She’s Packing.

I’ve decided that I’m finally going to part with my dearly beloved. Yes you’ve read that right. It’s time for us to split, to go our own ways. It’s not without a heavy heart that I say goodbye as she was the first one that I could genuinely call smart. Yes there where times when she was groggy and grumpy or full of fun and excitement, but we all have our moments. Yes indeed, it is time to say goodbye to my HTC Hero.

She was my first smartphone and I loved it from the first moment I opened the box. The knowledge that was at my fingertips any time I wanted it, or just to surf the net, read my facebook updates or spend ages trawling through my twitter feed and of course the hours spent playing Angry Birds (curse of a game if you ask me).

So what’s next on the cards? It can only be the HTC Ace Desire HD. “What’s so special about this phone Michael?” I hear you aks. Well lets see:

Screen: 4.3″
Processor: 1GHz
756 MB of RAM,
1.5 GB internal memory,
8 Megapixel camera,
720p HD Video recording,

Jealous much?

Linux

I’ve been running Linux for the last month or so on my netbook. I love using it, it’s simple, fast and easy for the most part. It loads up in a minute or two, unlike windows which loads up in a minute or two also, but then spends the next three or four loading shit loads of programs and apps that I most likely won’t use.

I have very little trouble with linux, Ubuntu to be precise. That was until recently and it was my fault. I uninstalled it in error and tried to reinstall it and it worked, for a few days atleast. Now I can’t even get it to install!!

I think that maybe the iso image that I am using for Ubuntu maybe damged of corrupt somehow. I am trying to install it on a PC which I am working on the moment for someone, but it won’t install on that either. I download the ISO for opensuse yesterday and plan to install that on both the netbook and the PC and see how it goes.

Dispite the problems I might be having with PCs and my netbook, I love trying to problem shoot them and see if I can get them all going again. I am currently setting up a new wireless network around my apartment so that I can link all my PCs, laptops, notebooks, DAB radio and TV together, regardless of where they are in the apartment. I shall write a post about the again another time.

Hacked

Some of you may have noticed that this site was hacked yesterday evening. Unfortunately I had not backed up the last post that I had written. It was a post about my new HTC Hero phone, an iPhone killer??? Anyway I posted a video about it. You can watch it below.

Will be backing up from now on a bit more frequently, will also be talking a closer look at my sites security.
