Another month, another update 😛
Well loads of things have changed in the past month or two, some are quite interesting to say the least! So starting with work and whats happening there.
All the project work from october is almost complete, just doing the usual “bugfixing” you do with IT projects (why do they never go smoothly?) and on the last “leg” of the rollout and that’s over 18 months of major work behind us 🙂
Some good news as well! all the hard work paid off and we finally succeeded, as of the 1st of February, there is now two more permenant members of staff at work in the department, and im one of them 😀
Hope this doesn’t mean that our health will suffer now! Andy (he’s one of the other engineers who was already permenant) is always injured or at physio, we blame his urge to play rugby. Jaymes our boss is now cripple #2 with a foot injury, muscle damage has put him on crutches for a few days to keep the weight off it. Im gonna go take out health insurance while i still can just in case!
Recently decided to give Ubuntu a try, Im not the best with Linux and I felt like giving it a stab as a “desktop” operating system, so grabbed the latest version and felt daring enough to jam it onto a Toshiba A60 laptop (courtesy of work) with an iffy wireless card.
Im amazed its working (yes I am posting this through Linux on the wireless connection!) and it was not that hard to set everything up, it all just worked out of the box bar the wireless card, which needs a couple of tweaks to get it working.
Its wierd, more so because its now user friendly and simple to set up 🙂
I have now lost track of what other things I was going to post!
Ah well, they will come back to me soon! 🙂
