Blogspot Still Sucks

There is a cacher (actually there’s a good few million of us) who has his blog at Blogspot.

I wanted to comment on one of his posts, one about puztoks and the trashing of a D5T5 cache. The content of the comment was not important, almost a throwaway about a spelling mistake which made the UK’s most prolific Geocacher into “Dr Silly”.

Whether it’s Blogspot itself or a setting made by the Blogger, I was unable to type in my details, instead the comments system wanted me to use a Pre-defined account from Google, wordpress.com, or similar services. I have both a Google and a WordPress ID and trying either of them the accounts were refused.

Sucky Blogspot. I keep trying and living in hope that one day it will work. So far I am constantly disappointed.

Anyway, have a read of the blog at SMS Text Blog.

And, congratulations to SMSText on being the first cacher in the UK (and third in the world) to find 100 D5T5 geocaches.

Do Pink and Green Go Together?

I am not really sure, but want to find out.

I have one of these*:

Dell Inspiron Mini 10

Dell Inspiron Mini 10

That is currently running a dual boot Windows 7 Starter (yuk!) and Ubuntu 11.10.

The Ubuntu runs beautifully when it’s running from the Live CD (actually, a memory stick), but the installed version doesn’t recognise the mouse or the wireless card.

I don’t really do much with the laptop and have today discovered that there’s a new Release Candidate for Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) just been released.

Linux Mint RC

It look sweet and I have nothing to lose by trying it. I might actually get a usable laptop out of it.

*No, I didn’t pay much for it! The cost of a new screen that I fitted myself.
