My life seems to go in cycles, I either have hardly anything to do or I don’t have a spare minute. I’m kind of inbetween at the moment, but edging once again toward the latter. Which is good, I don’t like having time to get bored.

This weekend we went and bought a new desk for my little office (I use that term very loosely…it’s more like half a room and half a dumping ground currently). It’s a nice desk though, and I’ve now moved my two PC’s (one for windows, one for linux) into the ‘office’. So hopefully now I’ll be able to concentrate better and consequently get more work done. Plus it’s a convenient escape zone, a very handy bonus!

I’m sharing my office with D2, our cute little lovebird (we sadly lost R2 some time ago). I think he appreciates the peace too, though for such a cute looking thing he can’t half make some noise when he wants to.

My daughter also managed to get yet another virus on her PC, so it was another format and reinstall job. Which we’re fed up with doing now, so I’m in the process of converting her to linux. I spent most of last night installing Ubuntu and configuring it to make it more appealing to her. Hasn’t really got her convinced so far, but I’m not giving up yet! She wants her webcam and custom smilies and nudges and winks and whatever else 12yr olds like to play with. Trying to convince her that sacrificing a few frills for better security is a tough job.

On a completely different note, the CSS reboot is drawing ever near, so this may be my last post here until then. I have no idea what direction I’m going to take the design in yet, so it’s high time I got down to it.
