Despite what several people have said about upgrading from Fedora Core 1 to Core 2, I decided to have a go on my linux box at home (the one this site runs on will have to wait until I have figured out how to upgrade from RedHat 7.3 to FC2).

Harry’s Challenge
Went to Harry Ramsden’s, the fish and chip restaurant, yesterday evening since we’d never been there before and didn’t feel like cooking. It’s quite expensive, on a par with Little Chef, around 8 or 9 quid per adult but the food is really good.
Harry’s Challenge is a 12oz piece of cod or haddock, a huge pile of chips and 2 portions of either garden peas, mushy peas or baked beans.
If you can eat it all, you get a free dessert and a certificate to say that you managed it. Never one to pass up a challenge, I’m sure you can guess what I had.
What does $â mean ?
Since Fedora Core 1 was installed on my linux box at home, I’ve noticed that connecting to it via ssh from Windows or OS X always resulted in strange characters appearing in man pages and certain terminal based applications.
I’ve finally figured out how to stop it…
