Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.

I have been running Ubuntu 10.10 for a few months now and I am happy to say that everything works great. I wouldn't suggest that people use the alpha versions of Ubuntu like I did, but hey its always fun to be on the bleeding edge.

I would recommend that anyone that uses Ubuntu to install Ubuntu tweak http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
This little app makes editing some of the setting in Ubuntu almost painless.

Supernova 2010

Hi, Recently I went to Supernova 2010. It was awesome.
Many things to see and some great Cosplay.
They even had a darlek.

Back to blogging and upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 X64

Hi.
I have finally decided to go back to Blogging. It has been a long time since I last wrote on my Blog and I have always wanted to get back to it.
My initial plan was to document my moving to my new house. However my plan was always to write about the thing I found important.
Linux and computer security.


I have finally taken the plunge and decided to migrate to the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 10.04.
I am very please to say that it works perfectly so far. My last time I went 64-bit there was some things that just didn't work properly.
Until next time take care!

I am back.

Well, it seems that I got lazy and havn't updated my blog for ages.

I am now back and will try and update it more frequently.

Some updates.

The first part of our house renovations have been finished.
We now have a new bedroom and bathroom.
But I lost my bar :-(

The next part is currently going through council approvals and quotes.



Soon I will start updating this site for the main reason I wanted to set it up for.
Computer stuff.

I will start posting some computer tutorials and stuff, mainly to do with Linux and Open Source.
But may perhaps give some updates on my chatbot I have been working with.
Still in development and written so far in 100% Python. (I am a programming noob so it may take a while) I am going to host of Sourceforge when I am not too embarressed about the code.

New Photos

Hi again,

Here are some new photos of the house etc.
I will again post some better ones when I find them.

Ripping up the carpet and removing the Evil nails. Ahh the joys of renovating
