Just spent possibly the 2 most frustrating days ever, installing Eeebuntu onto my EeePC. Finally almost there – gotta get wireless to work.

8th picture in today’s WSJ Pictures of the day is eerie for NZers: http://ping.fm/BnVIK

Finally have a firewire disk and enclosure…so backing up for the first time in 6 months. I’ll feel completely safe in about 20 more mins.

Liking that National Bank ads are simultaneously promoting the iPhone

Sayings I don’t understand No. 1: “free as in speech, not as in beer” Huh? Beer’s not free (unless I’ve seriously misjudged pub prices)

Loading up my 2nd, 3rd and 4th laptops for sale on TradeMe

waiting impatiently for my new Eee PC laptop to turn up

Toilets here at work: reek like Satan’s bottom. Oddly, hand drying options abound: a) paper towels b) linen towels or c) hot air drier

All iTunes music may soon be DRM-unencumbered: http://ping.fm/3GIlz

Traffic chaos on the motorway tonight – so instead went out for tasty Japanese meal with cousin. Coupla beers & home for mint slices. Bliss.
