Life? Don’t talk to me about life...

As if things weren’t annoying enough, last night, just before shutting down, the main hard drive crashed. Bugger. No data lost (only / is affected), but it is annoying, especially as I am in the middle of so much. I took one of the secondary drives and installed a new Fedora version on it (Mepis was on it, but while it is OK and pretty much works perfectly, there seems to be a glitch I can’t get to the bottom of so that Firefox’s font sizes can’t be adjusted in Preferences (and CTRL-+ really buggers up some pages). In general, its handling of fonts isn’t so easy on the eye as other recent distros. This Fedora distro has its quirks, but the display side of things is superb, so it can be used productively without my eyes getting worn out. More than they already are, anyway.

While the software installation was going ahead, I got watching the Argentina-Serbia & Montenegro match, and got completely drawn in. If every team played like Argentina did today, football would be a joy to watch. They didn’t just completely gub S&M, they wiped them out 6-0 (it could have been 7-0), and they did it while playing with an easy style that was a delight to watch. It reminded me of some of Brasil’s performances (some of Brasil’s best performances). I would not be at all surprised if Argentina go on to win the World Cup. And the thought that England could beat them, if they are on today’s form in future matches, seems more than a little risible.

This, I suspect, will be the only time anyone hears me rave about a football match. ;o)
