So, I've downloaded the beta release of the new Ubuntu OS 8.04 Hardy Heron. I'll write some propaganda for it on the 25th ( The actual full release date. )
With it being in beta you would expect some updates, and there are some, but I know when my bandwidth is going to be used by them, unlike Windows Update, and that it won't be used to update internet explorer, also unlike Windows Update.

What the hell is it with roadworks? I've always moaned that they seem to appear at the same time but now they've got it to a tee!

I'm sick of shuffling around pieces of paper for one lifetime. I still get letters from my bank or from the tax office on paper and it drives me mad. I tidy my room, free of clutter then suddenly some more "important" letters come and I have to faff around retidying again. They sit on the side for half a week before I get round to them.
