Just a quick post to say, hello, and celebrate the fact that i'm on my netbook at my parents' home! :)
Predictably, they didn't know the password for the wireless internet. I thought it would be written down on a piece of paper somewhere, but no, it's worse than that … only my uncle in Yorkshire [...]

Take the test! It's really funny! :D
Your result for The Which Lolcat Are You? Test…
Longcat
Protector of truth.
Slayer of darkness.
Loooooong.
Longcat may seem like just a regular lengthy cat, but he is, in fact, looong. For proof, observe the longpic.
It is prophesized that Longcat and his archnemesis Tacgnol will battle for supremacy on Caturday. The outcome will [...]

Today was my third visit to the church. It's a good place - i like it. The people are nice, and the music is great. They play quite modern tunes, lots i've never heard before, and also a few of the good old songs. They did the dreaded 4/4 version of Be Thou My Vision [...]

I am waiting for some inspiration to occur to me about what to do for the rest of the afternoon. I know i have some chores to do (don't i always?!) but not too many today. I might watch The Bill which my sweetie kindly recorded for me in the week. I might work on [...]

I must say, this is one of the best impulse buys i have ever made! I am at my aunt and uncle's house, connected on their wifi. It is so nice to have my own computer, with all my settings, and my email and calendar, just ready to take around with me wherever i go. [...]

You know what - church was alright! :) The music was good, the people were friendly-but-not-too-pushy. Most of them seem to be from South Africa, heh! :) I might talk a little more about the church experience later … but for now …
My 'reward' for going to church, hahaha!
I love it!! I am sitting in [...]

Two exciting things might happen today. One, i might go to church, if i don't chicken out! I just feel like i want to. So i will! I can always leave if they start trying to pull any funny business on me.
Two, i might buy one of these little beauties:
Acer Aspire One A110. It's [...]

Now something inside is awakening,
Like a dream I once had and forgot.
And it's something I'm scared of
And something I don't want to stop.

I'm happy it is Friday. Lately Fridays seem to have been coming around about every 3 days, but this week felt a lot longer.
It was my turn as 'sweeper' at work, meaning i pick up the extra little things that need doing, to avoid disturbing the rest of the team. It means that i had [...]

I had a little trouble installing both Flash and Second Life on Ubuntu, since they seemed to want to use different versions of one particular library. But in the end the solution was astonishingly simple.
Download Second Life from getdeb.net. Choose your OS version and search for 'Second Life'. I got it working nice and fast, [...]
