard and mouse. I am now a proud owner of a Logitech^(r) Cordless Desktop^(r) EX110
