Well, it's about time, frankly. Via the BBC :

Computer maker Dell has chosen Ubuntu as the operating system for its range of Linux computers for consumers.

This makes me happy for a lot of reasons. For one, it's Ubuntu, which I use all the time and on whatever systems I can and second - and probably more importantly - it means that someone is offering Ubuntu as a no-effort-to-install system to consumers, which rocks my socks off.

He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
