ugh!
Once again apologies for not writing but my Mother hasn't been well
lately and I had moved back home for a while, happily she is fine
now and I have returned home to face several daunting computer
related tasks.
Firstly of course is email.

Yucky, I think most of these
will get marked as read, I don't have it in me anymore to read that
much, especially as more comes piling in everyday.
Secondly, I have to do some massive updates on several machines
that run Debian unstable. About 800MB per machine. Maybe I should
look at some local repository but it never until now, seemed worth
it for only 3 computers.
