Bad Photos

I have been holding out for a decent phone for the past two years. Nothing out there so far has had a good enough specification for me to commit to 12, 18 or 24 months on contract to get one and I can't afford to buy one outright. The iPhone is a nice toy but the ...

Thoughts on 140conf

Yesterday I attended 140conf which was held at Indigo in the O2 London. It was an interesting day. Although it did get a bit 'broadcast' and boring in the middle of the day, what made it worthwile was the morning with Stephen Fry talking about Twitter, Technology and Being Human beings and the last few sessions ...

Feeling Karmic?

I have been running Ubuntu Karmic Koala for over a week now and I have mixed feelings. On my Lenono x61 Laptop I performed the upgrade from Jaunty. While on my Dell Precision 670 Desktop I did a clean install of the 64bit version (it was previously running Jaunty 64bit). The reason I did a clean ...

I manged to get this clip before being told I 'wasn't allowed to film' by festival hall staff as were many other parents with their mobile phones and cameras in ...

The Bottling

Finally got round to bottling the wine I made last autumn

My perfect x61 Intrepid setup

The upgrade from Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) to Intrepid (8.10) on my Lenovo ThinkPad x61 was easy and took about an hour. Then there are a few things to get working again... Enable the middle 'mouse' button Apparently Intrepid switches to evdev for X server input so instead of modifying your xorg.conf like in Hardy, create a ...

Apple Press

Every year I see apples left to waste and rot either on trees in back gardens or on the ground. This bothers me, I'd love to have apple trees but my garden is too small. I also make cider but over the last few years haven't had a good souce of apples. [thanks to mexicanwave for ...
