Like the lemming I am I’ve installed Apple’s latest and greatest. The difference is, umm…. what difference. The Mail client appears better, but then I’ve not used it much before. Well see how we go.

I’m off up to Scotland again. Back for Fort William, though this time I get to race down the Nevis Ranges course 🙂 National Championships, so should be a laugh. I am just aiming not to come last. Hanging about for next week in Scotland, don’t really know what the plan is yet, though I’m…

So, what is it that makes so many Starbucks employees hear “Grande quad shot mocha please.”, as “Grande white chocolate mocha please.”? This happens all the bloomin’ time 🙁 I have also discovered that working at home is not possible for me. I attempted it this morning and I got nothing done in particular. My…

Since all the trendy kids (, , ) are doing it*, I thought I’d best pull my finger out and spend 15 seconds setting up SPF for my domain. For those of you that are scared, there is a really handy wizard HERE | al@avoriaz:~$ dig @ns1.bullit.net -t txt bullit.net | | ; DiG 8.4…

There is sod all on TV, I have to much to do and I can’t be arsed to do any of it. Arse.

Last weekend I went XC riding over at Afan Forest Park. Parked up at Afan and rode along the old rail path to the start of Whites Level. Whites is a newly build trail that is mostly technical singletrack, starting off with a 6km climb and ending in what the reviews all say is an…

Its been about a year since I last went for an XC ride. But with the Cove dusted off and my sister dragging me kicking and screaming I went out on Sunday to see just how unfit I’ve become. Very, is the answer! We were only out for about 2.5 hours, and only climbed one…

So the week before last I was up in Scotland, Fort William more exactly, Nevis Range to be precise. It was the first round of the UCI Mountain Bike Downhill World Cup and my sister was racing. Long drive, but the scenery on the way up was simply fantastic and the Dalwhinnie distillery is on…

So, we needed a new little rack mount servers for work. We generally use Dell, we only needed a single CPU and RAID1 so a Poweredge 750 looked like it would do the job. Now normally I’d use Gentoo for the OS but since this box has to run Lyris Listmanager which won’t support you…
