Breaking news: Hell has frozen over

Satan has today announced that Hell has frozen over. His announcement came after Mel C's shock announcement that she was rejoining the Spice Girls in a reunion, and after Mr Christopher Lees of Perth registered an account with Denden Forums.

If there's one thing that was less likely than me temporarily putting my differences aside with Denden Forums, it was that there would be a full Spice Girls reunion. All the same, it's a little disappointing - neither album nor single was promised, and they have surprisingly missed out several Spice hotspots. Canada, France, and Brazil are absent from the list of tour dates when they REALLY shouldn't have been; and Beijing, Hong Kong and South Africa have been included when I don't think the Girls actually have any fans there.

For the Ubuntu users among you, something interesting happened today. I went to a guy's place to fix up his TV, and noticed all these computers and computer parts lying around. I ask about it, and he's big on building computers from parts. While he was talking to me, I noticed a CD-R with "Ubuntu" written on it behind him. So I ask the question ("Have you used Ubuntu?") and he says that his friend has installed it, and that he is going to install it, having been impressed with the Youtube videos of Beryl (or should I say, Compiz Fusion?).

I've promised to help him if he runs into any trouble (gave him a couple of tips already), and he's promised to give me a spare Nvidia graphics card for free!

His decision to try Ubuntu came after using Windows Vista. No surprises there, really; he hates being locked into Microsoft and its stolen technology, and at one point showed me an Amiga lying under a coffee table, that apparantly still works and could still be useful. Remnants of a time before the Microsoft lock-in.
