Warning: I installed the kernel-smp package, version 2.6.8-20040921165941 from the Kernel of the Day repository today, and my laptop wouldn’t boot. Had to rescue it using the rescue mode on the DVD and the –root option to rpm.

House badness
Gyah, our buyer’s pulled out. This stinks. And for no good reason. On a happier note, laptop is now fully installed, and I’m using it. Just need to get encrypted DVD playback working, and I’ll be a very happy bunny.

Wasps begone!
Wasp nest has been erradicated (or rather within 24 – 48 hours they will all have died), which is a result. The guy who did it was pretty cool, he knocked on the door, we opened it, and he introduced himself “hi, Wasp Man”. Schweet. Core network at home is now 100Mbps – replaced my …

Business Post again
The Business Post driver didn’t take my parcel out with him. A fact I only learnt when I called them at about 16:00 to find out when exactly to expect them. They’ll now be delivering on Wednesday since i have things to do during the day tomorrow. Avoid Business Post like the plague after my …
