Even though the girl and I have been out and very about I have neglected to post any themepark reviews, trip reports or tech tips. Sorry :-P
As a side note, Ubuntu seriously rocks. I knew that they had the philosophy that it should "just work"... well a lot of things say that and it is not always true. Ubuntu really does! Even on the odd hardware that I have been using it works flawlessly. On one of my systems I have a very odd USB based WiFi receiver that is barely supported by windows (no 95, 98, 2000 or vista support only XP?!?) this system I could never run Linux on because of the lack of network connectivity, Ubuntu saw the hardware and asked if I would like to connect to the network through it!
The other thing I wanted to do is mention how this article http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/odd
