I had a piece of toast for breakfast this morning. a first. I'm getting better at this morning eating routine. Oh and yesterday I even cooked myself breakfast - got the pan out, threw some olive oil out on the sucka and wiggled a egg on it and whipped it on piece of toast - pretty good and so not like me.

Yeah. look at me. I'm not sure I'm going to make it a habit but it was alright. Maybe I was just hungry.

So I've geeking out most of this weekend. Feet up on sofa and getting sone mileage on my laptop keyboard. Some of the geeklights follow.


I took the plunge and installed Gnome 3.0 which involved upgrading my Ubuntu which was already the unstable release. That said, you don't need to be on the unstable/Sid release to get it down - just apt-get install gnome-terminal. Warning however - it will break the unity desktop so if you're ok with not going back to it - then it's all good. I'm good with that because the unity Desktop just wasn't doing it for me.

Spent a whole bunch of time figuring out how to mount a folder which is on my remote VPS onto my macbook, which involved some fancy footwork with sshfs and macfuse. Essentially this allows me to runs a desktop photo manager and aim it at the mounted folder and let's me caption, arrange already uploaded photos in my picture gallery, updating it immediately. That was what I was doing - labelling, captioning and arranging my online gallery. Took me into the early hours of Sunday.

Went for two 2.5 km runs this weekend which is a good feeling. Saturday and Sunday. I feel fitter but would still like to get fitter.

Went to visit Ikea yesterday and Woah! after about 30 minutes I wanted outter there! I'm stuck with what I want in terms of furniture in my apartment.

You see, I don't want to buy huge amounts of stuff, especially heavy stuff that I'll just eventually have to move later when I move out but it irritates me that I might want something but because of this, I can't have it or I don't want it. I'll get over it.

Well, it's mo-day today and I've got a pretty serious amount of work to get through this week so I guess there will be a lot of headphone use and water "drinkage". That will be to cool my brain. my brain overheats. it's not very efficient.

Oh and I'll have to field issues with our latest development team software move. Thats why my brain overloads I suppose.

Stupidly, I've worn a jacket today which I don't usually do and now I'm sitting here in the tube sweating my arse off. Doh!
