Pat Doyle tells the experience of getting published on amazon for the kindle….

If you are thinking of publishing, now is the time as the kindle market is about to explode with the new range of kindles for every pocket.
Well actually it has been bloody ages since I posted on this site. I am not at all sure what has happened and why I lost interest in posting on lummie.co.uk but I can only put it down to the excitement of the recent project at work. It is amazing how much time this project is taking up in my life and how little time I have for computing (except first Tuesday in the month).
So here lays a new resolution to spend a little more time in putting down my thoughts and knowledge on lummie.co.uk again.
Just got one of the Micro Attache Flash drives. I wanted something that was durable, fast and compact that I can put on my keyring. And after testing I’m very impressed. I get a sustained ~8.5MB/s write speed (advertised at 10MB/s) and read is 20MB/s (25MB/s advertised)

As part of my new push to learn c++ and do something interesting in it, I have been ensuring I document as I go along. I’m using doxygen which produces amazing output from so little information and here: qtcreator-doxygen is a plugin for QT Creator that does a fantastic job of integration.
I imagined it would be easy enough, obviously with it being fairly new hardware there might be some driver issues in Ubuntu, and once an idea dawned on me dual booting ubuntu and windows 7 on the m11x was easy.
I started with the m11x out of the box, and wiped the drive, removing all the windows / restore / dell / just to waste some space partitions. I then went through the process of installing windows first followed by ubuntu, just like have done for years. (I must make it clear, the only reason windows is installed at all is for gaming. Come on canonical sort out a partnership with steam 
)
So I boot up the supplied Windows 7 dvd and go through the set up until I get to the select partition to install on to screen. I create a new partition 250gb (all for games, ha ha ha) and click ok. Windows then pops up a dialog saying it needs to create some extra partition !!! So off it goes and creates a 250gb and a 100 mb partion.
Now this is a bit annoying, 1) in need 3 partitions for my normal linux setup, root / home / swap. Which now means I’d have to use extended partitions etc. 2) My colleague at work who has an R1 m11x says that he cannot get linux installed with windows as windows 7 messes up the grub boot with this weird partition it creates.
Then a spark of inspiration hits me, reboot off a ubuntu live cd, create all 4 partitions in the structure that I will finally need (windows, root, swap, home), then windows can’t possible go and create another partition.
Rebooted to windows setup, selected the first windows partition to install to and the setup continued ok and booted up windows.
Inserted the ubuntu cd, installed selecting the root, home, and swap partitons, rebooted and had a grub menu that allowed both OSes to boot perfectly. Result.
