The Computing Mock was cancelled, not sure whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Stop the press! The Google web site just had a makeover! OK, so it’s barely changed, but people who use it daily will know what I mean. Interestingly, the Google Directory has been taken off the front page and added to the list of extra Googly features on another page. Also, Froogle has been added to the front page, not sure why with google.co.uk as all the prices are in USD.
Maybe there will be talk about it in the Google Newsletter… Stop looking at me like that… what? what is it? I am *not* sad. Oh well, it’s only a matter of time until Google becomes corrupt and evil due to all the money it makes, then we can all hate them. Just imagine the power a corrupt Google would have at its fingertips… Did you know MacDonalds owns Pizza Hut and numerous other multinational companies? did you? hmm? djkoa did.
lauperr had an insight into my world today which I think may have scared her a little. I was just explaining the in depth reasoning for the naming of all my computers (thoddo had just joined the family) and she gave me a funny look. It was over the Internet, but I could tell all the same.
After two attempts at installing Debian on Thoddo and upgrading the kernel I still couldn’t get the network card to work, so I’ve admitted defeat and installed knoppix 3.3 for now so I can at least use it. I may put a 20Gb hard disk in it and I’m determined to get Windows dual booted on it just to prove it can be done. May need a fridge to do it though because it overheats, or perhaps I could take it to tux’s hideout in antarctica. Not sure he’d appreciate me installing Windows though…
I’ve sent off the geek test for that job application, fingers crossed. Had an interesting General Studies lesson for a change.
mchicago seems not to be enjoying his final year work very much, I hope I didn’t make matters worse by distracting him over the weekend.
Arrrgghhh Coursework!
P.S. do you think it’s convention to put the artist first or song name first when writing what music you’re listening to.
P.P.S. I hate P.S.s
