Happy April Fool's

Apr1

Pictures

Just seen a brilliant feature on BBC Breakfast on a newly discovered type of penguin, that can fly. Can't find it on their website, but they had video on the TV and they've apparenly roped in David Attenborough, I hope they put the footage online later.

I hope that was this year's best april fool, and not yesterday's pay rise.

I've still not written up the weekend have I? The usual round of pubs and restaurants really, I might break it up into bits and scatter it about. Going out this week too, on a school night, this never happens. Got a "work outing" to on Thursday.

UPDATE: It's on youtube, but fronted by my friend Terry Jones.



According to the popbitch board someone at the beeb emailed this to everyone at the beeb:

This email is going to everyone
Dear All,
Thought you might be interested in this. Do forward to your friends.
All the best,
Txx Dxxxx & Axxxxx Hxxxxxxxx"

Kind of un-virals what I think was originally a good video. I guess someone in charge of it was worried about the amount of money spent on it per eyeball it actually got on the morning or april fools day or something.

They just aired that at 7.30pm on BBC1 before I had to turn over because EastEnders was next. Well done I thought. Also "my friend Terry Jones"?

See.

Just emailed you, glad you are around:

I have some kind of mounted network drive available on my ubuntu machine that 'is' my windows box. I can open a window to it, see the files in it etc, but I don't know how to find it from the command line... any idea where it will be? it's not in /mnt and it's not in /media or anything. I guess I used samba to connect to my windows "network" (not that I actually have a network), location of the mounted windows drive shows up in the ubuntu location bar as
smb://newdell and then directories inside that are smb://newdell/My%20Music etc, but I can't seem to use that on the command line to rsync from there to here... want to use the ubuntu box for backups.
