Badger Badger Badger Badger

I'm not several years late on a meme, I just saw a badger. Not just now, a couple of nights ago. But I'd never seen a living one in the wild. I think I've seen few sleeping and inside out on the side of the road, but a whole real life badger, sniffing around my garden at 1AM, it was frightening and awesome. Mainly because they're the size of a Great Dane with stubby legs and 140% as amazing.

I am in central London, and I just popped into the Apple Store. And as I do every time I venture into an Apple Store, I blog. Mainly because Apples make me so angry. But Linux makes me angry too at the moment. It couldn't full screen video without skipping every so often. And when I'm watching streaming Flash video, it misses out a second of audio, and then plays the missing sound over the next second of audio. Which is very distracting when you're trying to watch something. I'm going to have to try Ubuntu with the new KDE, because the computer I'm using isn't lacking in power, I think it just needs a more capable OS.

This is all in the interim before my Windows PC works again, and I can't wait for that.

It's Christmas Eve, and I have started my shopping about an hour ago. I know I leave it late, but that's how I do things. So I shouldn't write for long. I hope Julia's kidneys feel better soon, I'll be giving them a special Christmastime visit soon.

I'm going to take this opportunity to wish everyone who reads this a very Merry Christmas and I hope that you are treated well and eat even better.
