Vague invitation to speak at Notts LUG about [open]SUSE. Nice. Will be sticking this on opensuse at opensuse dot org too, but I’m going to throw this open to my fellow hackers and packagers to say: What should I tell them about SUSE?Would I be able to get hold of any official freebies to give …

Nero
We’ve got a new Caffe Nero in Beeston. It’s so new, in fact, that it’s not even in their online store locator yet. Anyway, I’m sat there at the moment, and in spite of the fact that their leaflet on Wi-Fi says it’s a pay-for service, I’m online for free. I suspect it’s not their …

Warning, reading this blog may get you arrested.
As might reading this blog or this article. That’s right folks, it’s time we kissed goodbye to any notion of free speech or especially freedom of press in this country. Under the guise of fighting terrorism1, this government has been steadily eroding our freedoms our liberties and our rights since 1997. It is time for …

More second amendment musings
[Ref]Okay, so I had an email from one Richard Meyer which got me giving some further thought to the issue of the second amendment. First off, it needs to be said that Richard’s an Aussie (commiserations on the Italy game incidentally, that was never a penalty) and I’m a Brit, so the constitution doesn’t affect …

Tell me why…
…I don’t like Mondays… Well, today’s been okay actually. Had a nice lunch with Rachel (I provided pickle, cos y’know, sometimes you just have some pickle to hand) and morning prayer at college was pretty cool – it’s a liquid worship type affair this week, and I’m providing some percussive sounds. Updated Mauricio‘s hackergotchi on …

Random, disconnected thoughts
Nice one Stephan on the Kerry 0.2 packages, and for providing Beagle packages, I’ve also got 0.2.7 packages up (must get myself a Build Service account…) which include the risky, unstable, do not use unless you have a death wish, insecure Epiphany extension and the Python bindings. Oh yeah, you can get them i686 optimised …

Ecuadooooooor!
England 1-0 EcuadorAbsolutely rubbish performance by England, save for about five minutes or so after the Beckham goal. None if Eriksson’s experiments worked in my view. Carrick was useless in the holding role, most of the time when the ball came to him he just passed it back to one of the centre-halves (who were …

Food, food, food
Dinner with Liz last night, was great to see her and catch up (after all, it had been a massive six days since we’d seen her!). It’s her ordination next Sunday. She made a lovely chicken dish in BBQ style sauce followed by a gorgeous chocolate brownie, hot with ice cream. This morning was the …

A whole week has passed
And what have I achieved? CTW204 and BS204 were in on time. Had a very fruitful meeting at Trent Uni on Tuesday before spending the afternoon tidying, cleaning etc so that I could have the guys round to watch the England match in the evening. Wednesday had the induction for year three at college which …

Weekend
What a weekend! Saturday was the college Commissioning Service (photos), quite an emotional time saying farewell to this year’s leavers. Saturday evening we went to Derby to warm Liz’s house with a BBQ. Quality moment at about 18:59 when a chorus of “Doctor Who time!” went up and everyone decamped to the living room to …
