Journal dyefade's Journal: Random/Darkness/English/Linux Phew! 2

I'm in such a good mood for some reason. Not much has changed... but I'm just happy:p.

A few random things... I bought the Darkness album last summer (before they were really famous), and didn't like it that much, so I put it on my rack and left it. Then I Believe In A Thing Called Love took off and everyone seemed to love them, except me :(. Then on the way home from school I was listening to Jo Whiley, and she played Love Is Only A Feeling, which sounded really good, so I played the album when I got home, and decided, yes, this is really good. N/M
How many varieties of english are there? Dearz and I were messing about in Computing reading random blogs, (Google for "Random Blogs") and we found, well, we found a load of rubbish, which is what we were looking for, but the text didn't seem to be in english as we know it. A lot of what we read was largely made up of english words, but with no attention paid to spelling or grammar/conventional writing styles. It was revealing to think that we've always assumed that talking to people who speak english would be simple, but if people don't follow english rules, this might not be the case. Maybe it's just that Americans are wierd (this seems to be an acceptable answer to most things).

On the whole, linux rules. Fedora is a well put together distro. There are so many high quality programs available to Linux now, the future looks really bright for the OS and for Free software in general. Even ogg is gaining support.
Soon I'm thinking of posting notes on a project I've been thinking too much about. Ideas had been forming in the back of my mind, but as soon as I made the decision to discontinue Cosmos they all came into focus and developed. I need to write something down at least.
