Think I am emberking on a bit of another linux diet. Have been o-d-ing on it a bit. Like two mags a week. So I am xp writing this.

However yesterday was abit of a breakthrough for linux - I trusted it to a practical task. Sorting out some train tickets. doesn't sound like much but if my focus is on doing something rather than general exploration I want to reboot into xp because of familiarity mainly and the presence of various core working documents. So I gave a moments thought when the task arose and decided I could follow it all through on Linux. A step in the right direction more than a breakthrough however I am also really enjoying being in xp at the moment with my nil problemo headphones playing bbc radio 4 at a single click. Have been playing with xps command line so all is not lost.
