It's about bloody time I did another blog post.

I wanted to catch you all up with what's been happening in my life. In short:

• New job
• New house
• Birthday
• Car breakdowns
• No Internet (for a few days)
• No network
• New Playstation 3
• New mobile phone

So, as you can see I've been keeping busy. It has eaten in to virtually everything except tweeting which you can keep track of on the right of my blog. It's a bit weird not being in touch with the Linux community as much as I am used to. My job saps up most of my time, and I am wary of using IRC in work. Yesterday I installed the brilliant OpenSSH for Windows, essentially SSH in DOS, you can use it like normal SSH:

C:\Windows> ssh me@example.com

or even:

C:\Windows> scp notepad.exe me@example.com:~


and once you are in, you are using Linux. I am very excited about it, I can use Linux even in a heavily MS environment like my job. Screen/WeeChat works alright on it, as long as you are only typing. Moving the scrollbars or window size messes things up, might be an OpenSSH issue though.

You can view some example images of it working here:

Another thing that has helped is my new Samsung i7500 Galaxy, an Android based mobile phone, which was finally released to the shops a couple of weeks back. TwiDroid has been brilliant for me, allowing me to keep on Twitter.

I realised I don't really dent enough, TwiDroid has multiple accounts but only in the Pro version. I'm going to have to consider whether paying for it is worth it. I'm not sure if it's quite what I need either because I like to keep my tweets and dents separate. I can't tell if TwiDroid allows you to do that unless I buy it.

Well thats enough of me for now. Plenty of stuff to talk about, but plenty of stuff to do too. Hopefully, now I'm settled I'll be able to keep you more informed.
