timmillwood··on How I Made my Blog 2.3x Faster

I was looking to move my Drupal site to Jekyll but quickly got bored. I therefore moved the site to Sinatra and now Rails, yes it's slower than jekyll and the rails site is slower than the sinatra one but more fun.

A custom solution is more fun to work with (especially with a personal project like a blog) and also give more flexibility.

timmillwood··on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal released

Unity has really grown on me, when it first came out I switched to Xfce, also train Mate, Cinnamon, Gnome3 and KDE, they all seem a little dated now compared to Unity.

timmillwood··on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal released

Right, but it's a little buggy due to being a mashup of Xubuntu 11.04 and Ubuntu 12.10.

timmillwood··on Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal released

Might have to go and work from another computer as 12.10 installs on this one. Clean install really overdue as this machine started as Xubuntu 11.04 and is now Ubuntu 12.10 Beta.
