Linux Distribution chooser
I'm often asked what Linux distribution is the best. If I'm honest this is actually a difficult question to answer. For personal use I use OpenSuSE , at work I use Novell SuSE Linux Enterprise Server and Red Hat Advanced Server. It all depends on what experience you have and what you need to get out of your operating system. I recently came across this interactive web site which by asking you a number of questions aims to choose the right distribution for you. The Linux Distribution Chooser can be found at www.zegeniestudios.net/ldc/. I can't guarantee it will pick the right distribution for you but it's a great starting point if you have no idea. FYI, my main operating system of choice is Mac OS X.
Books for free
I recently decided to have a bit of a clear out as over the years I've managed to stock pile a number of computer related books. Many of these are now surplus to requirements but it seems a shame just to send them to landfill. Therefore I've offered to give them to anyone who wants them. Therefore if you are interested in any of the following books simply get in touch with me using the contact form. We can then discuss how to get the books to you, I'm prepared to post if necessary as long as you are happy to pay and postage and packaging costs.
California: Road Trip
During December last year, it seems so long ago now, we spent 15 days on a road trip visiting the states of California, Nevada & Phoenix in the U.S.A. In all we travelled over 2000 miles from a few feet below sea level to elevations around 8000-9000 feet. Our trip started by driving from our home down to London where we boarded our flight to Los Angeles. We picked up our vehicle at LAX and drove a short distance to our first hotel in Newport beach. It doesn't look much like what you watch on the TV show 'The O.C.'

Lots have happened since my last post way back in November. Obviously there was Christmas, just before which we travelled around California and finally I started my new job and my 140 miles a day work journey. The job is going well and I think I'm just about settling into it.
Oh and one more thing I finally got round to installing Final Cut Pro again on my iMac so I don't have any excuses now to not edit some of the many hours of footage I have and get it posted.
