Southampton, Hampshire, back in December 2010. Snow was quite rare in my 15yrs there; this and the previous year saw some of the largest accumulations I'd seen. This was the same weather that closed EGKK (London Gatwick) for about three days.

This is a curious idea for a game. The interior of an Oscar II sub is absolutely fascinating, and apparently very well realised.

It's nearly Xmas, which means it's a good time for the Die Hard song:

It's that time of year when it's routinely around 25F in the mornings. The kid in me likes it, the biker in me absolutely hates it.

This is a good read. And it's not ust the US, they look the same all over the world.

I know Jwiz prides himself on security and simplicity, but a Dbus api would be very nice.

Man Xscreensaver really is a persistent little bugger.

...There is always *some* job it's running that absolutely saturates the I/O. It's infuriating. This used to annoy me enough with servers, but on a modest laptop with a 5200rpm spinner it's intolerable.

finally rescued an old T61 that I was using as a Windows box. The application my bike's fuel controller uses needs Windows. I don't foresee needing that anymore so I swapped the drive with the original Slackware install. It's working very nicely now.

Windows was becoming to all intents unusable due to the I/O thrashing (an almost constant disk queue).

This is something that never fails to amaze me about Windows, and it's been a thing since Vista and they *still* won't sort it.

Freezing cold walk out at a local farm.

A quick jaunt over to birdsite and I saw a couple of high-profile accounts complaining about twitter.com/jack and his meditation retreat.

There are alternatives. You have choice.

One of those accounts has a .social presence that she never uses.

Some people just like to complain.

My sister makes this face.

Since battling various problems with my eyes since my retina decided to part ways with my left eye, I've made a lot of observations about accessibility. Masto does a good job, I find it very readable.

This is an excample of a colour scheme that absolutely doesn't work well for me:

I don't know why I find Dire Straits and Sting (looking like he just got out of bed) so amusing but I do
