My ThinkPad X220 was last clean-installed with #Ubuntu 14.04 in 2015 and has since been upgraded through many releases. Just upgraded it to 20.04, and Unity is still wonderful. 😍 Just needs s Yaru theme to finish it off 😂

This was a successful "stress test". More of this soon!

Time to let off some steam with OpenSpades!
I'm going to chase down @Wimpy with a spade (and a gun).
Gonna play on my "Good vs Evil" (I will of course, be Evil) server. Join us and have some fun with spades. (snap install openspades ;) )

I think it's probably about time to let my collection of old arcade boards go. I will take each one out and give it some testing love, then throw them all up on eBay. I haven't played with most of them for 15+ years. Time to Marie Kondo the loft!

This Ben Heck repair videos is super. Not too technical, good fun and a great learning exercise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yv3D9HamvVA

Bank Holiday Easter Monday lockdown boredom led to:
✔️ Setting up a game server
✔️ Creating a discord to chat
✔️ Registering a domain
✔️ Configuring Apache
✔️ Using Hugo to make a static site!
Fun times. 🍾

Anyone fancy some openspades? You get to hit me with a spade, or shoot me in the head? Playing now on "24H Server (UK)" https://snapcraft.io/openspades

I made a little video showing how to upgrade from #ubuntu 18.04 to Ubuntu Focal (which will become 20.04). Might be useful for adventurous people willing to test pre-release.

"Easily Update Published Snaps" - in which I demonstrate how easy it is to update an already-published snap, when a new version of software comes out. Enjoy.

Ok, it's getting late, everyone else is in bed. Time for a bit of late night #ubuntu testing after dark. Join me in a bit, for a relaxed live stream.
