So its been a long time.....

Well since I last put anything here, what i knew as Mandriva has become Mageia and Mandriva has become, well I'm not really sure as I haven't used it in about a year.


I am mainly focusing on the artwork side of things, although i do the odd bit of KDE stuff too.


Just in case any of you people wonder what happened to it, the wind buggy was almost totaled by yours truly, I ripped the whole of the front steering assembly apart and shattered the UJ that took the load from the front wheel. This caused a lovely crash, but on the plus side, it meant the the whole of the steering system was fixed up, so that is much simpler, smoother and self centers really well. Sadly i haven't had the chance to really drive it yet, but once i do, i am sure that it will be fast.

The aim of this thingy thing.

Hopefully I will expand this to cover the new climbing routes I put up, the various bits of my boat that I break and the amusing things that seem to happen when I sail, the strange and sometimes wonderful bits of scrap that I join together to hopefully make something useful. I also hope that I can find the time to restart writing about some of the packages backported in Mandriva as they are quite often very useful.
As well as trying to keep track of the major and some of the minor changes in cooker and its current installable state.

The most recent addition to the host of things that we take on holiday, the Wind Buggy (above) or Wind Power Death Mk. 2 (The first one did almost kill me) as it has become known, is currently being rebuilt and redesigned, so I will keep track of this and post the speeds that I have hit in it, current 47mph in the above picture.
