Gentoo GUI Installer

Finally Gentoo has released its GUI installer.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m going on about, Gentoo is possible the best version on Linux because of it machine specific compilation and portage, however the installation was extremely difficult for new users.

I remember the first time I tried to install Gentoo (also my fist Linux distro), and it ended up going terribly badly!

So the GUI install has finally given new Linux users to access to the power of Gentoo! Check out these screenshots.

Know Your Beers? Prove It! – Orange Grove

Beer Quiz

A few of us were down the Orange Grove in Fallowfield tonight for the pub quiz, and part of it was naming all the beers on a sheet, which I have now made available for you all! So click the picture for a large version and get naming those beers/spirits/etc..

I think we got most of them. I’m not sure of the answers so it will be good to see what you all think they are!

A Piece of Cake!

Yesterday it was my aunt’s birthday, so my parents and sister came up to Manchester to visit them and do general family stuff. The ironic thing is that my parents brought me a nice big homemade chocolate cake and not my aunt! Result! So I’m here munching away on a large piece right now!

On the general escapades in town, we wandered into Selfridges food court which is amazing, and if anyone is interested in Sushi, Chinese, fancy deli stuff, chocolate….actually just if you are interested in nice food, its well worth a visit.

Today Katharine and I met up with my sister and my two cousins for some lunch at the Trafford Centre. Its such an amazingly big shopping centre, and it defiantly looks like some sort of church to shopping from the inside! I was unimpressed by one of the restaurants in the food court though, as we waited well over an hour-and-a-half for our food, and was defiantly not worth the price tag!

On a more internet note (and a less food orientated), my webcam is back up and running, and currently it updates itself every 15 min so look out for random people walking down the road! I will try and find a more interesting position for it tomorrow!
