Anyone noticed that it's friday the 13th today? I must say I didn't notice it, it was a day like any other.

I hadn't noticed either, well, at least until now :)

Despite Friday the 13th, I believe I had a good day even if some news was not really welcome.

A lot more heavy rain. Though not as much as last week.
When we had the thunderstorms last week the department was hit by lightning, thereby sending every instrument in the place haywire.

Thank God it's Saturday.

Half a day is a bit of a long haul for a domestic UPS :-(

I trust that John managed to find a quiet corner to rest his fragile bones and consume some solace....

Well, yes I suppose you were missed...


(Nice entry in the word link, I think we will flush out the mere pretenders with that one)


And thanks for the drink, 'twas most welcome to wash the wood dust out of my throat after making a pile of logs into something that might fit into a wood burning stove.

Darn...Today I normally went to Westvleteren to get some trappist with my sister in law but she's ill so I didn't have a ride. Instead of that I went walking with the walking club. We only did 7 km because there was so much rain. It still was a good walk though.

??
Now I'm confused - I always associate "Trappist" with an order of monks, so what is this that you are doing?

Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law, you two are going through it :-(

Trappist is a beer with top fermentation that is brewed only by monks, so you were right about the monk part. I bought some Westmalle in the supermarket today. It's no Westvleteren but it's still a good trappist.

Yeah, my sister in law has the flu. I think it's because of the cold weather we've been having.

I had large fish and chips for tea not half an hour ago, but watching Man vs Food on Dave has me salivating again already.

(for anyone outside the UK, Dave is a TV channel)

Gradually starting to get things back in order -

The single PC is back in action, and I will try and get the GPU sorted on the other. It is always best to have a couple of machines functional as a fall back.

No UPS, unfortunately, and I wound need to think where to place one that can protect 4 PCs when they are all running together (some time).

Front border completely weeded, and the old wood chips, now a compost, spread over it. It looks good. We purchased 2x80 litre bags of wood chips which should slow down the growth of new weeds. A bit of light hoeing should then keep things at bay.

Block drive will be RoundUped Wednesday (rain allowing) to kill all the weeds, and both front and back lawns cut (we now pay a man). No further issues there, and the garden should nor detract from the village's efforts to get the prize in the Prettiest Village competition this year.

I now have to figure a way to get my two old servers upstairs and hooked up to do some low level crunching.

Not a problem John. If you get really stuck I'll come up for the day and shift 'em myself for you.


Thanks for the offer, Chris. I may take you up on that, but I have other priorities to support first in the garden and house.

The reason they are still downstairs is one is a real heavy monster (the dual Xeon). The dual P3 is quite light, and I can take the load up on Sheila's stairlift. The reason I am being cautious in loading my arms is the Osteo consultant being worried the bone on the right arm will break. The solution of a general anaesthetic and surgery is out of the question due to the time spent in ICU in April/May.
