Fantasy jobs I never had #1: Assistant on '60s glamour shoot.

“OK boy we’re ready, go and oil up miss Fox”.

The owl does look worried.

Linux is fine for people like you and me who are comfortable installing our own operating system, and trouble-shooting any problems. Most ‘normal’ people though will continue to walk into a store, buy a laptop, and use whatever came installed.

Of course, the year of Linux on the desktop actually happened some time ago without anyone noticing. It’s called ChromeOS, and that’s a whole different can of worms.

Oh no, please tell me this isn’t true. Surely the well balanced and entirely rational Mr. Musk wouldn’t let this happen?

That’s hardly a Linux-specific problem. There are plenty of Windows problems I’ve encountered where running some random dude’s registry update script is the recommended answer. If you are running anything with Admin / Root rights in any OS you had better understand what you’re doing.

Win 7 is peak Windows for me, but yeah, XP is fine. So is 2K or even Vista for that matter. With every release since 7 MS seem to have been actively looking for ways to make the UI experience worse.

Well, it’s actually not that difficult if you really want to, but there’s really no good reason to do so right now. It’s basically just the same OS with an even more annoying UI.

Yeah, just because something utilises technology doesn’t mean it belongs in a technology community.

Also, social media spreading misinformation hardly even counts as news these days.

My profuse apologies, Mrs Tea I will endeavour to be gender neutral in any further insults.

Hah, look at Mr. Moneybags bragging about his wealth!

Arran always looks lovely, when the weather permits. It’s been 10 years since I first moved here and I’m still sometimes stunned by how beautiful the Ayrshire coast can be (when it’s not raining sideways).

That’s the weird thing. Why would an ice cream company suddenly decide to make crisps? Their ice cream is actually quite decent. The crisps, not so much.

Yes, I must admit it has turned a bit humid today. Still beats sideways rain though.

As someone who now lives on the west coast of Scotland I’m actually enjoying the novelty of a bit of hot dry weather.

I used to dread weather like this when I lived in London though.
