UBUNTU
I use Linux on my main computer. Linux is an operating system like Windows, but it doesn't have all those broken parts like Windows does. It's a lot more like Mac OS X, but you have a lot more control over the way everything works. Anyone can install Linux on their computer. All you need is a free* CD. Ubuntu is the easiest 'version' of Linux for a beginner to install. You can download it for free.


*of course nothing is actually free. You have to buy a blank CD and burn the Ubunutu installer onto it.

OK,
So it turns out I've been a "blogger" for nearly 5 years now. Who knew. Quite a prolific one at that I might add.

For those of you who don't know what I look like, see the picture on the left.

The picture on the right is a 'tesseract' which is the 4-dimentional analogue of a cube. There will be a test on that so make sure you understand it.

Our family went to parent-teacher-student conferences this morning at Laela's school. Her teacher said: "Laela is really good at everything she does." So now Laela is going to have an even more over-inflated ego! Her teacher did say that Laela needs a bit of practice writing in complete sentences, which is fine given that some kids in her class are still working on writing individual letters. Ivy spent the whole time passing gas, so that Laela's classroom would smell really nice when all the other kids arrived.
