Wow - best of luck. Meeting you at the first UK Maker Faire years ago when you ran a session loosely titled "what's the equivalent of the BBC Micro and what should we be doing now" gave me great faith in so many things.

A beautifully put paean to a bygone moment, Ant - took me back there for a moment too.

I managed two days working at the new Waterstones. It...was not good for the soul.

Still gutted the Travel Bookshop near Centre House shut. That place was awesome! Got my idea for the Egypt trip with a book called "With the Camel Corps Down the Nile" in there.

Replace laptop with Raspberry Pi. Keep screen at work, use Tv at home. Carry in pocket.

Downside. Reduction in ability to lie in sofa watching Quincy when working from home.

Oh my word! I really do hope you get better very soon. Please let me know if I can be of help in any way. Sorry to hear about this but hopefully it will be remembered as a useful warning sign that steered your life and/or way of life in a new, healthier & happier direction :-(

(Though I'd contend that it's not as bad as that).

I've asked Uri Geller to channel you some good vibes, as I don't go in for that sort of thing myself. Do yourself further injury attempting to do internetting and I'll come round there and beat you myself,

2010-05-21T14:12:56.668+04:30

If win7 works then nope, but evidence available to date suggests that getting win7 running on this beast is a real pain. It's down to drivers, especially for the SLUI video and Raid controller. Win7 is meant to use the Vista drivers, and they are a bit bleugh. So, will probably load up XP, and then stack on Ubuntu and then Win7 in stages.

Much point in dual-booting with XP vs Win7 when Win7 has a virtualised XP mode anyway?

GPS! Then you can track it down when you lose it, or people can find you when you're lost. That kid who got lost in the Blue Mountains - no mobile phone, but if he'd had a GPS umbrella, why, they'd have picked him up in no time.
And you could track your journey, and you could even compare your umbrella's understanding of your journey with your phone's, to see which is most

Good idea, but what if you spend a fortune on a hi-tech brolly and then leave it on a bus? Perhaps it would also have to be telescopic so it could fix to your bag.
