24th July, 2019.
Yes: I know.
I’m heading to Chelmsford.
Which is nice.
Or possibly not nice, given the heat.
The reason?
Given my long term medical position?
I’m putting in for extra, health related, benefits.
The assessment’s in Chelmsford.
Hopefully?
My phone’s Maps function will be able to get me there in time … and won’t leave me running around all over Duke Street.

Oh, just as an extra thought?
I’ve always like the idea of alternative operating systems.
In point of fact?
The first Mac I bought — many moons ago — was a second hand one, running an early version of Ubuntu, called
Warty Warthog.
The second hand dealer I bought it from, didn’t have a resellers license for the relevant version of Mac OS X: so that’s I got, instead.
Ubuntu’s open source license is a lot more forgiving of these things.
As a result? I’ve always like seeing alternative OSes: and felt governments — local and national — could be making more use of software … that’s got very low licensing costs.
To get to the point?
I sneaked into Brentwood Library, yesterday: after installing the current version of Ubuntu onto a live disc.
And seeing how it looks.
Rather good.
To the point I’m tempted to sneak back in and install it on one of their machines …
