Managing Information

The management of information is something that will be forever cropping up in my life. And as my hobbies seem to imitate my career, it seems i cannot escape it.

Whether its understanding what a specific cable languishing in a road box might be required for, or learning how to sail a ship in 18 hours (including sleep) or navigation and camp craft. Or just those niggly little lessons you learn, like the best way to try and make some programming software do what you want.

Hence why this week I have been playing with ubuntu, first in a VM providing me LAMP and then on a PC.

And now I have a knowledge tree to play with.

Now for the sanity check that more technology is really a good thing….

Where’s Dave

Hmmm, I keep hearing these adverts for Switch (Radio1 re branding for a younger audience) and wonder where Dave will take his anthems. Uncovering the new schedule reveals that he is now going to be for one hour after midnight on a Friday night / Saturday morning. Honestly. First Vibe, and now Dance Anthems. What can i listen to on a drive home on a Sunday now?

Puffed!

It seems that only using a couple of inhalers a year (i don’t really use that much) makes you less of interest to the nurse. I’d have thought it would be a surprise if i managed to use two in a year, as then i ought to be on the Preventers too….

Still, I get what I want. We can wonder if i still am asthmatic or not (the inhaler does remove the symptoms however) some other day. Its certainly not so good in the hay fever season.
