I've had an account at Yahoo for many years. I've made use of the email and have a home page set up that shows me various news and cartoons every day. A while ago I heard that they were setting up a social networking site called Yahoo 360, but at that point it was by invitation only. Today I had another look and found that I was logged in and could play with it. You can see my current page here. Not much there yet. I'm not sure what it really offers me that Multiply does not apart from better support for feeds from other sources, e.g. my blog that you are reading. I shall have to play some more, but I'm not sure I can face moving my contacts after all the effort it took to get them on Multiply.

Other news:

We watched The Royal Tenenbaums on TV. A quirky film about a disfunctional family. We enjoyed it.

I'm still playing with Ubuntu. I tried running some of the kids' games using Wine with limited success. I can install, but not run. I did have the wonder of Internet Explorer running on Linux.

I also tried NX as a remote control session from the Windows PC. It allowed me to run a separate session on the Linux box. It's very responsive on my network. I could even play a video without dropping too many frames, but without sound at the moment. It's an option to allow multiuser usage of the Linux box. I need to rearrange my PCs so that the kids have something faster, but it may have to stay with Windows for now.

I had a game on the Disney Lilo & Stitch game that Tilly has been playing and got quite a long way. It's an old-fashioned sideways scrolling shoot-em-up like I used to play years ago. I still have some of my old gaming reflexes, despite not haveing played many games in recent years. I was going to add the link, but can't find it just now.
