I still hate them
2 hours. 2 hours, and the data is slowly creeping from the dodgy 40Gb drive to the new 60Gb. It’s god-awful slow. I hate migrating operating systems. I’ve also realised that I’ve over complicated things, and that there are simpler solutions which I should have implemented. Indeed, given that I have to re-reinstall my main…

Let me just state catagorically
I hate computers. I hate them I hate them I hate them I hate them. Nyargh! Of all the disks to be sickly, it’s the 40Gb Maxtor. This means that my new 60Gb drive has actually only granted me a net gain of 20 flipping Gig. On top of which, the install process is not…

Mmm, 60Gb of shiny maxtor lovelyness….
….now what am I going to do with it?! Due to my extreme poorness I have a selection of smaller drives, rather than any huge ones. Most of which come from RMA’ing Rachels old harddisks. Indeed, my selection includes 1x 4 Gig, 2 x 9 Gig SCSI (given to me by John), at the smaller…

‘Twas the night before Christmas
Well, not quite, but it soon will be… And I’m not at my parents. Why am I not at my parents? Because I am full of lurgee. The cough I caught off my lil’ nephew last week has now developed into a fully fledged cold; I’m desparately hoping I can shift it before friday, ‘cos…

It LIVES!
All fixed. Apart from that side light bulb. Daubed in new slogans, coated in new tape and ready for a trip to the land of the MOT Meister. All I need is insurance.

I love my bike…. I hate my bike…. I….
Actually, I don’t hate it. I suspected what happened today would happen. I fixed my bike; it turned out the clutch had moved off it’s tapered shaft enough to no longer grip it. Having got it all assembled I started it…. and staggeringly it started first time (not bad for 9 months without running); having…

Modern Components….
…well, they’re rubbish. I just got covered in crappy oily shite changing a distributor cap, then changing the bloody thing back. Why? Because the new one, from a minor specialist doesn’t *actually* fit. Or at least it fits, but the plug lead holes are the wrong shape, so the HT leads won’t actually stay in…

A Life More Ordinary
So, some stress relief exercises, a good session (apart from the bit about it not being open ended), a new Death in Vegas CD (Scorpio Rising; 5 quid from Fopp. How cool are they?!), 2 new picture frames (need to go buy a third!); and I’m done. Feeling much better; despite work commitments and having…

Here in the South West it’s SRD time
I have a Stress Related Disorder. It doesn’t really stop me functioning; but it does make my life distinctly less pleasant. Generally, I feel sick most of the time, and like I’m going to vomit. I tend to spend an inordinate amount of time in the bathroom; lose a lot of weight; and generally hate…

In good news
…my copy of The L Word box set dvd has arrived while I was away. It seems to be terribly cool and has lots of fun / bizzare extras. Mmm. And some extra Shane. So, that is cool. Also I seemed to connect with my two nephews, despite my long absence from their lives. So.…
