Well, it’s been a while. I’ve been really busy with FlightSimX lately, and it’s been nice to see it grow from strength to strength. We’re getting about 800 visitors a day now and around 400-500 news reader hits, which I’m pretty pleased with.

I’m also a recent adopter of MyBlogLog, a great way of finding like-minded folk and a good way to promote your web sites and blogs.

Following a major hardware fault on my Windows XP laptop a couple of weeks back, I thought I’d give Ubuntu a try. I’m extremely impressed so far. I’ve retained dual-boot capability, due to my needing WinXP for Flight Simulator X, but I’m now using Ubuntu for everything else. For those other Windows apps that I need to use, I’m running XP inside a VirtualBox virtual machine inside Ubuntu. I’m very impressed with the performance. More on this later.
