Chrome OS Social Update Dilemma (or Sorry Gwibber – All is Forgiven)
I miss Gwibber, there, I said it. After being annoyed, frustrated and generally dismissive of it I have realised it is one piece of software I really miss, having been ‘Gwibber-less’ from December 2010 until February 2011.

Karmic Compaq: Installing Ubuntu 9.10 on a Presario PC
Image via Wikipedia The Compaq Presario SR5109UK is my first desktop PC, since the late 90s all I have owned are laptops and now netbooks.

Announcing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS: The Lucid Lynx
Here we go again! The next release of Ubuntu is on the way and it is a Long Term Support version too, 10.04: The Lucid Lynx! I would not expect to see huge difference between that and Karmic Koala due out on October 29th as stability is key in these LTS releases. So maybe a…
