I’ve been a big fan of Linux as a server platform for a long time, ever since I started mucking around with RedHat a few years ago. As IBM are taking Linux on in a big way (especially now with Novell’s acquisition of SUSE) I thought it was about time to test it out on [...]
A busy week. Work was insane for both of us, me with a trip out to Tewkesbury for a meeting on Friday but otherwise chained to the desk. Picked up the LOTR special edition on Monday and have watched a lot of it already – lots of great stuff there for aspiring filmmakers like myself. [...]
James (to Cath, in bed, reading): “What are you reading?” Cath: “Return of the King” James: “Where are you up to?” Cath: “Page 12. They’re on their way to Minas Tirith.

We’ve had a superb weekend with my Uncle Chris, who arrived on Friday for a short stay before he jets off to Brussels tomorrow for a conference. Friday was work whilst Chris visited his friend Rob in London. Saturday was the tour of Kingston and surrounds followed by dinner at Carpaccio in Chelsea with another [...]
