We went off down to London on Saturday to see the grand opening of the new Apple Store on Regent Street. Unfortunately some people had been queuing for a day or two like this person (check their entries for November 19th-20th 2004). The queue was absolutely huge by 10am so we …
Having recently tried to install a new machine at work with Fedora Core 3, I’ve decided that I won’t be getting myself a MegaRAID i4 IDE RAID card at any point.
It’s only the 18th of November (or was a couple of hours ago when I took the picture) but we’ve got snow already. Not just a light sprinkling of some powdery stuff, but lots of real huge wet flakes. This is a picture of the top of our fiesta after just a couple of …

Well, after 3 weeks the pool had turned a nasty green colour, had emptied of water a fair bit compared to when it was full, and the water on the rain cover (plastic dust sheet) was occupying more of the space in the pool than the water inside was! Had to drain the pool and …
Went out to check how the pool was doing yesterday. It’s been there a week and no-one has yet ventured into it because of the awful weather we’ve been having. After all the rain last week, there was quite a large puddle collected in the top of the makeshift cover (an …
