Should I post more?
I had hoped that I’d find a more convenient way of writing into this blog. I’m not a diary keeper or a writer, normally, but I’ve been hacking about with things, running into problems and finding novel solutions to things…

Is Linux in its difficult teen years?
Assuming you were lucky and had only jumped from one good Microsoft Desktop OS to the next good Microsoft Desktop OS, I reckon your upgrade path would have gone: DOS3.2->DOS6.22->Windows 95c->Windows 98 SE->Windows 2000->Windows 7 All the other steps like…
Around around we go…

Images uploaded and site started….
