Hi:

This is the website for Owen Carter, a British guy who has been living in Amsterdam for the last 11 years.

I'm afraid there is nothing earth-shattering here, no solutions for World Peace, no cures for peoples ills.. Just a few of my photos and ramblings.

Operating System..

Remember, we call it an “operating system”, not an “operated system”, for a reason: it’s the OS’s duty to run your machine, not your machine’s duty to run the OS – but just try making that point..

The Register touches on something that I discovered this weekend while investigating whether my Laptop is worth upgrading to Vista.

Beware falling Moose heads.

Slightly surreal story here, Dangerous places laboratories! Shocking for the girl involved, but it does make me think of Fawlty Towers! :-)

Consumer Electronics!

I must confess, I am quite impressed by this! If only it had native SMB or FTP support. Sigh.. but a FreeBSD port is available.

Another Go?

Well, my last attempt at keeping Goldfish went tragically awry, but I think I can see where I went wrong. Cleaning out the tank after Charles died I had way too much gravel in there, and there was a lot of, frankly, crap in it. So I’ve removed 3/4 of the gravel, I´ll fit a nicer filter, and try again! I also plan to add some sort of algae eating fish to the mix.

Useful info

The Register really is a useful source of info, I especially like the way they tackle the really big stuff, such as why you have to shut your eyes to sneeze..

Happy Christmas

and a merry new year to Everybody
