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.

"Controlling Snap Updates" is today's video. This one has a bunch of command line nerdy that lets you manage the snaps installed on your system! Enjoy 😊

I decided to wipe my main laptop (ThinkPad T450) and start fresh with a clean install of Ubuntu Focal Fossa (20.04 LTS). Join me as detail why, and wipe out my 2 year old install.

Briefly reminiscing at ~1AM about a Pr1meOS computer I used in 1988. Searched online. Found me, on IRC in 2006 reminiscing at 1AM about it while supporting Ubuntu users. Some things don't change :). https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2006/02/19/%23ubuntu.html#t01:10

Loving this re-purposing of an old ThinkPad into an all-in-one PC.

Is there a proper name for these quadruplet conjoined grapes I got in my bunch? 🍇 Inquiring minds want to know. 🤔

There's 2 months until #Ubuntu 20.04 LTS is released. Let's take a relaxed look at the desktop right now, and see what's new. Join me on YouTube, and bring questions. ☕

I am impressed at this speedrunner who completed Minecraft in under 30 mins. I barely have a little house and a couple of pet pigs in that time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkIdK0D5WvA

The four words that put dread in my heart whenever I see them....

"Please rebase off master"

I end up just deleting my PR and re-creating it because for the life of me I can't drive git. It makes no sense.

Cooking tip of the day! Need to get crystallised honey out of a container? Everyone knows you put it in hot water. However, put it in a mason jar of hot water, and the lid holds it down, so all the honey melts! 🐝🍯
