I like it when things slowly fall into place. My N73 case and magnetic dock arrived on Monday. Then on Tuesday my Parrot Bluetooth GPS car kit arrived, I was surprised at how small it was, even the GPS antenna. We are getting there, slowly but surely. Matt gets back from his holiday in Oz […]

What a weekend! So much to write up on but it will take me a while, so please bear with me. We will begin, as all my stories do at the beginning, which means heading back to the small hours of Friday morning. I did not sleep properly, drifting in and out. I got up […]

I got to the office early yesterday morning. Early by even my standards. It was 8am and I was in the zone. I called Vodafone. It was the anniversary, it was my upgrade date. However, when I first called the computer system was down. The guy was going to call me back in 10 minutes […]
Friday 6th April 2007
A nice relaxed Good Friday with nothing major planned. It panned out well considering. I had arranged to head over to Pav’s for about 11am and he was going to give the A3, a quick wash and pre-detail inspection. The car was not really dirty but could do with a clean up anyway. I got […]

Drove into Wycombe on Sunday and noticed a new post at the top of Marlow Hill. Sure enough, they are going to place a SPECS camera to catch even more speeding motorists. Making 1.2 million over the past four years obviously is not enough. I tried to do some research on the net but nothing […]
Saturday 31st March 2007
End of March already? Where is 2007 going? I was out for a curry with some work colleagues last night and Chris (the saviour that he is) drove me back home at half past midnight by which time his girlfriend had fallen asleep. If that relationship breaks down, I’m sure I will be the first […]

My manager (or rather former manager) gave me a disk for fixing my hard drive this afternoon. It was the legendary Hiren Boot CD. An amazing piece of plastic of just 68 megabytes. At first there was success, the partition table was able to be recovered, but still Windows refused to pick up the drive […]
Sunday 25th March 2007
What a weekend! I am not sure where to start really, I am tempted to work backwards from this afternoon but I do not know how well that will work when being read back. As I got into my car at Pav’s house this afternoon, around 1pm (BST) I decided to head to Forbury Retail […]
Friday 23rd March 2007
This was not how I intended to start the weekend. I could handle even a minor problem, something manageable but this was crazy and completely unexpected (as most computer problems are). My 200 gigabyte Maxtor drive, has become corrupt and unreadable. Do not fret, it is not my main system drive but my secondary drive […]
