Haircut 100 - "Favourite Shirts"
Perhaps a slightly less greater hit than "Love Plus One"' but still worth listening to is "Favourite Shirts".

Haircut 100 - "Love Plus One"
This band only produced two albums. Its lead singer Nick Heyward had a breakdown after the first album and left the group. Their second album was not as successful. This single from their first album is still considered by many as one of the greatest pop songs ever made - so much so that a reunion was arranged for them in 2004. This song was the first song that they played in the reunion.

What's Buzzing? - Open Source Operating System Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit
After having a chat about operating systems with a fellow gamer, I got interested in trying out the latest Linux OS from Ubuntu. I have tried the older version some time ago but it seems the latest one has improved a lot.
At first I tried to install with an old DVDRW but could not work so had to switch to a fairly new DVDR and it went quite smoothly. So I guess if you wish to install it, make sure you got some reliable DVD media. I usually verify data after burning..
First thing I noticed was the lack of sound after installation. After a few Google searches I found out I had to install the Ubuntu Restricted Extras. Not sure why it was never included in the original installation disc. Installation of Restricted Extras appeared to be stuck at applying changes but in reality there was a Microsoft Agreement to install some fonts behind the installation screen!
