The results of the great October pleb fishing expedition - Cheese and Beans

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:18:38 -0800

Over the course of the last month, I have been investing a little more effort than normal into both writing hopefully interesting posts for my personal blog at Cheese and Beans, and marketing it - with the idea that I could look back after a month or so, and reflect.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November - Cheese and Beans

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:31:21 -0800

For generations (the last 400 years in fact), English families have taught the rhyme to their children "Remember, Remember, the 5th of November".

Retro labels, decluttering, and giving stuff away - Cheese and Beans

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:27:43 -0800

Geeking out with Ubuntu Netbook Remix - Cheese and Beans

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, Ubuntu Netbook Remix is a distribution of Linux purposely designed for small form factor computers. I was very, very impressed.

Attaching Labels - Cheese and Beans

Why are there so many labels? Has political correctness gone so mad that we cannot use plain english any more? While there are of course some people who do suffer from real conditions, and their life is made difficult because of it, invariably these people are the most humble, the strongest, and the last to complain.
