This is a test post only. I wonder what it will look like when I eventually add this to my blog.

I can’t play the guitar, but I am impressed by people who can. Recently I was made aware of some videos on Google that I thought were quite cool. The first one is not technically a guitar, but the idea is the same.

The second video is a classical piece played very well by some kid in his bedroom. This has lead me to wonder how many people may find their fame by appearing in a home movie on the Internet.

Having installed Ubuntu on my desktop machine, I decided that it should go on my Laptop as well. The installation of Debian unstable was still working fine, but a change can be good for even it it is only for changes sake. The main reason for trying this is to enjoy the slightly higher polished finish that Ubuntu seems to have. Also, my wife uses Linux on the laptop, and she does get annoyed when things brake.

I am hoping that with Ubuntu, I can resist changing things too much, and then just suffer a bump with each new Ubuntu release.

Having now done a second Ubuntu install with this latest release, I have to say that it really is slick. Having the live install makes it simple to check partitions etc before starting. The end result is a very usable system.

I probably should have used an already existing Blog system that includes a comment facility. However, I decided to roll my own, with inferior features, lax security, poor scaleability etc. All I need to do now is to write something that is worth someone making a comment about 🙂
