My beardyness gets annoying after about 5 days. It looks silly when it grows really long. I just can't be bothered to shave it off every day. Too much effort.

I'm downloading the Ubuntu release candidate tonight. Apparently there have been improvements to the boot process, the software management and the graphics performance for intel chipsets. Hopefully nothing will break.

Anybody want some brass lessons?

Aren't cobwebs annoying? I've got nothing against spiders but I really hate cobwebs. Accidentally walking into them is horrible.

The last but one version of skype was incompatible with my... Skypephone. It's working again now. Am I rambling?

I rode up to Holt Heath today. There and back took me an hour including a rest before turning around. I've not idea of how fast I was going, but the average speed was 11mph including the rest. Riding to France is looking like more of a possibility.

I suppose I should start riding with some extra weight next to get used to carrying gear.
