Australian gold medal diver: "I’m the only gay in the Olympic village!"
At work we had some 20 inch LCD TVs, for $199 each. Yeah I know, that’s ridiculously cheap! We had 40 of them, and allocated them all literally within 24 hours. I got one, originally because I was going to sell it for a fat profit, but I’ve now realised that the TV in my bedroom is only a 14 inch, so the new LCD will replace that as soon as I get a hand lifting the old one off.
Remember my colleague who bought a hand-built computer from me with Ubuntu preinstalled? She’s been talking to one of her friends (who I used to work with) about Ubuntu, and how it doesn’t need an anti-virus program. Now this friend wants me to install Ubuntu on her notebook. I’m not sure of the wisdom of switching operating system just so you don’t have to buy an anti-virus program, but I know that my colleague is happy with Ubuntu as a whole. In any case, I’m going around there tomorrow night to check compatibility, back up her data and then install Ubuntu, so I’ll bring along the live CD and she can have a play around with that to see if she still likes it.
She’s a computer novice (I taught her how to copy and paste), so on a superficial level Linux should be pretty similar. I can always adjust Gnome to make it more Windows-like if she really wants.
Yesterday after work, my Dad and I went to Chopin’s cafe in Joondalup. They make a nice coffee that doesn’t upset my insides, and I urge you to try their fruit slice. It’s more of a European cafe than those Australian ones with all the wooden panelling and stuff. They’ve won awards. Chopin’s is on Grand Boulevard, Joondalup, and is open 7 days - I think it’s open from 7am to 5pm.
