Under Pressure

It would seem that this evening Severn Trent have decided to remove the pressure in my water supply. I find myself being able to run a tap in the kitchen at somewhat less than the usual torrent; possibly due to the fact the tap is below the level of the water supply. On the upper [...]

Goals for July 2011

The June 2011 has resulted in a few tasks backing up due to lack of time, resources, money etc. July will be the month for reorganising and getting back on track. The ToDo List: Get Rid of Recycling – This has been mounting up for over a month and I need to get rid of [...]

March 2011 Update

Not much has happened this month. All in all it has been quite uneventful. P.S. I bought a house.

The Rodent Confusion

For the past few weeks I have been having some performance glitches with the way my mouse interacts with my Linux machine. The mouse would move and the buttons operate normally except for when trying to press and hold the left button for example. The action would appear to terminate after a few seconds and [...]

Over the past 3 and a bit months I have been playing Eve-Online, a massively multiplayer game set in outer space. This has been the first time I have played something like this for any great length of time and like any game it took me the best part of 3 months playing to get [...]

September 2008 Hurt My Wallet

Well its the end of September and it has been an expensive month. Part of this is down to my wreckless IT spending the other down to an automotive parts supplier. Early this month I had a problem spring out of nowhere, the hard disk in my old laptop died suddenly. I didn’t loose any [...]

Never Blindly Copy Code

I have been developing my own iptables firewall scripts for my Linux machines. On the whole the process has been going quite well. Part of my research into the firewall rules involved buying a few reference books, one of which contained what claimed to be a very secure script. I copied the base rules over [...]
