Today marks the beginning of two things I’ve eagerly anticipated for some time now.
Firstly, the Ashes are finally here. Bring on the flipper I say! It may also provide some inspiration for my, as yet unknown, as yet unpublished co-author here at Goonanism.
Secondly, this post is coming to you from a 100% Microsoft-free environment. I hope I’m not speaking to soon but I have Ubuntu (Linux) rocking it out on my computer and it is so far so good. I think I’ve even over come my media-related issues.

you think watching the ashes is fun. try not even caring about cricket, but living in a country full of impotent little boys who just want to see their team win a match or two (which they won’t!). then suddenly take an interest, just as the ashes start, if only to win a few beers.
p.s. ubuntu rocks, tho i think i accidently lost some work in the transfer. oops.

Ubuntu is the single greatest thing there is… other than cricket. We have a couple of Germans saying with us at the moment, one of them - having had the game fully explained to him - has really taken to it. However I suspect his major motivation is his hatred of the English. Needless to say we all get along well.
