Where do I begin ?
(posted at 10:39AM GMT)

After a week filled with non-work related stuff and general fun, I returned from Ireland early yesterday morning.

The week away from things was very much a welcome distraction from all the things I currently have 'on the boil' at Spilsby Internet Solutions; there is only so much time one can spend on writing code and implementing new stuf before their brain turns to jelly.

In an effort to get away from writing code for the moment, I have chucked Fedora Core 6 on my laptop and am absolutely astonished by Compiz/AIGLX; the free UNIXes now have a better GUI than Microsoft's finest (and yes, I'm talking about Vista rather than XP!).

Also, in other news, OpenBSD 4.0 was wheeled out the door on the 1st November so I'm having fun with that little beast as well.
