The time has come and following in my big brother’s footsteps…i have made the jump to Linux at last! Being in Bangkok with my laptop and having my brother’s extensive expert exptertise on hand was the perfect time…and he has guided/pushed/pulled/directed my route to Fedora Core 5 (new window)…a juicy operating system funded by Red [...]
Bit of a let down to be honest…despite growing up wanting to wear a red cape with a big F on my chest (would have been happy to forget about the dodgy colour co-ordinated banana hammock), the latest offering is a bit crap. Missed some of the ending as i fell asleep…which kinda says a [...]
Google has made public it’s letter to the city of San Fransisco (PDF file download) regarding security concerns raised on it’s plans to implement city-wide free WiFi.

Although quite widely known…it’s still a good point (however ironic it may be coming from a murdering dictator!). But, it is very true. I’ve often thought that a film that shows you [...]
After a cracking week on Kho Phangan, Roland and i were to head down to Perhentian to meet up with Suzy, Al and Lindsay on the beach for a few days, where Sunny has a dive school (new window). Sadly, we never quite made it…and now i’m back in Bangkok after over 30 hours on [...]
I’m now the proud owner of an interesting new haircut courtesy of Roland’s wallet – who’s the fool now that i’m 100 baht richer! Huh! However, chilling on this beach is pretty good…and makes all of life’s problems float away (not that there’s many in the first place!). The nightly poi show is pretty darn [...]
On the wonderful island of Kho Phangan just now, and it is pretty darn cool. The last time i was here, it was only for 23 hours…a mad trip for the full moon party – however, this time we’ve landed right inbetween two full moons so the island is pretty quiet – which suits us [...]
