Not much to do or say do to illness. Serious coughing, sneezing, sore throat, couldn't speak properly for days and once the throat was healed, my nose started to drop snot in industrial quantities. Enough for the next Alien vs. Predator and Alien 5 movies! Um, grossness aside, I installed the latest version of Knoppix (3.4) on the laptop and it's working fine so far. Got an interview coming up and two leads for jobs, so fingers crossed.
