Me, Dad and a friend have been putting in the new windows in the shell today, we got soaked from the rain, but we’ve got two of the four done already, minus some cementing. The chap from #9 gave us some free bricks, so Dad made a nice sill for the largest window and we’ve been using them to pad out the smallest window. The wiring on Dad’s trailer has been ripped off again – seems to be a monthly occurance!

Dad and I picked up my four new windows today, they’ll start going in on Tuesday, we’ve also got to treat some woodworm in a beam in my utility room (and the shell of course). I’ve got a telephone interview on Monday. I’ve had a few time-wasters contacting me about permanent jobs (like Yahoo!) and stupid start-up companies with no money, also people seem to be taking their time getting from CV to interview, a lot of HR people on holiday it seems….

I have finally decided to get a cat. Mum & Pippa came over earlier with a female cat they got from the woman down the road from Pip’s.

My server has been migrated from Virtuozzo to Xen now, a few things to fix – like upgrading Gallery, but it seems to be working OK now.

I installed CentOS 4.4 under VMWare tonight (this morning?!) It seems that a lot of new packages have been backported from Fedora 5/6, like updated Mozilla apps, Frysk, Wireshark etc; there’s even a project to repackage Fedora Extras here, as well as all the non-RHEL repositories here. I tried installing Fedora 6test3, but it doesn’t seem to work for me, I might download a prebuilt VM I found here. Update: I downloaded the FC6t3 image, not sure VMWare Tools likes Xorg 7.
