Guide - How To Set Up a Windows 7 and Ubuntu Dual-Boot System
This guide will show you how to set up your system with a Windows 7 and Ubuntu Linux dual-boot configuration. Ideal for laptops with small hard drives.
This is not the only way of setting this up, nor is it the necessarily the best way - but it does work for me!
Pros: allows you try out 2 recent systems side-by-way. Very good development - you can set up a LAMP development area, with safe virus-free internet browsing. Photoshop work can be done in your Windows 7 area then shared with Ubuntu (no need to resort to Wine or VMware).
Step 1 - back up all your data to an external source (this method formats your hard drive - wiping everything for clean installs).
Step 2 - Insert your Windows 7 installation/boot disk and restart (should detect automatically and prompt you boot from CD).
Step 3 - Folllow onscreen prompts to delete/format partitions and install Windows 7 in the unallocated space
Step 4 - Once Windows 7 is loaded, launch Disk Management partition application from start menu. Right-click C: drive and choose shrink (shrink by the maximum value it will allow)
Step 5 - Right-click unallocated space - then format NTFS & name it storage/data or something (untick quick method is best). This will be for saving your files; these will be shared by both operating systems
Step 6 - Change default shave location (so that it saves by default to the data/storage drive you just created). To do this first your Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos etc. folders over to the new drive. Then click the libraries (i.e. Documents etc folders) in the left-hand navigation bar one by one. As you click each one it will display "Includes: 2 locations" near the top of the screen - click on this link and remove the two current locations and add the new location (on the new drive). Repeat this for each folder on the C: drive where your documents get saved.
Step 7 - Insert Ubuntu live CD and run it.
Step 8 - Click desktop option to install Ubuntu
Step 9 - Choose option to install side-by-side with Windows 7 (this installs it on the same partition
Step 10 - Now when you Boot your laptop up - you will have options to load Ubuntu or Windows 7

RSS and PHP malarkey
Not been up to much as I've had a stinking cold all week. I was playing around with RSS feeds and PHP and manage to pull my friend Paul's latest blogger entry into my site, see here:
http://www.spiderwebdezign.com/rss-test.php
Then I pulled my flickr photostream into my site here:
http://www.spiderwebdezign.com/rss-flickr.php
The RSS feed isn't styled or anything yet, but I'm really pleased it's working and it's a great way to add dynamic content. I intend to use this quite a bit in future projects...
In case you're interested Paul is a talent illustrator and foot-fetishist (Hi Paul!), and his illustrations blog can be viewed at http://lookwhatidrawed.blogspot.com/ It will do you good!

Browsers, browsers...
Decided to take some screenshot of the new site to compare how it displays in different browsers (excluding Opera, Netscape..).
Firefox:
Firefox is XHTML/CSS standards compliant so renders correctly
Google Chrome:
As with Firefox
Safari:
Layout is similar, font slightly different
Internet Explorer:
Internet Explorer is a bastard, I don't know why people love it so! Layout & font buggered..
Bowser!:
And this is Bowser from Super Mario Bros.
