Song of the day: Barcelona – I Have the Password To Your Shell Account
(because it might be the geekiest song I know – listen to it here)

I just found that there’s a Devon and Cornwall GNU/Linux User Group. I joined instantly, though I think it’s wiser not to let the people know about the operating system this laptop is running on…
I hadn’t thought it would take so long to have my proper computer sent over. I suppose gaining some Windows experience is good in a way –I have actually added it to my CV– but now I’m really starting to miss running a computer from the command line. Or just having a computer that acknowledges the fact that I, as a user, might know better what I want than it does, so it doesn’t suggest me what to do all the time.
(Thinking about that last remark, perhaps it wouldn’t be such a bad idea if Microsoft would deliver the software for voting machines. Some people could do with a suggestion, I’d say…)
