Question

I have no idea where my life is going or why it has gone the way it has.

Wow

Last Friday I said goodbye to my form as they have been for the last five years. Very emotional for both parties as I have been like a surrogate father to them. I have cared, understood their worries and solved their problems.

I have been overwhelmed by the gifts they bought me and more so by the words they wrote - it has made all of the stress worth while. I have never felt this way before, so proud of what they have achieved and pleased that I was able to be a part of their journey - I will miss them.

Wonderful Wubi

I've been messing around with Ubuntu and discovered the Wubi way of installing it on Windows. So, after using Fixmbr to restore the Windows Boot Loader I downloaded the Ubuntu iso and Wubi and went for it. I have never been overly happy with Grub on a Windows System as if you wanted to remove and replace your Linux distribution you could not simply delete your Linux partition and start again.

I have been running it for a week or so on a Laptop and a PC. And it is starting to drag me back to using a proper operating system after years away from Sun Solaris and OpenVMS.
