woo hoo, I have been polled!!

Got a call from Alicia in Brisbane who asked me questions about politics and politicians, in particular Tony Abbott. She said she was working for Millward Brown, who have a post box address in Cremorne:

Millward Brown Australia

PO Box 424 Cremorne NSW 2900

p: 02 9927 0000 f: 02 9953 9035

Email Millward Brown Australia


The questions were mostly about what I thought about Tony Abbott's work, who I was going to vote for, and who I thought would win the federal election. It sounded a little like push polling, and I can't imagine why they would bother polling in Tony Abbott's electorate.

change default boot in GRUB boot loader

On my AMD PC, libranet linux is the first option in the GRUB boot loader, and WindowsXP is the third option.
I edited /boot/grub/menu.lst
(grub.conf is an alternative, or maybe menu.lst points to grub.conf)

and changed default 0 to default 2

When I boot the PC now, the WindowsXP is the default choice for booting.
