My Nemesis Hole
I went back to Mountain Ash yesterday for a Dragon DH uplift day. This is the track were, 4 weeks ago, I found a new hole and went arse over tit and couldn’t walk for a few days after. On the first run down yesterday, I stopped at said hole to have a look at…

Snooker survival
Well its another day at home ‘cos I can’t move much. Thankfully this afternoon I discovered there is snooker on, which is good ‘cos daytime TV sucks. I have managed a short walk, to the bank and back, but that hurt. I must stop falling off of bikes.

Daytime TV sucks

Weekend ‘op Norf

Hold down the ‘t’ key and pray

Okay, so I spoke to soon
Well, it did work, but today when I turned on my iBook… nothing. Resetting the PMU has no effect, so I think its dead. I am compiling VNC ATM but I’m not sure I can start VNC services via SSH, so we’ll see.

By the power of blog(skull?)
I post an entry about my iBook dying and what happens? It starts working again! Wow… Okay, so in between I did discover the correct keypress to clear the PMU, which I rather suspect helped, but, Woohoo!

Long time no update…
