Remove and reinstall xserver on Ubuntu 9.10
Jan 16th
Well the time came when my good friend Richard asked for some help with his new monitor/graphics card setup.
Ubuntu had thrown him into low graphics mode. No good for his new 22″ LCD and also no good without 3D acceleration.
This fix takes about 20 seconds but will basically remove X11 from your Ubuntu install, purge the files and reinstall it so you can setup X11 exactly as it does in the installation of Ubuntu.

New Nikkor 50mm F1.8 Lens
Sep 27th
I have just been out taking some photos with my new lens. And what can I say.
In my opinion it is sharper than the 50 1.4 that is 5 times the price. And yes, it does feel slightly more plastic that the 1.4 but it is only £110 inc vat in the UK and that my friends is a good enough reason to buy it…
I now have a lens that if my mood fancies can take fantastic portrait shoots as well as amazing detail. All for under £150!
All in all I am very impressed, it’s light, has full time manual focus over-ride and the focus ring is tight and precise. This lens works brilliantly on my Nikon D80…
