Me? Professionally, I'm an e-Learning specialist. I started out in the mid 1980s but, due to becoming too senior and too experienced in recent years, is apparently, a dinosaur. I have turned to my other job as a freelance writer and photographer. It doesn't pay well - or even at all much of the time - but it is fun and stops my brain from turning to oatmeal.

When I'm not on the computer, you'll find me reading and listening to music, watching movies or crime drama or, motorsport. Or, combinations of all of the above... If I have to explain you'd never understand...

comment Dual Monitor in 12.04 - Sort of works
Catalyst Control Centre really is a piece of bugged to hell crap. Last time I tired it, it just didn't even notice that a second monitor was plugged in. I have to say that I am deeply disappointed in Ubuntu and ATI regarding this matter. Jesus, it's not as though ATI is a small player. How bloody difficult can it be for these people to release software and hardware that actually works. And. I don't accept that 'we can't try it on every platform' garbage. I don't think that a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo 3530 is anything special. AMD, ATI, Ubuntu, come on. Really, it should just work.

comment Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has suffered an internal program error
I would agree with everything you said here, except that none of this happened until I upgraded to 12.04. 11.10 had no problem mounting my NTFS drives and my system did not randomly crash. These problems are new. The laptop is the same this week as it was last week and it was serviced about a month ago. The memory test found no issues, that was one of the first things I ran...
