Can someone please tell me why an elederly, frail, senile, recently had major surgery, man is being shown on TV. He may be the representative of the Catholic faith but surely not even they would begrudge him the right to die privately. After all the publicity of the Shiavo case (not quite the same I know, but it was still a very public death) maybe some compassion would creep in. Time for the pickled eggs I say, let the man die in peace and with some dignity.

It's a long drag from New Year to Easter but finally I get some downtime. I was going to fix that damn gate but the weather has turned pretty cold again, so it's back indoors. I've partially rebuilt the bathroom, new bath, vanity, toilet, tiles, etc now it's just the small details. I hate small stuff, small stuff takes real time and effort. Big stuff is easy, you can make excuses for big stuff. The devil is in the detail, if you mess up then it will show all the time. I can't get no inspira...

It's been good for me, almost 2 months without getting itchy fingers, but dammit I will, nay must reinstall. I just can't help it, I feel the need and the urge must be obeyed. This time I will install the nice new Linux iso I downloaded yesterday. and maybe that 64 bit version of XP too. Not that I've got the faintest idea of why or how, I just will. And then I will be happy again, for about a month.

A lot of people hate him, but can't give a really good reason why. He's made a lot of money from cornering the desktop/office software market, but hey who wishes they hadn't thought of it first. He dropped out of Harvard, one of America's finest education establishments, and is now a multi billionaire, who says that you must stay in school to be a success? His company is one of the most successful in the world, ever. OK they may have strangled some of the opposition in the process but I bet ...

Well here goes my first dip into the blog pool. I'm a 38 year old married man, with a beautiful wife and daughter. we don't live in a rose covered cottage but it's pretty cosy. We have 2 cats, a fairly big garden, nice neighbours, 2 cars, 2 PC's and a laptop (daughter). I need to fix the garden gate.
