Asleep on a Train

I have finally built the shed and this note is to remind to re tell that tale...soon

I've always been a geek, but it must be bigger part of me than I want to freely admit. As I was reading my randomly delivered emails into one of my 4 active email accounts, on my Ubuntu powered hand-built desktop PC, I noticed an ad for a Geeky Christmas Gift for a 7 port USB device. Now, it shocked me to see this, as I have had one of these devices for a couple of years now (exactly the same) and I assumed that everyone would also have one. Why shouldn't they. It just makes common sense to have a device that takes one USB port and allows seven other devices to plug into it. OH Duh! I had to show you what I 'm talking about, so I dived into the Ubuntu Synaptic Package Manager, ran a search for a screen shot application (not an app but an APPLICATION -sigh- I'm so over the Apple istocracy laziness of certain marketing ppl - whoops I meant to type people) loaded the application, reopened the email, figured out what keyboard sequence I needed to use, snapped the port...

I don't like December. Christmas is in your face, people rush to get things done 'before the break', Australia goes on holiday for 6 bloody long weeks, the sun heats up the land and people's tempers. Basically, I'd be happier if we just skipped it straight into mid Feb. However, doing that means I'd miss out on my birthday. I guess I better just "Harden the F up' Ok This is me HTFU.
