Adventures with Manjaro Linux – Installation and Setup
I have roamed from the safe lands of Ubuntu and Debian based Linux and arrived at the shores of Manjaro, an Arch Linux based distribution.

Xubuntu and XFCE Running on Chromebook
For years, I have been meaning to try out and Linux distro on a Chromebook. Now I have finally made that happen. I have installed XFCE, and subsequently the Xubuntu desktop, onto a Lenovo C330 Chromebook. The best part, it was surprising straight forward. Ideally I would have just gone ahead and installed a ready-to-go…

Distro Hopped Again – Hello Xubuntu and XFCE
Like all things, my hardware keeps getting older, but nothing’s stopped working yet so until things go bang let’s make the most of what we have.

Rev’it Poseidon Jacket and Trousers Impressions
UPDATE: You can find photos of the suit HEREThe Emperor’s New Clothes Having bought a new suit in 2015 for my daily motorcycling needs, the idea was to replace my then 4 year old Hein Gericke suit. The Hein Gericke suit was working just fine keeping me dry and warm in a functional sense, but…

Scrambler Urban Enduro
I have seen them all, but I must confess the Scrambler Urban Enduro is my pick of the bunch. Just like the rest of the Scrambler family you are getting the same 803cc L-Twin making 75hp, Brembo ABS brakes, headlight that includes a LED ring, even a USB port under the seat. The Urban Enduro…
