Geek Stuff

This is kinda like a second blog, not because I need some more work to occupy my time, but because I wanted to write about some of the techie stuff I've been up to. I wanted to separate it from my ordinary blog seeing as though I'm importing that one into Facebook (Can't imagine too many people will be interested in the finer points of installing Ubuntu on there for some reason). And so the GeekBlog is born. Here, I'll be writing about linux and other nerdy topics, basically because they will be things that I have found out how to do and which I'm bound to forget how they were done in a few days time. This is mainly for my own reference, but also because I've found other people's blog's invaluable and hope that I can be of similar use to other people who are walking the same path. DISCLAIMER: At present I'm a geek-grasshopper in the world of linux. I've only been using it occasionally at work for a couple of years and in that time have switched over from windows to windows/linux dual boot at home, then using linux and only using windows for games and now only buying games that work on linux (I'll mention some of these in later posts).
