Finished

Saturday, July 21st, 2007

The last book (spoiler warning) in the series. 14.5 hours start to finish with a few breaks.

Packages

Sunday, July 15th, 2007

I have been playing with packaging for Ubuntu and Debian for a while now and I have one fairly useful package called rsnapshot-scripts which contains a bunch of scripts for use with rsnapshot. It allows you to backup other data sources like MySQL, DPKG and Subversion.

News travels fast?

Apparently not, it has only taken the BBC around a month to report on this story. Although I must say I have seen the car and it’s very pretty and makes a good noise :)

Absent

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

I have been neglecting my blog over the past couple of weeks, really a combination of laziness, forgetfulness, and other signs of uselessness. Saying that though, I now have a job, working at Tesco, oh the joys! Although it will probably help me loose weight scanning food all day kinda does the opposite of what I expected it would. Some of the things customers purchase are rather off putting, they are generally wet, slimey and should be in the sea. Also discovered Indian newspapers are somewhat biased but just ever so slightly! I also got my degree results for my first year 2:1 whoop!
