Hackergotchi, n.: Yet another weird FLOSS movement byproduct.
Thanks Matt. Now all I need is a jcm South Park character… I suppose I could play with the new GIMP 2.2 I have freshly installed. Actually, I’m now strongly considering just sticking Ubuntu breezy on the Powerbook and being done with it. There was a time when I really cared about installing it all the hard way and fighting the early issues with getting Debian to work on one of these babies – but I just don’t care enough any more. I know how to setup gnome-volume-manager, D-BUS, hald, etc. but I’d kinda rather it just worked in a supportable way for on the move laptop use.
Didn’t get a whole lot done outside today. I think it’s the weather not being so great. I’m aiming to get other stuff done at home though – tomorrow I am in Bracknell anyway, so I get forced to go outside for a few hours. I’ll take my bike if the tyre is holding after I figured out why the value had gotten slightly stuck in the “deflate slowly” position. I want a Marin.
I mailed martin about meeting up while I’m in Edinburgh (434 miles away roughly). Hmmm. So far that’s one jriddell and an mling to catch up with – anyone else hanging around the area and want to meet up?
I lost 18 hours of my life on the latest series of 24 and wasn’t much enthused for all that. The ending was particularly pants considering it was meant to be the culmination of so much CTU effort. But, that’s Hollywood for you. There’s a new show coming out about people trapped on an island that’s apparently (according to one clc) the “new 24″, but I’d settle for just having a little less suckage. Still, it’s my own fault for watching it 
Jon.
