I mentioned to someone over the weekend that I tend to read a lot of 'chick lit' but for some reason I couldn't come up with any names or titles. Amazon let you view all the items you've ever ordered, which goes back to January 2000 for me, and it looks like I've ordered the following books for myself:
Behaving Badly by Isabel Wolff
Come Again by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees
Come Together by Josie Lloyd and Emlyn Rees
Cool for Cats by Jessica Adams
Dinner for Two by Mike Gayle
Love Is a Four Letter Word by Claire Calman
Man and Boy by Tony Parsons
Mr Commitment by Mike Gayle
My Legendary Girlfriend by Mike Gayle
Out of the Blue by Isabel Wolff
Rescuing Rose by Isabel Wolff
Seven-week Itch by Victoria Corby
The Making of Minty Malone by Isabel Wolff
The Trials of Tiffany Trott by Isabel Wolff
Turning Thirty by Mike Gayle
And several Dilbert and computer related books.
I also managed to sort out the size of the fonts in KDE when using the NVIDIA driver, apparently the driver incorrectly works out the DPI at high resolutions like 1920x1200, so by passing an argument (-dpi 75) all is well. With a bit of tinkering (checking for a processor flag and creating a couple symlinks) I can use the same hard disk in the old and the new laptop. VMWare isn't too happy about the change of floppy and optical drive, but it should be quite easy to fix or perhaps even ignore.
