First Snow of Winter and really exciting computer things.
Ok, not so exciting computer things.
I saw my first snow of the winter this morning. It was just a light dusting, but it was quite nice to see. I like wintery weather.
This week I went down to London for Annie and Tom’s house party. It was great to see people… a few I hadn’t seen for a couple of years and it was really nice to catch up. I also have to thank Eleanor for having a me, Steve and Maffa over to stay with hardly any notice (thanks to my poor planning!).
In other news, I’ve been working on a crappy little tool for managing multiple Debian/Ubuntu machines at work and home. It basically allows remote updating and upgrading of any apt-get’able box using only SSH, sudo and apt-get. There is more information available. The script basically has 95% of the functionality I need at the moment, so I’m not likely to do any more heavy development of it, but it does work.
Who?
Ok – this one is a bit of a challenge for you all.
I was given this by someone about ten years ago and I kept it ever since. It’s one of those things that just makes me smile when I see it.
The challenge is – who gave it to me? Was it you? (I guess people who have known me less than ten years can count themselves out!)
