			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a strange name for an event. Anyway, yes, this is my second attempt at the interesting experiment, of posting once a day, every day during this month.<sup class='footnote'><a href='#fn-354-1' id='fnref-354-1'>1</a></sup>  I expect quite a few of these posts will be small, random and useless. Sorry about that, just to warn you!</p>
<p>Anyway, onto more interesting things. Book review <img src='http://kirrus.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span class="postbody">Completed the &#8220;The Business&#8221; By Iain Banks the other week. Good book, though not one of his best&#8230; Gripping read from about ~60-70% of the way through. Predictable up to that point.<br />
All about a large, democratic company, and the machinations and politics within it, as it looks to buy a small country, to attain a seat on the UN council. </p>
<p>Interesting and enjoyable enough read, but not spectacular by any stretch. I&#8217;ll not keep it for my book collection <img src='http://kirrus.co.uk/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />

<p>Some other thoughts I had whilst talking to someone at church today&#8230; Working with the people I do, it&#8217;s easy to forget the fear and lack of knowledge a lot people have with computers. For me, they&#8217;re simple, far easier to understand than a human by any stretch of the imagination!</p>
<p>If you are ever afraid of a computer, the best thing you can do is to make a backup of all your files onto a USB stick, and then just play with your computer. Don&#8217;t be afraid of breaking anything, let your fear go. Just explore all the menus, options and settings, see what happens when you change things around. Right click on everything! </p>
