I’ve just over the last couple of days had a slew of people asking how to get a “little head” next to their posts on Planet SUSE. This has probably been triggered by me disabling the showing of a little Geeko head for those without one – there were far too many Geekos! Anyway, the …

Musical Memories
I was sat in Starbucks this morning, relaxing and reading. The piped music was Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads and it transported me to another place and another time. Specifically, it took me back around five or six years, to Borehamwood and to my office at Pinnacle Insurance. We all have songs or …

The big 2-0-0
Planet SUSE has gained feed number 200! The lucky blogger is Joerg Reuter – welcome to the planet, Joerg. Not bad for a site I started back at the start of 2004, before the days of openSUSE and that originally ran on a PC in my house accessed over my first-generation ADSL. Looking forward to …
