i worked through 3 and 4, then decided i better get myself a bunto install so i can follow along properly, not that i wasnt impressed with the  VMachine that was running on Amazons servers (very smappy).

getting my computer backed up and freed up took all afternoon, then for a second the bunto install borked the win7 intsall , but it fixed itself lol.

im not that impressed so far, even tho ive been away from linux (mint) for 3 plus years, the firt 4 chapters is very basic. hopeflly it wont stay that way, im sure it will get hard fast for me at-least. with you using it daily now it may be a while before it touches on new ground for you.

that brings me onto a question ive had for a while; what is with the tatal 360 from you. you would even entertain the word linux when we first started speaking, iirc i was running mint at the time.  was it win8 that made you commite MS suicide lol.

i started a C++ programming course at EdeX last week, its much better than this linux one, however that one releases the lectures and tasks weekly.

FB was the first thing that came to mind.

this is a nice bit of software Lee, i just noticed the ‘Activity ‘ page, i suppose it is meant to act a  richer ‘recent’ section, seems good.

i turned my email notifications off, but as id been getting emails from this thread before i turned them off, it kept me subscribed to this thread. so i just unsub’d . i hate things cluttering my inbox.

have you had a look at the linux course yet? im just about to look at it now.    🙂

i dont know how hard it is to get into an ipad2 , but a quick ebay give wifi modules for £3 ish, if be tempted to see it i can open it, then order the part.

 

well id visit ifixit first to see if its possible for layman’s to do. an ipad 2 wont be worth much now, its a dinosaur.

thats a good price, as i think they are £20/220 from curys or amazon. so a nice saving.

i went for the HP11 CB it is cheaper than the others because it built on an arm platform, but does have a much better build quality and screen but lack some of the features the intel variants have. (however ive just noticed that the amazon prime site thinks im on a tablet so no instant video for my CB!! i was wanting to ‘cast’ West wing to my TV!)

i must add i don’t know that site so cant comment on it either way.

Nothing has loaded for me since Monday I think,  I’ve been busy so only tried once or twice each day. Only thing that works is the Im part. I spoke to Dave a few days ago and he said chrome was a no no for him to atm.

II could try FF or ie, but I cba and don’t want to if I’m honest.

You want to start a thread on the Linux course that open tomorrow. I started a programing one on the 29th, I completed week one in about 4 hours, it wasn’t until the last lecture it got hard.

Going to try and fit both coursed in

Now to turn off the email notification from this site!

Whats going on with the Forum, is it down for all browsers? I only use chrome and won’t be installing anything else just to view mm.

 

I hardly have a choice on chrome os, with I use 90%of the time now. And I limit my browsing on my win machine to work related matters. Keeps me more productive.

 

Sgb by the way.
