Hahaha I has Acer One working with Ubuntu

with 3 comments

I forgot to say that I am a owner of a Acer one since late September. It is a Christmas present for me but in the spirit of how Christmas comes early in shops, I was allowed to have it early. I had many woes with Tescos as the first one we got didn’t boot up, so it had to been brought back and replaced. I was also disappointed as it doesn’t have a sleeve in the box like in photos that it been reviewed in.

I didn’t like the Linux that came with in. I was way too simple and I felt like they didn’t trust me and that it was like something that RM had fiddled with as it was so restricted with right click menu being turn off and stuff. I knew I can turn that on but still, it didn’t feel right.

So long story short, I managed to get Ubuntu on a USB stick. I did managed to get it working with the stable version but I had problems with sound and the wifi. however I discovered that the beta version fixes all the problems and I only had to unclick something and reboot to get the wifi working. Good times.

Secret identity

with 2 comments

I’m rather confused by my lesbian sister of mine as I recently discovered her blog by typing her username in to Google like you do. Whilst I won’t mention her real name, she calls herself Jay on this blog [not related to the one in the blogroll] and I really can’t understand why as she links to her Facebook which contains her proper name. I would never link to any of my profiles myself as I don’t want to encourage random strangers visitors.

I managed to get myself wet today as I was searching for a trolley at Tescos and it took awhile for some more to arrive. For a change I went to their Cafe which isn’t amazing place but I was upset as their coffee machine wasn’t working.

Since the 2007 flooding that happened I was worried since when it rained but today the heavy rain didn’t really fraze me much. I don’t like the rain but it not that bad I suppose.. at least I don’t live a country where there is volcanoes or earthquakes which damage places. I don’t think this country is that crap as it made out to be as there is much worse places to be at.

The college has treated me yet again even though I haven’t even had a full week yet. Media department has decided that their media students are going to go to the cinema. Maybe we will go behind the scenes? I’m quite excited about Thursday.

I thought I couldn’t post today as it took lots of trys to get Firefox working. I refuse to use Internet Explorer.

Crave for Ready Salted crisps

with 2 comments

I really really want some at the moment.. I will do nearly anything to get some. I have forgotten plenty of stuff that I should of brought at Tescos. I wanted some chocolate, more crisps, and various other stuff that things such as my heart will really love me for. I eat all this stuff and I don’t get fat though.

Does anybody listen back to their voice and cringe? I know that I do. It something I will have to get over with as I’m doing Media for hopefully three years if it goes all well. I really hope I get a C in English this time round. I hope the saying ‘third time lucky’ is true. My parents will pay to get all the tuition I need to get this C!

A gig at the Zodiac.

with 4 comments

Kiddies.. This post could be offensive. Contains Swearing.

I am really tried after going to the gig. I was really surprised on how good the music was and that the place wasn’t empty but I now stink of smoking now though because most of the people were.

I got dropped off on Cowley Rd with my sister after my Dad went completely the wrong way. We popped over to very busy KFC for dinner then after eating it down sitting on the street, we went to the Zodiac. We went to the bar and got some drinks and stood around for awhile waiting for the gig to start. After awhile standing up we sat down by the way when a group of people began to chat with us. We found out that they were friends with TaTT and that they lived around here. We chatted with them throughout the gig but they wisely left earlier than us.

Tristan and The Troubadours decided to play some new songs for us, some so new that it was being sang for a notepad. I really like this sound that they have got, and I thought it was wried yet cool that the band includes two drummers, and violin. Though I do have to say it did have some songs where it was crap beginning to them, they were really good. I felt that Tristan and The Troubadours and Vamos where very good and one of the bands you should look out for.

However, when Dead Class began, it wasn’t to my taste. I didn’t hear it as music but as a loud racket that seemed to be the same with every song. Half of the crowd seem to think the same way as me, as when they got after a few songs, nearly all the crowd had left. I decided to do the same thing and scrolled around Tescos than had a Sub while waiting to be picked up.

Morning post: Not long until Easter Holidays

with 2 comments

It not long until I have a holiday full of eating too many chocolates, chucking up the chocolate, then eating more chocolate.

Tescos are ripping people off with their Easter eggs and if the prices that high elsewhere, I may not bother with Easter eggs this year.  £8.00 for a egg doesn’t really attract me and I would rather have the money, and put in it in the savings for gigs.

Anyway I am getting late for school, so I better get some toast in.
