About this blog
Recipe books seem to be getting fancier and fancier, showing you how to make all these wonderful-sounding but expensive and time-consuming dishes that no-one has the ingredients for and that you would only do for a special occasion. I have decided to create this blog to show some basic recipes... Continue reading

Loving my new BlackBerry
As my mobile phone contract is almost at an end I decided I should look around for a new contract and handset. My fiancée is on O2 which made the choice of network fairly simple, as I could get free... Continue reading

Good luck with it Aaron. The last time I sent mine for repair I
managed to get the problem fixed by writing down a long list of the
problems on the repair note (the one that the store entered on the
note was woefully unspecific). If you try the same you may have more
luck with the repair process.
T-Mobile G1 screen fault
I have had a T-Mobile G1 mobile phone since early July and about a month after receiving it a fault developed with the screen. The phone itself was working, and I was able to answer calls and could hear it beep when I received text messages, but the screen would not turn on. The buttons on the...

New Ubuntu blog
I have decided to use this blog to write about the Ubuntu operating system, and various other Libre Software projects that surround it. I have used Ubuntu on-and-off for the past few years, but since 10.04 LTS it has become much more usable and more attractive to use. There are definite influences from Mac OS X in this version, and I believe it has helped to make the system more attractive and usable. In particular, the default brown theme that had always put me off Ubuntu has been changed to a dark theme with a purple desktop, making the system... Continue reading

Improving SSD lifespan on a Linux netbook/PC
Some of the older netbooks on the market, such as Asus' Eee PC, use smaller SSD drives instead of a regular notebook disk drive. These have benefits such as resilience if the laptop is dropped, and can sometimes be faster... Continue reading

Summary of the holiday coming soon
I am hoping to write up a full summary of our holiday in Turkey over the next week or so and post it to &c. for everyone to read. It was an amazing holiday, and I think it would be nice to have a decent write-up of it and include a few things that I missed in the daily posts. Continue reading

Last day, and it's a beauty
The sun has come out in full force for our last day. Lizzy did a paraglide jump so Hannah, Emma and I walked down to the beach to meet her when she landed. After that we popped into a couple of the shops then headed back to the hotel to finish packing. Our cases are in the storage shed now, and we are sitting in the bar waiting for the bus to take us to the airport. We leave the hotel around 1800 local time (1600 London time) and the flight takes off at 2220 so there will be quite... Continue reading

Another morning of rain
We woke up early and got some breakfast from the restaurant, then as we finished eating it started to rain. We headed to the bar just as it started to come down heavier, and now we're sheltered in the corner waiting for it to stop. There have been a few claps of thunder but it's not as bad as the other day. Continue reading

Quiet day by the pool
We had another quiet day today as the weather hasn't been as great as the past few days. It is cloudy at the moment, and there have been a few spots of rain. This afternoon we had a dip in the pool and then went to the sauna, which felt amazing. This afternoon we will have dinner and then get a few drinks from the bar, enjoying the remainder of the sunshine and the warm, calm evening. The weather had cleared up now so it should be nice in the open bar. And as a correction to yesterday's post, it... Continue reading

Quiet day and had photos taken
A short update today as it has been a quiet one. We woke up late and spent the morning by the pool, then went to the Blue Lagoon around 1430 local time. It was nice there, but it wasn't as good as the brochures made it out to be. After a swim and a read of my book we came back to the resort for a quick swim, then changed to have our photos taken by Tweetie the resort photographer. Dinner next, then into town for a wander around the shops. After that it was back to the hotel bar... Continue reading

Visited Fethiye market
The rain cleared up after about an hour so we decided to take the opportunity whilst it was dry to visit the market in Fethiye. It's a crazy place; the vendors will offer you a very high price for their goods and then you need to haggle as hard as possible to get a reasonable offer. One vendor wa...

Visited Fethiye market
The rain cleared up after about an hour so we decided to take the opportunity whilst it was dry to visit the market in Fethiye. It's a crazy place; the vendors will offer you a very high price for their goods and then you need to haggle as hard as possible to get a reasonable offer. One vendor wanted 100 Turkish Lira for a couple of purses (roughly £50) and it got to the point that as we walked away he was running after us offering 35TL. After a while it got tedious so we headed back to the main... Continue reading
