tim_retout's Journal: Kernel 2.6.6 - why aren't I revising?

A new kernel. :-) This was the first time I'd tried patching the old kernel rather than downloading the entire thing. It worked like a charm.The only thing of interest so far has been a faster boot time... is this subjective, or is there something cunning going on? Also of note is that The Debian Way worked this time as well. I've no idea why it didn't for the past couple of times. I'm out of my depth.

I'm not working. I just can't motivate myself - I'm stuck in a rut, doing fun Linux stuff and reading Slashdot all day. I have three bits of work due tomorrow, and I'm here writing in a journal. Sigh.

Now that I've got the latest kernel, I can concentrate on turning the 'News' bit of my website into a proper blog (probably without scripting or anything to start with) and generally avoiding work. I also want to put some philosophy on there - I feel the need to explain how I think to others. That could take some time.

I can kiss my maths degree goodbye, can't I?
