I’ve left my self a note to blog about mushrooms and I can’t for the
life of me remember why. I think it might be something to do with the
fact that mushrooms invoke strong reactions in people that other foods
just don’t seem able to do. People either love them or they hate them.
They are like marmite in that respect. I fall in to the latter camp. For
me it is more of the texture of them than the taste, but I really can’t
eat them.

Last weekend was the UKUUG Linux Conference and this year it was held in
Leeds, which is where I went to university. Even though I left 3 years
ago, it was very strange walking around me department again after all
these year. I know I spent 3 years there and that it should feel
familiar to me, but I was shocked at just how familiar it felt. It was
like I’d been there just a few days ago and the last 3 years hadn’t
happened. A few things had changed, but everything felt exactly the same
as it did when I left.
I am getting fed up with the number of things that ask you for an email
address and then complain when you enter an address with a + in it.
Among the culprits we have Tesco, UGC cinemas and a program called
Steam. Doesn’t anyone read RFCs these days.
