This post a bit delayed but as usual I’ve been rather busy.
I spent last Saturday (21st) in Telehouse reinstalling curacao to make it similar to the new server, islay. I’d already moved everyone over to islay so I could do this and take as long as I wanted doing it. One slight snag […]
I received a letter from The Retired Greyhound Trust today to let me know that Ringo, the greyhound that I have been sponsoring, has been happily homed in Wales. I make a small monthly contribution to the RGT to help them with the cost of caring for and rehoming abandoned greyhounds. It’s not […]
aquarius, did you know about rsnapshot before doing this? It seems to do pretty much everything you want. I’ve been using it for several years, and currently back up two local and twelve remote machines ever four hours. I’m very happy with it.

Recently I’ve been slagging off Russell Brand, because the association with Big Brother and the constant appearance in the gutter press really turns me off.
It still does turn me off and I do think he’s in danger of everyone becoming sick of it, much like nobody cares to hear about Pete Doherty anymore, but I […]

For your additional peace of mind, every customer e-mail sent by MBNA Europe Bank Limited, including those on behalf of its Credit Card Partners, will include your postcode:
AB123CD
(Obviously I have removed my real postcode there)
In what universe is a postcode considered […]
I was quite shocked and saddened to notice via Ugo Cei that Robert Anton Wilson is in a bit of a bad way. I can’t say I’m a fanatical devotee but certainly he’s someone whose work I’ve read and appreciated and it’s hard to reconcile that he is terminally ill and potentially going to […]
I’m at the Hampshire Linux User Group Extraordinary General Meeting in Southampton today. It’s an EGM because the “proper” annual general meeting a month or two ago didn’t get enough people to be quorate.
I don’t usually physically attend Hants LUG meetings given they take place (naturally) in Hampshire and I live in Feltham, near […]
(Yes it’s been over a month since my last blog entry, and that’s been mainly because of how insanely busy things have been at work. I dont think things are going to improve much in the rest of 2006.)
Recently my Xen hosting hobby business actually started to make slightly more per month than it […]
