Al: a blog about bikes and stuff.

  • Dell PE2950

    In the Feb 7th release of the driver for Dell’s PERC/4eDC I noted the compatibility with PE1950 and PE2950 servers, servers that don’t exists. But they do, May release… http://www.spec.org/cpu/results/res2006q1/cpu2000-20060219-05624.asc. How sad am I for noticing and looking it up ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Just wrong…

    So I was search for the release date of Bambi 2 on Amazon… example here. Thats just wrong and not funny when you have a 5 and a 7 year old jumping about wanting to know the date… You have to look for Bambi II to find it. If the link stops working the two…

  • its was just Dell being crap…

    It turns out that Apple have it sorted and that Dell just suck. http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp shows I am am on 1.4.2_09 and that the Dell applet doesn’t like me cos I am not on Windows. Arse. Ah well… XP on a MacBookPro is what I NEED for work then ๐Ÿ˜‰

  • Mac Java

    So today I needed to use a Dell DAC4 “console” for the first time in anger. Its a simple enough thing, you SSH forward ports 443 and 5900 to your local machine, point the browser at https://localhost:whereever and off you go. This works fine… or did. You see, since I tested these things, Java 1.5/5…

  • Weekend update

    Quite why I am up at 6am to watch some cars drive round and round a track I don’t exactly know, but hey! An odd day yesterday, it also started to darn early but since it was light outside the children got up and thus I was woken, bah. Had to go into work in…

  • Snowboarding

    I have returned from foreign shores mountains. La Plagne was good, not excellent mind, because the resort has some of the worst pisting that I have ever known! There should not be icy mogles on a blue run in resort at 10am. Les Arcs (a quick ski away and across the Vanoise Express) had worse…

  • Week off

    I don’t think I have told anyone I am off for a week to go snowboarding in France, so… tarra! If you hear about an avalanche in La Plange please only say nice things about be to the press, thanks ๐Ÿ˜‰ Oh… there is a bobsleigh run their too, and Bob claims it has her…

  • Apple cores

    Well, if you substitute MacMini for iBook in my post on Saturday, I was right about solo/duo. Damn I am good! Okay, so it was an obvious thing when you thought about it, but, I thought!

  • There is a Yeti in my flat…

    You know me, I like bikes, but there is a Yeti in my flat and I am in love! More later and a few pics. Update:Pics HERE.

  • Apple rumors…

    I have been thinking. There is much talk about what Apple with do with the iBook, or should I say ‘MacBook’? There are a number of people that say it needs to hit the 999 USD price point for the educational market, then there are those that say it needs to be more powerful to…

Got any bike recommendations?
