My view of the world and anything that might interest me.
Today as I am sitting here and reading on IRC about all the guys/gals travelling to Sydney for UDU (Ubuntu Down Under), I wished I had some money to join the guys/gals there. Well I suppose all that needs to be done is to convince sabdfl that the next Ubuntu Conference should be held here in SA and then in Cape Town.
Since Jane (she is the PM for UDU) is from Cape Town should make things a bit easier.
I have this old laptop without a hard disk and its battery is not working but it is working great with Ubuntu 4.10 LiveCD — have a look here.
Now with the release of Ubuntu 5.04 I decided it was time to download the LiveCD for it but wow what an nightmare here in South Africa or for anyone that has dialup. I have an ISDN connection with InfinityCall (that means that there is a max call charge of about R9 over off-peak) so I try to download big things over weekends and I try to use and torrent.
So I tried over this weekend and it is a slow and tedious process and while it is downloading my Internet connection is useless.
So if anybody from Cape Town has Ubuntu 5.04 LiveCD on a CD available then give me a shout and I would like to get a copy from you. Yes I did order my bunch of CD’s from shipit but that will take a while to arrive.
After the debacle of the rugby game yesterday between the Stormers and the Crusaders I have decided to five up my support to the Stormers. Until such time they look like a team that deserves to be in the top 4 of the Super 12/14, I will keep my mouth shut and say or write nothing.
I think this will be a long time since this year they not going to get anywhere. And with the new Super 14 next year I have even less hope. Please comment if you disagree.
No blog written by a South African is complete without some sport content. Luckily this weekend no South African team is playing but looking at the past 5 weeks, out of 20 games to have 2 wins and 1 draw is pathetic.
I am an avid supporter of the Stormers but even they are playing like a bunch of under thirteens. In fact most under thirteens play a lot better rugby than they do.
