Obscure excuses, little progress

When the excuse is "I was brewing some beer", what criticism doesn't lose its bite? Well that's exactly what I was doing last night, when I had cancelled all arranged social engagements to bloody well get Linux on the hard drive. 

I wasn't expecting the various vats, airlocks, tubes and raw materials until at least Monday, seeing as how I ordered them on Thursday, but there they were when I arrived home on Friday, waiting to be put into service and far more alluring than the by now rather trying switch to Linux. For what it's worth, my first brew is to be a weißbier, brewed in what is apparently a Belgian style.  Also, brewing counts as studying Chemistry, so it's kind of like a double excuse, in a way. Isn't it? Oh hell, of course it isn't!

Anyway, the rest of the day is to be taken up by actual Chemistry study and watching grown men mud-wrestle (otherwise know as Six-nations Rugby), so it'll be tomorrow when I (hopefully) get around to formatting and installing Ubuntu. As always, my updates will be prompt, my progress less so. 

Until Wednesday.
