Our Man @Savage sent me a nice Care Package from the good, old UK. Many thanks, Luke. It made coming back to work a bit easier.
The boss came up to me yesterday and asked if I could do an extra shift 10-8 on Saturday. Pretty shitty, till he explained that we wouldn't be in the kitchen but setting up a hogroast at some girl's 25th , which he described was going to be "seven hours of sitting round a hogroast drinking beers and smoking". also i saw deer
Since I know very little about Linux: What is the differences between that and Ubuntu which I've tried?
MUCH steeper learning curve, but beyond that you get the best overall linux distro: - Completely DIY and barebones, but without the hassle of Gentoo or Slackware - Modern, sensible filesystem (single bin folder, single lib folder, sane /etc layout, etc.) - AUR pkgbuilds for any piece of obscure software you can imagine - it really is a breath of fresh air not having to piss around compiling stuff manually when it's not in repos - FAR easier to keep software compiled from source under package control and not just loose files everywhere. In fact you have to go out of your way to NOT use the arch build system - Very rare to get dependency hell or struggle to compile things, as everything is the latest stable versions or not far off - As stable as a rolling release distro will ever be You really do need strong linux knowledge though - nothing is handed to you on a plate like ubuntu
Thought I wouldn't be able to pick up GTA 5 next week cause I spent my wages so quick. Get a cheque through the post for £80 from my old school bursary that was sent to my old address. Can now pick up GTA VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Spent most of yesterday and a couple of hours this morning trying to get Vertigo 2 working on browsers. Succeeded at about 9am today, will have a link to the alpha shortly.
12 days after abdominal surgery where they removed my colon, reformed my lower intestine and gave me a new, neat looking surgical scar, I am back home. And it feels good. If a bit tiring. So. Very. Tiring. So. Yeah. No longer carrying around pre-stage of colon cancer because I have no colon anymore! How about them taters?
I've yet to bump into Walton. So.... I'm taking that as a positive. (Unless he was that completely smashed/high/drugged kid outside the radio studio a few nights ago who we just shone our desk lamp at him and freaked out)
