So, today is a good day. I had a good night at work, and I am currently sitting in Pret-A-Manger in Southampton after having just bought a new 80gb external USB hard disk for the eee. Goodbye corrupted USB drive issues! Plus the additional factor is that I can do a complete MacPup install to the device. That means rather than just using 1.25gb of a 2 or 4gb USB stick, I can use the full 80gb of the mobile hard disk. That should give me something to do whilst I am off enpire building on Animal Crossing. Ok, so, technically empire building isn't quite possible in Animal Crossing, but I can build a vast orchard of non native fruits! And I know just the place!
On a slightly down note, I recieved my first ever bad service in Pret-A-Manger. Shame, because where the service standards are normally so high, I feel obliged to complain. This guy called Sammy was chatting to his friend, and had to be told by the cashier to get me a coffee. He turned and said "No, you get it" and then told her to get me a white coffee. I told him that I actually wanted a black coffee, and he shrugged and said "Same price innit?" Now, normally this wouldn't bother me because I feel for retail bods. However, thing is, Pret-A-Manger normally have exceptionally great service. It would be like going to Harrods and being served by a chav. It just wound me up a little that the guy couldn't be bothered to give decent service.
So, now I have my cheapy cheap USB hard disk, I am going to go home, get a taxi from the station to my place as I found £70 in my jacket, which I have no idea how it got there! Mystery money is good. I was tempted to put it towards a PS3, however, I have a seperate fund for that! I cannot wait to try Fedora 10 or 11 on a PS3. For those not in the know, Fedora is a cutting edge Linux distro sponsored by Red Hat, and created by a community of voulenteers. Reminds me, must get working on my own distro. I want to make it small, light, fast and to have .deb compatibility. It's going to be a Linux for Windows users. You see, I feel that if it has speed, smallness but a good feature set and .deb compatibility (Ubuntu uses .deb files for installing) then I might be able to convince Windows users that Linux IS a real alternative.
