| 2nd July 2010: Electronic Cigarettes Are The Way Ahead I Tells Ya. And I Was Right About Flash, Linux and Twitter... Tonight has been...well...interesting. It's just The Bombshell and I, which means not a lot of talking, a few jokes here and there, but mostly him being an overbearing boss and me trying to rise above it. Thank God I am on holiday tomorrow. I don't actually leave until Sunday afternoon, which gives me plenty of time to get things ready. Most of the important stuff is already done - passport, taxi, tickets, hotel bookings (thanks darling) and clothes. I just need to get my washbag ready, and maybe pack a couple of books in my bag with my laptop. Because this time I've decided that unlike in Germany, where I took fairly bulky equipment, since I am going long distance, I am going to travel lighter. So, just a couple of USB keys, a portable CD rewriter, and an MP3 player with my laptop and it's two 8 hour batteries. Oh, and obviously my wifi adaptor. This said, I do need to make a couple of software modifications to my laptop. I want it running the latest version of my trimmed down Linux distro. I currently have it down to 94mb for an entire OS. Including browser, Flash, a wide range of wifi adaptor drivers, a nice UI, and a network manager. So I want to try and install that on my laptop before I go to the US. I just think it would be pretty useful! A small, light, powerful OS which doesn't use much power. I also ran into a guy who used to work for The Chicken Company, who wants his old job back (unlikely, he called The Boss the C word, the W word, the B word and the told him to F his job up his ass. And then walked out. That to me is resigning in style. Ok, so he's not going to get a good reference, but when it comes to resigning, it's not the worst way to do it. Anyway, I digress. He said to me that he had just bought an electronic cigarette too. He isn't so sure about his, but he has a refillable unit which he is using to supplement his cigarettes. I told him to persevere, and to try and buy new juices for his unit. He was quite jealous of my model which comes with a new atomiser every refill, a wide range of ever expanding flavours, and decent customer service. Oh, and two batteries.
