A Chilled Weekend

I've had a quite chilled weekend after a hard week of exams and have been staying at my friend's, Jamie Rumbelow, house, for most of it. When I returned home I was shoved straight out again by my mum, who wanted to go out for dinner. I also met her new boyfriend, who is very nice. He is the cousin of my mums best mate.

When I returned home, I decided to finish my transition from Windows 7 to Windows XP. Now some may say this is a downgrade, but i have my reasons. Firstly, Windows 7 is a Release Candidate and still has a few errors with compatibility, and is generally slow. Secondly, I might have to erase it anyway cause the chances of me having the money to upgrade to the full thing is unlikely at best.

I just finished erasing my Windows 7 partition, and now am creating a Media partition to hold all the stuff I want to keep as I mess around with various Linux distros I want to try out. Although I will probably just use VirtualBox.

I am also going to do add a tutorial on using VirtualBox and testing out stuff with it to my list of stuff to do over the summer.
