Another Drive Error
Diamondmax 10, model 6b1OPO, 160GB. All was good. Copied about 70meg of music to it. Windows reports a corrupted image and says to run chkdsk. I check the file and yup, it’s not right. I go to run chkdsk and it says it needs to do so at reboot. Odd considering it’s a second drive, [...]

A very old father
Back in the late 70′s I was dragged to the local church every Sunday. My Dad was a Roman Catholic (as his parents had been) (he dropped the RC when the divorce came along. As they do.) The first ‘Father’ (do they call these guys priests? – says me a confirmed RC myself. Lapsed) was [...]

Nest building
J has gone into nest-building mode. I have no idea why – and thankfully it’s not the full-on version she has when she was pregnant. That was scary! – but she wants things changed. Being the ‘Man Of The House’ I have little choice but to nod mutely while smiling in a “Of course that’ll [...]

mp3 tagging
I mean mp3, .ape, aac and the rest of course. I’ve got loads of music tagged but depending on what ripped it the tagging is all different which annoys me. So … playing around I can’t decide if number – track – artist – album number – track – artist number – artist – track [...]

Infocom
Many moons ago – back in the Amstrad CPC6128 days (when I could write assembler) I played a lot of text adventures: Several years ago I bought The Lost Treasures Vol 2 which I still have. All the docs, the book, the 3 FD’s. Because some adventures I wanted to play were not on that [...]

Living On
Ages and ages ago I posted something along the lines of “What would happen if I died and how would you know”. I still have no answer, but Myspace has: http://www.mydeathspace.com. A strange place if for no other reason that you know they are dead – and I found a few of the ‘obits’ there [...]
