Yesterday I installed the Ubuntu Linux distribution on my Kohjinsha. Spent an hour trying to get it to boot correctly from an USB stick, then gave up and bought an external DVD, which worked right away.

Back in Sweden again, after a horrible day of traveling (I won’t fly intercontinental in economy class again), and a good night’s sleep in a room beyond 5 degrees Celsius.

I’ve published another four photo sets from Japan to my Flickr account:
Had to upgrade to pro for this to work. Lots of photos… Anyway, follow my Japan 2008 collection for the latest from my trip to Japan!
