Another Christmas survived.

It wasn’t half bad, actually – got to catch up with Paul and his missus among other relatives I don’t see too frequently. As usual, the food is plentiful and good. Sleeping on the couch (as per tradition for me) was not so good and my back is absolutely

Pre-Christmas message :-)

A few things: Life: * Spending Christmas with the family this year. As is tradition, I’ll be sleeping on the couch/floor/other non-bed flat surface. * Dad is not well, unfortunately. We’ll find out more next week from the specialist. * Organized a fortnight off work starting new year. I’

Because I've not put one up for a while.

…here’s a desktop screenshot. [https://i0.wp.com/www.enlartenment.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/oct2006screen.jpg] I’ve been running GNOME for who knows how long now – thought about KDE (nah) and Fluxbox (almost..) but stuck with what I know best. It just Works. I’ve also
