My housemate popped his head round the door earlier and said “you know you’re the first result on google when you search for your name?” … and it’s true!

Completely pointless, but still made me smile at the time.

The result from a web search is my blog feed on the OpenMRS site found here, and the UK page is an old profile page my Taekwon-Do instructor created a few years ago when I got my 3rd Dan. Extremely flattering stuff incidentally.

On a comparably pointless note, I’ve spent a few hours today customizing my new Ubuntu Hardy Heron boot on this machine. And credit where credit’s due, it runs like a dream. Takes a short while you familiarize yourself with where things are and how bits of it work but on the whole it’s cake. The nicest part? Everything worked straight away - wireless drivers distributed with the CD… why oh why do you not think to do the same Microsoft. I’ve spent literally hours upon hours over the past years searching for wireless drivers that 90% of the time don’t work or are on a site you have to pay to get access to (curtosy of the manufacturers not keeping their damn sites up to date!) - but no Ubuntu… had them already. 2 full updates later (kernel updates included) and everything runs perfectly.

Heaven

What a week it’s been.

To start it off, I received confirmation from Google that I’d been accepted by the OpenMRS Organisation to participate in Google Summer of Code.

So, after graduating (hopefully) in July, I don’t have to run about trying to find a job - as I already have one!

The details of the project I’ll be working on can be found here and here.

And to top the week off, have finally completed my dissertation and got it handed in. Only thing left to do with it now is the demonstration to my tutor and another memeber of staff next week.

Couple more exams and it’s all over…!
