September Update

I thought I’d post a small update on what’s been happening.

I recently got myself my first car, I’ve been doing my driving lessons over the last 6 months. I’m almost at the end of finishing before I move onto my P plates, I guess I’ve noticed some things which can be irritating for most drivers. The price of petrol, bike riders on the road, the cost of comprehensive insurance.

I’ve also been given the word that I will be moving onto full time employment at Westminster School, I’m just waiting on the paperwork to find out how much I’ll get paid! But that also means I’ll be putting less time towards my freelance work. There are still some ongoing projects I’ll maintain and update. But I’ll be thinking twice about taking on any extra work.

I’m also reinstalling Ubuntu onto my laptop, but thinking of installing Vista Home Basic back on to sell it. And hopefully throw that money into an external 1TB HDD for storage as they are on special currently. Mainly I just want to have a look at the Gutsy Gibson distro and have a play around with it in my spare time.

I’ve also bought some Logitech Z4′s to replace my old Altec Lansing speakers, I stayed with 2.1 stereo however they have a small remote for adjusting sound and inputs for my my headset so I don’t have to crawl behind the PC to plug them in.

Last but not least I’m considering a PC upgrade soon, I’m yet to launch into the Dual Core stuff on my home rig yet as I haven’t had the money and possibly a Vista based machine. Still deciding on that one.
