New Objectives

have some leave coming up next month, so I intend to update some of my last-century IT skills. This may, or may not, happen. It could just be a diversionary tactic, looking at the list of household jobs I already have lined up for that week.
I am looking at some online courses/tutorials that might help. I hope to press my Raspberry Pi B into use and I might finally sort out my old PC. It's currently sitting idle, but is ripe for updating. I need to reformat the drives, so I can do away with the Windows installation and put a fresh Linux distro on. At the moment I think it's on Mint 15, though it could be 11 - it's a while since I have used it. This should be ok, as I have set up dual-boot machines many times in the past, so going from dual boot to a single OS ought to be within my capabilities.

Aims

  • Reformat/update old PC
  • Learn some basic web skills

Nothing too adventurous.
