RE: wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Hi PaulI came across this site as I was searching how to make my new WG111v3 usb adaptor work under mandriva 2008 (I'll try it on my ubuntu machine later) - that has ndiswrapper installed and, like yours, didn't work. Your posting gave me the clue as...

Time Travel

The Ringlestone is brilliant.

My new favourite pub. My husband and I have been all over the UK staying at inns and seeking out old worldy country pubs, this one was the best hands down. (I'm American and he's from London so it's been kind of game to find the best.) The pub itself...

It's a long way to Gutsy Gibbon

This version is Dapper Drake. I got a CD of a more recent version off someone at work hoping I could start again from there and then upgrade to the latest, but if I try that my wireless connection is lost immediately, and without that I can do nothin...

RE: Bon chance!

I run a home-business (computing) and I've been running it for the past 10 years in 3 different countries. I'm simply going to go on with it, nothing brand new. But my husband is an antiques seller. He may open a shop or continue to sell his product...

RE: Yes, moved here (to Folkestone) full time back in April

Hello, my husband and I are moving down to Folkestone and looking for a house- wondered what your thoughts are on Coolinge Road? We quite liked Folkestone West station areas too but a bit concerned you're a bit left out of things there. The West End ...

RE: Kalala

A group of us from the Dymchurch Players went to Kalala Restaurant last week, 17 of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the food it was excellent.My only complaint, personally, was that I couldn't have eaten more than I did, it was so nice - but - well, my hus...

Looking For Grandmother

Last known name Josie Robinson but believed to have re-married. Owned a public house in Folkestone with husband.

Any help would be appreciated. I am 25 and living in London. Lost contact with Grandmother and would like to meet her.

wg111 (wifi) + ubuntu (linux) still not playing nicely

Everything was good until I upgraded to the newer "Feisty Fawn" version of ubuntu, now we're back to the drawing board. I have no wifi and sometimes I have no keyboard or mouse either. If any of the following instructions (which I'm copying and pasti...

Wahey wa-ireless!

First post from the new computer, well the old, very old computer, but using the new operating system and wireless. It's not perfect, the connection does keep dropping, but that could be any number of things. It's been quite a long struggle as the ca...

Clifton Hotel

Rumour has it that my great-great-grandmother purchased the Clifton Hotel for my grandmother (Mavis Gordon, nee Lyne-Smith) and her husband, Kenneth Gordon, to run. Can anybody substantiate this?

RE: To do list

Good luck with the interview.

I showed my husband your CV but I don't think he has had a look at it yet. I am not sure it would be well paid enough anyway. He doesn't get paid nearly enough for all the time he puts in.

RE: Systems development type stuff

I know what you mean. I would find it very hard to give up my job in London so I hope the business will take off soon.I will forward your cv to my husband. He is an account manager at a design/advertising agency in Canterbury and he may be looking fo...

Nice long weekend in Sandgate, Folkestone, Hythe and Portchester

FINE weekend, thank you far asking, good long weekend too, but a bit tiring. Thursday was birthday day (my birthday and also the wife's birthday), and while we were working in the day we'd booked the Friday off so we could have a night out with no fe...

DigiTV ROCKS

Yep - that's the card I was recommending as well ! You can record a 'multiplex' at a time (a multiplex is a bunch of channels that get broadcast on the same frequency) so you can't record all TV output ;) But if it's on the same multiplex you can rec...

What to buy..?

I have a five pound Amazon voucher that expires this weekend, should I buy a new wireless network card, or a book? Ideally want to not spend any extra money, but I do need another network card, AND we've got a big stack of Reginald Hill books that we...

Baby baby, where did our weekend go?

Aciton packed weekend, yet again quite literally TWO daytime trips out of the house that were not just to the shop or the pub, what is going on? We had such a full weekend that I had just about no time for larking about on the computer or even sittin...

Hauppage

Noooooooooooooooo don't get a hauppage - you'll only complain endlessly about it... Get yourself one of these:www.nebula-electronics.comI have the external USB one but the internal ones are superb too. And they support HDTV (when it airs on freeview...

RE: Got me a new computer

Hauppage do a nice (tiny) TV to USB mpeg converter thingy, IIRC it might be compatible with dig TV.

It's good to be back, it's good to be back

Thankyou for the concerned phonecalls and emails and texts, I am all OK, just had a few days away from work and the computer with a bad back, too much housework I reckon. Gave me a nice relaxing time in front of the TV though.Before all that, let me ...

I like Shed Boat Shed

This was my favourite of the Turner Prize Entries, it really stood out, a deserved winner I reckon. I clearly didn't like it enough to blog about it, but I swear I picked it out at the beginning. Also Antony and the Johnsons, I tipped them to win the...

Bad experience aswell

We stopped off at The Ship Inn, Dymchurch on our way home from a lovely dayout and we had our two children aged 3 and 5 with us, we were told that the good would be about 30 minute wait, so we ordered our food and went into the garden for the childre...

Local history

Using my weekend here in Folkestone on my own for a bit of a wander around. I've joined the library, and checked out a bit of the history of my flat. I saw the building showed up on the 1906 Ordnance Survey map that I bought a while ago, and now I've...
