And I’ve come up with a new little website! You can see it at http://c6h12o6.co.uk.

It’s pretty much full valid xHTML which also uses PHP includes, and I’ve been using it as a testbed for learning things like CSS (mostly the syntax, I was always able to modify it). Next up is a testbed for Javascript, methinks. Or some more PHP.

With other news, I’ve blocked all email addresses with AOL because I was hit by a spambot (and probably from a botnet, there were a million different IPs), so sorry if you are a legitimate user :/ You can always register an email with Google or whatever.I’ve also added reCaptcha, which I find to be an easyish one (I normally fail at them!) :P

Aside from all this, I haven’t done too much with Linux. I did, however, set up a music streaming server over the local network, so there might be a tutorial in the works for that.

Which is why I haven’t posted. I have, however, decided I will once again try to learn how to program, this time C# through Mono.

Here is what I have so far:

Here’s a conundrum that I came across the other day: what does one call a Linux computer?

We all know that an Apple computer is a Mac; and you must have seen the recent adverts by Micro$oft with their new slogan: “I’m a PC.” So, the question I pose is “Can Linux also use the term PC (Personal Computer) or has the term become too ingrained with Windows to be used for a computer running Linux?”.

Avant window navigator is a Mac OS X like dock for your Linux system. It works as an application launcher/switcher, and also has a wide range of other apps for your convenience. It is also very easy to set up to boot!

Note: you must have a 3D compatible graphics card driver for this to function correctly. Also note that this guide is written with Ubuntu in mind; however the configuration setup should be largely the same for any distro.

Hello :) I suppose I should say what this website is about. As you can see, it is currently a default wordpress installation, sans default entry. I intend it to talk about my travails with Linux, more specifically Ubuntu.

So perhaps I should start by telling you a bit about myself? Well I am 16, male, and have long hair. My interests include computing, gaming, and reading. All pretty standard perhaps.
