Started playing around with gentoo, after the difficult task of resizing the ‘buntu partition I did the basic install, mostly things went well. So I now have a working system (still a few problems to iron out) and I still have a lot to install.

I’m calling for everyone to boycott eurovision as the BBC are using it to replace Dr Who tonight. We want Dr Who. So if we get the viewer ratings down, the BBC might think twice next year.

Just doing my bit.

Been playing around with tikiwiki more, hit a couple of snags. Logins and registration is currently problematic (only for x_rob). Also linuxteens is changing name too teenlug!

I’ve been experimenting with tikiwiki in the hope of putting it on the ltbot site, tiking the site closed for maintanence box was a bad move.

I’ve also written some code for ltbot.

MySQL and apache managed to fix themselves on aptitude update and so I have manage to import the old blog enteries.

However update has wrecked my NVIDIA graphics driver. I’m already missing Beryl and Xorg

A couple of the linuxteens guys started writing a IRC bot in ruby today, well it is now the official ltbot development tree! It is under a BSD license and is available through svn!

Downloaded the 64 bit Kubuntu Feisty Fawn ISO to burn and install on my new laptop. Windows will be off it as soon as I know I have a rescue disc (to install in a virtual machine).

Now I just have to wait ’till my birthday.

It’s my birthday pretty soon (18th) and so a laptop was ordered on sunday.

Check it out:

The chipset is fully supported by opensource drivers!

Hello and welcome to my new blog.
I never did fix my MySQL problems so I can’t import my old blog posts, sorry.
