Recently I started testing on-line operating systems to see what merits using cloud computing can have on my productivity.
One of these systems is Eye-OS, which comes in two flavours, 1.9 Stable (Classic), which this article is based on, and 2.x Beta, which appears to be geared towards social networking.

My PC recently developed the characteristics of the company car of a fat bloated executive, who didn't get the promotion they thought they deserved and didn't get the larger, more powerful company car required to drive the Windows executive's once sprightly athletic body, sadly now saddled with the weight of so many files, and jaded by one too many update, struggling with a five year old machine.
As the current financial situation bested my wallet the idea of a new one has had to give way to the reality that the car's insurance is due shortly, and faced with a pc whose operational parameters I have been trying to exceed, which is slowing down to a crawl under Windows XP, I spent the past week on servicing my pc and installing Ubuntu 9.10, running as a virtual PC under Sun Virtualbox, and the transformation has been extraordinary.

Who needs Lame Stream Media fed humour when you can find such cutting edged wit as this...

I don’t disagree
An elected 2nd Chamber (with the caveat that if you have served in one house, you cannot serve in another), a written constitution endorsed by a referendum (available in Urdu, for course), the abolition of the whip and fixed term Parliaments would do me just fine.
Oh, and the removal of Sovereign Law on Royal Palaces. A Policeman told me to take my hat off in Parliament as normal doesn’t apply there and only the queen can wear a hat. No. Really. I then pointed out to him that if normal laws don’t apply in royal palaces, he is just a prat in a costume. Just like me
He was not amused.

So long as you don’t actually belt him one, he doesn’t really have a reasonable excuse to use it.

And you thought The Falklands War it was all about securing Britain's Sovereignty in the South Atlantic, about rescuing British subjects?

I came across this article Netvibes vs Google Reader
![]()
via the Netvibes Facebook Group and was struck by the way we humans like to identify and give loyalty towards names, words or brands.
Here's my implementation of Google's excellent tools, services and utilities.

My iGoogle Page....
My Google alerts....and.....
and overview of my entire Google Profile page in Netvibes, with Google Reader being displayed..
Hardly comprehensive I know, but it is all there, on tap, running under Netvibes..
