So, finally got here after 23:00 yesterday, good night’s sleep largely due to exhaustion I think. Now at the Chaplaincy office, again with no internet connection, how will I cope? Maybe I can find a new hotspot in the town centre later – there weren’t any usable ones when I lived here… Should I find …

I hate public transport
So, today was my journey to Watford, and it can be noted from the date and time on this entry that it is currently 21:26 (although it will be later by the time I finish typing). I was supposed to be in Watford at 18:59, but I’m actually on a Virgin train just south of …

G8
Watched The Girl in the Caf? tonight on BBC1, one of the most compelling pieces of television I’ve seen in a long long time, and the important message of it was that people in Edinburgh next weekend have the power to change the world. Continue to put pressure on them to do so!

Configuring a Lexmark Z35 Colour Jetprinter on SuSE 9.3
I own a Lexmark Z35, which I bought because it was described as supporting Linux. For some time I used to use it, using Lexmark’s (frankly rubbish) LPD drivers. They sucked, largely because I have a network at home, Amanda my wife has her own PC (currently running SuSE 9.1, 9.3 soon), and I have …

Friday
Well, last day of term today (although, we’re on CTP placements for the next two weeks, and then we have another week in college after that – go figure…) I led worship at the end of term service, which was a lot of fun, and the whole service seemed to go really well. So, I’ve …

GTK+ 2.7.0
Luis: Just doing an APT upgrade on my 9.3 box, and there’s an updated glib2 package, version 2.7.0 in the kde(!) component. I’m going to look into doing a full GTK+ upgrade to 2.7.0 when I have a bit of time, and of course, packages…

Bono in The Guardian
Great article in The Guardian (front page on the dead tree version) about how Bono is going about winning over the right (including the religious right) in the US to the cause of Africa.

Packaging yet again
Hmmm, seems that whenever Luis or I post on the packaging list it’s like putting a lit match in a hornets’ nest… Makes one wonder if there’s any point… On another note, who do I look like..? Amanda says that my new hackergotchi makes me look like I have a double chin. On the other …

Wednesday
Today’s CTP schedule was cancelled, so it’s been a day off. Nice. Amanda’s out on girlie night, so I’ve been doing the default action of watching the West Wing. Specifically, just watched The Midterms, and noticed that James Denton, who plays Mike Delfino in Desperate Housewives plays Tom, Sam’s friend who runs for Congress. Favourite …
