Windows 7 and Ubuntu

Finally finished setting up my Eee to dual boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu (easypeasy). Sweet. Windows 7 is a bit slow to boot (about 60 seconds to useable) unless I hibernate it (20 seconds) and Ubuntu rocks (20 second boot). The SSD has halved the boot times, and I think more RAM will help even more.
They both run pretty well on the Atom processor and now with Windows I can tether my iPhone for mobile internet. Why oh why Apple won't you provide drivers for Linux for this.
Anyway, that's my little bit of geek (or tekbuster) for today.

Cure for H1N1 discovered

Yes, put together by a mad chemist in a kicthen in BC, the cure for H1N1 has been discovered. No need for needles, tamiflu or any of that. Here's what you do.

1. Call in to work and tell them you're sick and will be off for 2 weeks.
2. Boil a kettle and fill a glass an inch or two with hot water. Swirl it around to warm the glass and dump it.
3. Put a cold spoon in the glass and pour in an inch or two of Irish whiskey.
4. Add 2 tsp of sugar, a slice of lemon and 6 whole cloves.
5. Pour on more hot water.
6. Drink.
7. Repeat steps 2 - 6 as required.

There you go, why worry about H1N1? It's 2 weeks off work in the warm glow of alcohol. Might want to get a few DVDs to go with it.

Samsung don't like the environment?

Seems they don't care to recycle. I bought a CLP-310 printer for putting out some flyers but when I go to try and refill the toner I find I can't. Why? A design feature that saves space and energy makes this not possible? A better quality of print?
Nope, Samsung put a chip in the toner cartridges that keeps track of how much was printed from it and stops you using it even if there is ink left or you refill it. The chip is not writable so no one can refill these.
Time to do more environmental damage and dump this printer at the local recycling centre and buy something else. Something that a) I can refill and b) doesn't get a paper jam if you have more than 20 sheets in it.
Poor show Samsung.

Just for (Politically Correct) Laughs in Surrey

Tommy Tiernan was to play a Just for Laughs tour around Canada, with it hitting Surrey (where I now live) on Novemeber 12th. Well out to support a fellow Irishman or just cause he's a funny fucker, off I went and bought 4 tickets.
Now he's not playing and the just for laughs site is not saying much;
Just For Laughs.

Tommy's website isn't saying anything other than he'll be in Nenagh;
Tommy Tiernan.

So I had to do a bit of searching and found it was due to racist comments;
The Province.

Come back Tommy, Canada needs less PCS (Politically Correct Shite).

Anyone want to buy four tickets to a nice clean family and PCS friendly show?

Call from an agent

I haven't done any extra work in ages since I was so busy, but I decided I would keep one day a week free from now on to be available for it. Mainly since it's interesting and I get paid to hang round, chat, eat food and drink coffee. Already in my first week back I got a call. I'm off to protest, against I think some aliens. More about it later.
And they said I only had a face for radio and a voice for mime.
