weasel

weasel is back – new PSU fitted, rocking and rolling. Didn’t get the extra RAM for swamprat (new machine) because for some odd reason it was a lot more expensive in the PC World shop than on their website, will just web order it instead. Come on 2.7.92, I’m ready to build ya…

Stuff

New swamprat switchover and weasel repair will be done after a trip to PC World to buy a bit of extra RAM for the new swamprat, and a PSU for weasel, or failing that, I’ll order one from their component website. Just in time for 2.8 RC1. A couple of releases have slipped (2.7.90 and …

swamprat

New swamprat is initially installed, online update in process. Up to Nottingham tomorrow, our house fell through while we were down in Somerset, so we’re looking at four more in the hope that one of them suits. No joy getting a new PSU for weasel as yet. Maplin, and a small local component shop have …

Back home

Home from Soul Survivor now, quite tired, but feeling good. House sold while we were away, details to follow, and about to start setting up the machine that’s going to be the new swamprat.homeunix.org, so downtime is more than likely for a while. Update:Have decided to do the new swamprat install tomorrow, because Amanda’s going …

Fusilier Gordon Campbell Gentle

I read this story in the Independent this morning. I almost wept. Off down to Passion for Your Name today, blogging will be sporadic at best for the coming week or so, and I’ll almost certainly not be reading email.

2.7.90

Okay, so now I have to face up to the fact that I’m not going to get 2.7.90 built before I go to Passion For Your Name tomorrow night for two very good reasons – my build machine est mort?, and it’s not been released yet anyway. So this means that the plan of action …

Early

In the office at 7:15 this morning to do more IPSO upgrades, so tired. Took the company Golf GTI last night so I could get in early enough this morning. Still unsure as to whether I like that car. Fun to drive, and plenty of poke, but the seats are very uncomfortable, and the clutch …
