For some reason my sound card kernel module wasn’t loading at startup (PEBCAK) error, modules which are loaded on startup in ubuntu are held in the file /etc/modules – it’s a debian thing
Been having a few problems with a house mate hopefully he will take a hint.
At work I’ve mostly been co-ordinating (and doing) the customer upgrades roll out of the latest version of AchieveForms of which I have had quite a lot of imput to via the testing stages it has gone through. Upgrading is always quite a tricky thing because we’re expected to put everything back to how it was even if the product has changed.
Outerweb – the primarily IRC based network that I run has sucessfully merged with AthemeNet http://www.atheme.net/ OuterWeb will continue to exist and we should as soon as the servers have been updated have a linked server. In the mean time we are using their servers. The services database has been merged into AthemeNet’s services as best as possible if there are any problems please tell me. (grouped nicks and vhosts are known issues at the moment)
Thanks to everyone for sticking it out during the disruption caused by the merger. Also thanks to the AthemeNet staff who have been very patient and helpful.
Very pleased with my desktop’s performance at the moment. I’ve got a WD Raptop 74GB SATA drive which runs at 10,000rpm as aposed to the nromal 7200 rpm. Also the 1.5GB of ram which I put in it has vastly speed up using VMware in particular (of which the player is now freee!) the only problem with the player is that you don’t get a graphical editor for the vm, but you can easily edit the .vmx file for the VM – it’s pretty simple.
Easter holiday was good – Went to Hatfield House which is our “local” stately home, which was pretty interesting especial a document was a “family tree” which linked the Queen (happy birthday) to pretty much every “great/hero” including directly Adam and Eve. Went to london with family for a concert in St Martins-in-the-fields (of Trafalgar Square) we heard Handle – Messiah (we like sheep etc.. you know the one) performed by The english chamber choir and belmont Ensemble if london

I dont really think handels messiah did say anything about liking sheep but I suppose they are quite nice and I wouldn’t be supprised if he did quite like them and he decided to sing about them. Anyway Thos is right, i dont think it was our current monarch that is claimed to be linked to Adam and co. but I guess she would be related as well since she is a relative… this comment is kinda long isn’t it.
…wow now everyones commented on this!
hmm ok i’ll stop writting now.
