Because of the Threat of Peace comic establishing a 10-year gap betwee nthe Sacking of Coruscant and the start of the Star Wars: The OId Republic game, I have had to rewrite my Bio/Story for my characters. I left the old version up as I preferred it, but this version fits the canon.

This simple tutorial allows you to copy Windows 7 BETA onto a bootable USB stick and install it from USB. Really handy if, like me, you run a notebook with no DVD drive.
My HP 2133 Mini-note is currently in the process of happily installing Windows 7 BETA.
Just wanted to mention that I had a weird issue on my HP 2133 Mini-note with Ubuntu 8.10 locking the numeric keypad (which uses the Fn key and part of the main keyboard) in numeric mode. I found out it’s an easy fix, just press Fn + NumLock.
Apparently it happens on most laptop keyboards.
Had a weird old problem with Ubuntu this morning. I opened the ‘Add/Remove…’ application to install Wine and Flickr Uploader only to be presented with a blank page. No applications listed, not even those that were installed.
After a lot of swearing and a quick Google I found the solution:
Enter the terminal (at your own risk) and enter:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-app-install
You’ll need to enter the password for your account and have permission to run stuff as root, but it’ll sit and re-install the package. When it’s all done it’ll drop you back to the prompt. Mine worked just fine after that.
I’ve been trying to remember the German word for ‘workshy’. I found it, it’s ‘arbeitsscheu’.
Why was I looking for this? Well it relates back to Sachsenhausen concentration camp. One of it’s first major influxes was the ‘workshy’ and ‘asocial’ from Berlin. I couldn’t remember what the Nazi’s referred to the people as.
I just posted up my first piece of writing to go public. I’ve started a lot of projects over the last couple of years. Some are ongoing, some got ditched, some I just lost interest in.
This Bio/Story is part of my RP (Roleplaying) build up for the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO game bing developed by Bioware and Lucasarts. Yeh, yeh, I know, you’re all sat there sniggering because I do RP in MMOs. It’s my way of unplugging the real world for a while and relaxing, and if you get in a really good RP group it’s great fun and really rewarding (in our own sad little way!).
The story is here.

Thanks HULU for worldwide live streaming coverage of the Inauguration.
Barack Obama was in my bar the other night complaining about the price of the beer, he was stood at the bar demanding ‘THERE MUST BE CHANGE!’.
Sorry… 
America has elected Barack Obama as it’s next President. This is either gonna go real well or really badly. We can only wait and see I guess…
It was with slightly heavy heart that mum and I sat and watched the final Moto GP of the 2008 season at Valencia. The racing from the various classes of GP race was eventful, and in places exciting, but ultimately when it was all over it marked a close of a long era. Eurosport, who, for as long as I’ve been watching GP motorcycle racing, have provided excellent, extensive coverage, made their last live MotoGP broadcast.
British fans for so many years have been entertained and engaged by the excellent, sometimes hysterically amusing, sometimes deeply heartening, always honest and engaging commentary of Julian Ryder, Toby Moody and Randy Mamola, with occasional contributions from Neil Spalding and a plethora of excellent guests and members of the sport, including journalists, team members, officials and riders past and present.
I’ll miss them. Thousands of fans will all miss them. I wish them all the best wherever they go and whatever they do.
I hope the BBC’s commentary and coverage improves, because it’s all we’ve got from here onwards…
