  1. I love the sound of falling water. Why is that, I wonder?
  2. @jakepjohnson ta. Weather is great so far. Phone coverage on the other hand ...
  3. beware ... if you accidentally mount your Time Machine volume via Ubuntu, that volume is toast :(
  4. @gavD_UK it was very interesting to learn a different style, and to experience a different teaching style too
  5. finished re-installing the netbook; wondering what I've forgotten :)
  6. @RichardJohn heh - you haven't made it rain with your black mood today, have you? ;)
  7. @lgladdy old bioses had the sector limitation. Been a few years since I've seen a modern bios with the limitation.
  8. @lgladdy I speculate that the nc10's bios assumes you will never upgrade the disk, because it is a netbook
  9. @lgladdy it didn't show up with the nc10's original disk because that is smaller than the replacement I installed.
  10. @lgladdy it won't happen now I have a boot partition at the front of the drive.
  11. @lgladdy not sure, but it is more lightweight than wordpress et al
  12. @RichardJohn it has been so long since you ranted about your train I was wondering if you'd lost your iPhone :)
  13. @lgladdy take a look at posterous - might be just what you need?
  14. Fix to prevent future occurance is to manually partition and create an old-fashioned boot partition at the front of the disk.
  15. The cause was boot files being placed at too high a sector for the nc10's bios to access.
  16. Had to reinstall ubuntu on the netbook today after it became unbootable (grub error 18)
  17. @thedoh or just make them use ubuntu for five mins :(
  18. @s_bergmann sadly, lots of people still haven't read the memo that PHP 4 is dead.
  19. Heading for my first #taichi lesson in 18 months, and my first new teacher for a decade. This will be very interesting!
  20. catching up on this week's Linux Weekly News on the train. If you manage Linux systems, or develop on Linux, you should be a LWN reader.
