Just keep rebooting

threemonkeysFor the third weekend in a row I have been knocked over by a bug of some sort. They always seem to start on friday night. I would have thought (I certainly hoped) that stopping work would have stopped the illness cycle. A cycle which has, albeit somewhat less regularly, been going on for some considerable time now.
Nevertheless, I have been feeling pretty good today. Better than the usual slow recovery. But I thought it wouldn't be a good move to rush out into the garden to try to catch up on all the stuff I planned to do last week.
So what to do instead? Play around with the computer instead. This post is now coming from Firefox running under Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. It is just a trial installation in a dual boot arrangement. All pretty painless really until it got to the point of configuring the wireless network connectivity. That took more than twice the time that all the rest of the install took combined. Reminds me of the early days of wireless.
Why install Ubuntu? Why Not?
