Ubuntu’s generally splendid Linux distribution came up to version 8.04 a few days ago. The three Ubuntu systems in my life were headed for an upgrade! First off a Kubuntu laptop I use for work. Fairly vanilla configuration. Upgrade took a while due to a *lot* of downloads, but it went well and the upgraded […] It’s an honour and a privilege to elevate two-fingers at the people trying to censor Dan – he of Dan’s Data, one of the better (and more idiosyncratic) technology sites on the Internet. Go to his site and see the story posted today, 19th February 2008, about how Firepower are being a pain and coming […] Install the Operating System As detailed in the Introduction, we’re going to drop a standard install of Ubuntu Server Edition on here, and then customise for various additional functionality.

I like it a lot, and have done for years. I use it every day (literally) and always look forward to new versions. They just get better and better. KDE 4 was finally […] How easy is this going to be?

One day I was stupid enough to want to move HotRecorder from one old, […] Media servers for Pinnacle Showcenter 1000 I’ve had a Pinnacle Showcenter 1000 for a while now. It was one of the first “simple client – smart server” devices around, and is still a great device for getting music, photos and video from a PC to a hi-fi stack and TV. The Showcenter itself is […] Bioshock is one of the most talked about games (PC and console) to be released in recent times.
