Since no one except Daniel (and maybe the spambots that keep trying to post junk) and me reads this, I won’t write write here very often. But myspace is still broken… and it’s annoying. Maybe it will just stop working one day and no one will use it anymore and use facebook instead. But maybe that’s just wishful thinking. It may be because myspace is trying to add opensocial support, and doing that in 3 different languages simultaneously may be challenging, but that’s no reason to break the site every 2 days.

Also, my laptop is finally (almost) working perfectly in linux. The graphics worked perfectly after installing the nvidia restricted drivers (via restricted-manager) but the wireless required a windows driver to be downloaded in order to get it working. But it now works perfectly, albeit at a max speed of 24MB/s.

Swinburne’s wireless seems is stupid (a customised eduroam WPA Enterprise network). Even windows users find it drops out from time to time. In linux (now my preferred OS) it’s even worse, with random dropouts all the time and problems with re-authentication once it has dropped out. If anyone IS reading this who can throw some light on the cause of this problem, please help ><
