OK, the vodka worked. Still frustrated by attempts to revise - seem to have the concentration span of a concussed goldfish at present. Suppose I need to make a decision soon. In between revision-related panics, managed to sort out the havoc that had been wreaked on the gnome-panel by KFM (which I had no idea had been installed by RedHat 7.0). Forcibly removed the offending kdebase RPM. Happy Birthday Steve! Looks like there may soon be a new addition to the staff at GNEHQ....
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
