News, travel, environment, atheism, love, health and all that related stuff. Apparently I can't sort words in alphabetical order.

PartedMagic failed? Use an old Knoppix CD!

PartedMagic

I’ve finally found a drive that PartedMagic can’t handle, but fortunately I still have a friend in dd. Sounds like a trailer for an episode of Dexter’s Laboratory. UPDATE: Even better, use an old Knoppix CD!

90s nostalgia and the Libretto 70CT!

The ridiculously cute Libretto 70CT!

Ladies, gentleman and everyone else, as you sit here today reading this post (or walking around reading it on your smartphone, hey WATCH OUT for that pole!) I’d like to regale you with a tale, and this time it has nothing to do with Alan A’Dale. Alan A’Dale. This Tale, has nothing to do, with Alan A’Dale. The Tale.

Sorry folks, Nobel Prizes aren’t Olympic Medals!

Todd Tyrtle recently posted a comment on Google Reader highligting what I think is the real problem with consistently idolising sporting achievements over other fields. It’s not "cool" to take this position, particularly in a place like Australia, but I’m going to side with the egghead.

Having just spent the last few days talking about my own social anxiety, awkwardness and questions about my point in life, the universe, everything and 42, I thought I’d stop being so inwardly focused and address someone else’s post discussing similar issues.
