h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I got in at a reasonable time last night, around ten past eight, but the evening got away from me and I never got round to booting up the computer.

I spent an hour on the 'phone when I got home, then turned the TV on. By the time the TV was done I was too tired to post anything.

The early part of the day was also pretty tedious. I waited till ten past twelve for my transport to arrive, then went downstairs to wait outside. It didn't actually arrive till five to one. The extra 45 minutes delay was down to a football match in town that meant that Saturday traffic was nearly at a standstill. It took twice as long as usual to get from my front door to the hospital too.

At the hospital, I watched "The Americans" and "NCIS". When I got home I watched half of "QI", "The Stewart Lee Comedy Vehicle" and "Page Eight".

I have now got Mint 16 "Petra" running on both Lenovo and Gigabyte Netbooks, but still have to get the networking and printing going. Using Windows wifi drivers on the Gigabyte machine with ndiswrapper. Not having the networking and printing working properly is a pita. I have to email what I write on the Gigabyte machine to myself to pick up on the Ultrabook, which can print. I prefer typing on a Netbook, to an Ultrabook. It's not so athletic for the fingers. I have been using the Gigabyte machine on battery - the first time I have ever used a laptop/netbook on battery. In the past I have invariably had them plugged in. Not impressed by the battery time but it is only a very small battery.
