New photo page

by @ 2:32 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

There is now a new photo page at amyandluuk.com/photos. It even has some new photos. A few from our trip down to Debz’ and Alex’s wedding in Invercargill - although we didn’t take many at the wedding because everybody else was snapping away. Also some from Christmas and some from our fantastic waterskiing holiday last weekend. We’ll probably post a few photos of our new house once some more of the boxes have been emptied. If you know me and want my new address/contact details send me an email.

In other news… I get married in 31 days.

5 Hours of my life that I’ll never get back.

by @ 10:48 pm. Filed under Uncategorized

I finally found a fix for the problem that appeared when I installed upgraded my laptop’s operating system to Ubuntu Edgy Eft when it was released at the end of October.

This problem added a 3 minute wait to the booting process of my laptop. Multiply that by about 100 boots (estimating conservatively) and you get 5 hours. I found the answer here.

Boot time is so much better now. For the geeky amongst you, these gantt charts may be mildly interesting… They were generated by a program called bootchart.

Now I can finally enjoy the great boot times that Edgy promised me. Other than that one problem I have nothing to complain about and would recommend Ubuntu to anybody.
