Good morning.
I hope that all recording projects etc. go well today for everyone.
I'm up late, feeling a bit meh. Should have gone to bed earlier rather than struggling on with interview transcription.
But I did, so I'd better make the most of it.
No use crying of spilt limk.

You are so conscientious and hard-working h-h!  I think I'll give up trying to turn you into a party animal.  Grin You don't seem to give yourself much time off these days.

Well partly the reason I'm working so hard this weekend is because I had two nights off in the week that I shouldn't really have had!
Once I've got this little essay written and ready to go, I've got to edit the parts for a new piece, which are also needed for Monday morning. Monday then has to be spent on various work admin things, but at some point I have to tackle the proper programming for this KATASMAGORIA thing I'm playing on Thursday let alone practising (well, writing would be a good start  Roll Eyes we'll have to see if there's time) the piano part, preparing this week's teaching, marking harmony assignments etc..
I'm supposed to have some kind of work load model to stop me being overloaded, but something seems to have gone a bit wrong...!

I got up while it was still dark (unusual for me), my body is flooded with (natural) chemicals that are telling me that everything is lovely.
This will wear off, but for the time being I'm quite glad to be awake and almost ready to go to work.
I have to:
a) submit my written work for the PGC TLHE
b) produce parts for an ensemble piece
c) answer the 60 emails I received between Friday 2pm and Monday 9am
d) write some assessment criteria
e) lead a madrigal rehearsal (which could be a little stressful unless everyone turns up prepared and ready)
which reminds me...
f) prepare my own part for the madrigal rehearsal
A full but hopefully satisfying day.

Morning all, I'm up early - for me, that is. It's wet where I am (not in Brum) but I think it's due to clear up later. I'm going to have a go at installing the latest version of the Ubuntu operating system today - Intrepid Ibex. And I'll probably go out for a walk once it dries up.

Fingers crossed re: Ibex Andy. I was amazed at how easy it was to get Drake going on my antiquated and resource-sapped old desktop. Wine isn't quite playing nicely yet, but I hope before too long I won't have to worry about rebooting into Windows again. And apart from the fact that I can't get the modem working, I found that Mepis Linux is almost ridiculously easy to get going. Having burned a live CD, I was impressed to find that the "demo" mode will do almost everything the full install does. So wherever / whenever I happen to be I can use an operating system I am familiar with!

"Burned a live CD"? That doesn't sound very kind. I don't understand a word of your post, Kb Smiley

I've been quite busy today Kitty, no time for a walk - plus the weather has been carp.

I've upgraded from Gutsy Gibbon to Hardy Heron on my laptop, but I've got no further yet. Seems fine so far and I'll do the further upgrade to Intrepid Ibex when I've time.

I burned the Intrepid live CD yesterday and today I installed it on my friend's Vista laptop as a dual boot set-up. It all seems to be working fine so far - fingers crossed!

You're right about how useful the live CD is - I was able to try out potential problem areas like wireless networking using the CD before doing the actual installation.

I had to reduce the size of the Vista partition to make room for Ubuntu. Fortunately Vista provides a basic partitioner which seemed to do the job OK - GParted which I normally use states that it can't always handle a Vista partition correctly and you might end up being unable to boot into it.

I had my laptop in the kitchen and the other one in the living room, so had to keep dashing from one to the other to see if various things had finished. Might have been easier if I'd had them both in the same room Roll Eyes

Good exercise Andy. Nothing to worry about MC. After finding out just how much potential storage space on my old desktop computer was eaten by Windows Millenium Edition (which most people agree is hardly worth picking up free with a pizza) I became more determined than ever to try and find a workable alternative.
There was a time when I was frighteningly geeky, but these days I rely heavily on internet forums to help me get past problems. That said though, I think most bicycle repair-persons could install some of the newer versions of Linux, which more-or-less obviates the need for Windows of any flavour. (And takes up less space with useless bits that you don't need unless you are a complete beginner and a bit short in the wits department).
