Political colours
I’m sure there are other tests – and I’d like to take more – but this will do for now. Found the link on twitter with Mike’s blog being here. The Political Compass is the test you are now itching to take.
One curious way
I was watching Jacq use the internet the other day. ‘watching ‘ as in waiting for the coffee machine and vaguely looking in her direction. She wanted to get to somewhere so she cleared the address bar of the browser and typed the search term (it was not a site she had been to, no [...]
What to do with a PC.
The PC youngest uses has been declared dead earlier. It will get to the screen that offers Safe Mode but will not complete that loading. I haven’t tried to change boot order but I can’t see that not working. So I have a 2 HD 1gb RAM PC with I know not what inside. It [...]
NAS or not to NAS
Been reading about NAS and with 2 computers to upgrade and daughters that have a stack of photos some of which are not backed up I wondered if this would be a solution. I have no idea if it is – colour me clueless on this one. The setup: me: 2 mac minis that are [...]
Concentrated working
I’ve been using Concentrate for a while and thought it about time to write a few words about this excellent program. Why use it? Because it focuses my attention and it breaks a task down into manageable chunks. I have 6 activities – plugins, support etc – and each has broadly similar elements with the [...]
Reasons I like Usenet
1. The junky funny anarchic happy wacko groups out there 2. The massive variety of groups 3. The anonymity 4. The flames. The spam problem is huge so setting up filters takes time but finding good groups is well worth it. A couple of them: free.uk.mad.alien.sheep.on.drugs.discussing.politics alt.sex.wizards free.munch.onions free.clinton.and.assholes.who.like.to.trash.him free.fuckwit.scrappy alt.www.stupid-idiots.com alt.music.cake alt.binaries.pictures.drinks.coffee alt.crafts.candlemaking.soapmaking.moderated free.radish.therapy [...]
Another reason to hate iTunes
Like I needed more… It’s 3am and pretty quiet. I realise that the external HD is noisy. Check that Spotlight hasn’t decided to index it (not allowed to) and realise it’s that damn iTunes again. Pause playing the music, drive stops. Repeat to be sure. Go do some searching and fine instances of this very [...]
this.is.fab.
Jacq thought it would make a change from the sea of coffee I can drink. I missed the subtle ice cubes, the word ‘iced’ and so the first one was hot. Good it was too. If you don’t like peach this will not change your mind – the 3 others in the house can attest [...]
