I know most of you aren’t interested in hearing about my personal life, but hey! Some of this might interest you.
Today I did the John Hughes Big Walk - an 18km walk from Perth to Fremantle. It’s an excellent event, made memorable by the fact that, before the start, I saw one of the other entrants wearing a Linux.conf 2003 shirt! Very nice… I wish I could get one of those.
During the walk, I saw someone else wearing a Hi-5 backpack.
After the walk, when I got back to my car at the train station, I found that I’d left the headlights on, and the battery was as flat as a pancake. One booster battery and 5 minutes of solid idling later, my mate finally put enough juice into the car to start it.
Just now, I was asked to be on the Ubuntu Podcast, probably as a regular! I’m usually going to be doing the ‘cast with Sal, so I suppose I’ll have to set up my GDM login screen to go into KDE; I really need to familiarise myself with KDE now 
I’ve also decided, after much thought, that I’m going to stop supporting my Internet friends with their computer (Windows) troubles. I’ll continue to help my real-life buddies, my grandfather and anyone who wants to pay me 
I’ll also provide technical support for Linux, for all my friends. I’m sure I’ll make exceptions now and then with the Windows support, but I’m tired of being called upon to compensate for Microsoft’s faulty design.
