Don't shop at PC World if you have a modicum of IT knowledge (like how to turn the computer on): they think replacing Windows with Linux causes the hinges to spontaneously disintegrate invalidating the warranty. Not to fear! Head Office are always in contact with their stores to let them know whats going on ...

"I know of at least one person who was refused a job there (PCW) for being over qualified for the position. He was a uni student too."
Hell, my hamster is overqualified for PCW.
He's me thinking I could of got a summer job with them ...

Xorg 7.3 is compiled and ready to go, just gotta move stuff about for the updated packages. (No more mucking about with xorg.conf files ... ;-)

Hmm, someone also stole the cover from the door bell. Not the unit, just the cover. I suppose it was sorta shiny and looked "hi-tech" or expensive. Never mind.

So, Lapwing-Linux for the rest of the month. :-)

Now, chasewater. I have had enough of the Chief Ape and his 3 wise monkeys. They seem to think that, as they are directors, they can treat other working members who aren't directors as employees; shouting at them for getting things wrong, shouting at them when the monkey has made an error, taking out their anger on them when things don't go their way, and they expect us to put up with it; it does not work that way. There are a growing number of members who have had enough of this childish behaviour and won't tolerate it any more.

Roll on the next AGM, there won't be a monkey left on the board.
