Lent 26: Some book reviews
Before I go on to the meat of todays post, I must make a passing mention to the Liverpool derby, which I had the great fortune to watch yesterday – it was a cracking match (despite Gerrard getting sent off) … Continue reading

Lent 25: Becoming a subversive
I’ve got to admit – I was scared of CVS. For the unitiated, CVS is a way for a group of people to work on the same piece of code (think: same text file) at the same time, and then … Continue reading

Lent 23: The Importance of Being Moany
Now – I know that the majority of my readership is British, and thus party to one of those little paradoxes in life – the ability to moan incessantly, without actually complaining, and remaining remarkably optimistic. It’s part of our … Continue reading
Lent 22: One of the worst and seven of the best
Last night was possibly the worst train journey of my commuting life, and certainly the worst experience since First took over ScotRail, about which I have, generally, been very positive about. The sequence of events went something like this: At … Continue reading

Lent 21: TV For Sale
Not, for once, an imaginative attempt at a witty/cryptic title. We’re selling out TV, which will be replaced with an LCD. We’re mostly doing this for space reasons – a widescreen CRT takes up a huge amount of room when … Continue reading

Lent 20: Almost failed
Almost didn’t get a post in today! I’m about a week into my new Ubuntu install, and so far things have been really peachy. Given that I was previously running Debian Unstable, upon which Ubuntu is based, it’s amazing the … Continue reading
Lent 19: Eclectic Day
Sunday’s is always a bit busy, but today has felt very varied. Church in the morning was busy as normal, plus we had to grab the PA from the church office, which always takes ages. This afternoon I’ve done a … Continue reading

Well, as reported by Illyria, the ‘Moose social went ahead last night. We spend a couple of hours in Russells chewing the fat and supping beers, and then we headed over to the Buff Club for some super funk action. … Continue reading

Lent:17 Cat in motion
I’ve been playing around with the ‘burst’ setting on our new camera. It has 2 different burst modes, 1 to take a series of photos from when you press the button, and store the first 10 (IIRC), and the other … Continue reading
Lent 16: Doing ‘proper’ work
I’ve been involved in the Linux/FLOSS community for about 6 years now. I’ve got involved in lots of stuff, and got the warm ‘n’ fuzzies from being able to contribute back into the community – I’m still a moderator over … Continue reading

Lent 15: Mini roundup
Well – we’re about 1/3rd a of the through the Lent postings (as previously noted, there will be 47 posts, because the 40 days of Lent doesn’t count Sundays, but I do….), and I had a few smaller items of … Continue reading

Lent 13: First Respec’
Given the amount of moaning and bad press that gets pointed towards public transport these days, I thought I would pass on my respect to First ScotRail/Buses and Glasgow City Council for the completely flawless journey to work this morning, … Continue reading

Lent 12: Fugitive Hunter
A bit of light-hearted entertainment for you today – a kind of choose-your-own adventure web-based game where you get to chase fugitives. It’s quite fun, although I found that some of the puzzles seemed to require you to do completely … Continue reading

Lent 11: Sowing a seed
Just wanted to throw out a quick idea that Al and I have been mulling over (well – I mentioned it to him once, and he agreed it was a good idea). In conjunction with the JediMoose anniversary party, we … Continue reading

Lent 10: LRL06
I thought it was probably time, as part of my Lenten series, to put it a proper plug for LUGRadio Live 2006. Quite simply, this is the premier event in the UK for the Linux community (as opposed to Linux … Continue reading

Lent 9: Liverpool bow out
Well – the game was a real disappointment last night. Not because we played particularly badly, but because we just couldn’t put the ball in the net. Again. I think Rafael Benitez has done wonders for the club, I really … Continue reading

Lent 8: Soccer and Schadenfreude
There are a few things that really bother me in football at this time – excessive posturing/politics and the huge sums of money involved – that are both in danger of eclipsing the joy and skill of the game, and … Continue reading
