Yesterday was Wishbone Ash's 35th Anniversary Ashcon event. Held at Mansfield Leisure Centre I attended both the day event and the evening live concert. Local band Seretone joined Wishbone Ash and provided a set in the afternoon. The evening concert was awesome and I managed to film most of the concert. When I get around to editing the footage I may post a couple of minutes in the videos section of this site for you to watch.

Back down to London again today, this time for the MAC Expo. Although I enjoyed the day I was a little disappointed by what was on show.

Having only spent the morning at the Expo we decided to check out London's Apple Store. I was very impressed and spent most of the afternoon there. I purchased a case for my ipod nano and an iSight.

Not much to say this week apart from I was back in London doing the next part of my training towards becoming a Novell Certified Linux professional. Believe it or not I've actually spent more days in London during 2005 than I have in my local town of Mansfield!

The main event this week was spending 2 days (Wed/Thu) looking around the stands and attending the varying speeches at this years UK Linux Expo. The venue was Londons Olympia. What really shocked me was just how down and anti-Microsoft the majority of Linux users are. I totally agree with them on the most part but you have to think what they could achieve if they redirected all this negative energy they have towards everything Microsoft and used it to towards making Linux and Open Source more accessible to the masses. I personally think they need to get over it and really push this great product in the market place to everyone and start to listen to what ordinary users want and need.
