I find myself surprised
I find myself surprised to be agreeing with David Miliband today – to an extent at least. Writing in the Guardian today, he says that the use of the term War on Terror is wrong and serves to galvanise the will of terrorists. It does more than this in fact, it serves as a recruiting …

openSUSE 11.1: Good things!
Well, I’ve installed 11.1 on weasel, my desktop machine and have discovered the following good things: I can now hibernate and successfully thaw weasel – I couldn’t do this with 11.0 and previous versions. What’s more on my relatively humble machine (AthlonXP 1700+/768M RAM), from selecting the kernel image in Grub to providing my password …

openSUSE 11.1 box
Martin mentioned that his openSUSE 11.1 box had arrived – mine did too. It actually came yesterday but no-one was in to receive it at the time.
