This week hasn’t been a good week at all. My relationship with Janine came to an end this week and it’s left me feeling pretty empty. I really liked her and hoped she would be “the one” but sadly not. I’m a person who always likes to have an idea where I’m going in life but Janine never seemed to want to look that far ahead and over time things just seemed less and less likely to work out between us. Everything came to an end quiet suddenly when I spoke my mind on a few of my worries. It feels a bit strange that just two weeks ago we were happily celebrating valentines day and today we can’t even talk to each other. I’m going to miss her and the kids and all of her family and friends whom I’ve come to know quiet well to say we’ve only been together a few months. I’ve spent the weekend cleaning and tidying and working on the computer while I try and work out what to do with the great gaping hole in my life. I think I’m going to sit back down at the computer for a few weeks and work on a few projects I’ve been thinking about. I’ve spent this afternoon creating a fancy USB tool kit that boots all my favourite partitioning and drive imaging tools. So far I’ve got Super Grub, Clonezilla, Parted Magic, BackTrack 3 and Darik’s boot and nuke all booting off a single 4GB USB stick with a customised syslinux boot loader. I’ve never played with syslinux before so it was nice to get to grips with something new. I just want to get Ubuntu on there next then I’m done.
