03 May 2006, 11:01am When I got to my car, parked at Lilydale Station last night, I found my girls had found my car in the carpark during the day and left me a lovely note and a beautiful red rose. I was really touched. Google is my recipe book (index) - Journal - Home - Link 22 November 2005, 7:21pm I've had a few days at home, so amongst other things, I've had a chance to do some cooking. I didn't know what to cook, so I haded over to google to find out what I should do with the ingredients I had (or at least the main ingredient). Googling for "pork steak recipe" helped me find: http://www.meals.com/Recipes/RecipeDetails.aspx?RecipeID=6146 which was absolutely beautiful, while googling for "mince recipe" lead me to http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/database/minihotpot_74329.shtml which was fairly average.. Jase's Birthday - Journal - Home - Link 02 April 2005, 4:41pm  It was Jase's 32nd birthday the other day, so we are celebrating tonight and I've made the cake, based on Terry Pratchett's Discworld.. It looks like it was made by a 5 year old, but to be fair, Bec did help (as did Bern). See all the pics here Mark (almost) kills his computer - Journal - Home - Link 17 July 2004, 10:34am I managed to get a new 80Gb drive for my machine to replace the the verry full 30Gb drive I had in it, so I happily went off and ghosted the old drive to the new, changing a few of the partition sizes along the way, and getting everything ready. I went from /boot 15Mb, C: 22Gb, D: 6Gb to /boot 55Mb C: 30Gb, D: 25Gb linux 25Gb which means I can reinstall linux and continue down the path to freedom, but that wasn't the snag I hit. The snag was that the machine wouldn't boot. The LILO that was on the boot partition has obviously lost track of where Windows was sitting and simply sat with LI on the screen. I tried a win98 disk to fdisk /MBR no luck. I booted of the 2K disk and ran FIXBOOT and FIXMBR from the recovery console but no luck. I then tried to do the same again but the machine blue-screened during the process, just before it got the recovery console! I then tried a variety of linux rescue disks which told me I didn't have linux installed anymore (which I new, but I still had a broken Linux boot loader.) I might have been able to fix it from there but in the end I grabbed the most recent linux I had available, Fedora Core 1 and just installed it. Problem solved! This time I made a boot disk as well. :) Battery thing - Journal - Home - Link 28 January 2004, 8:05pm I went to replace the batteries on one of Bec's toys the other day, and I checked the back of the toy where it said 2 x "AA" Batteries and got the batteries and the screwdriver. When I opened it up, I found this:  which is a plastic case in the shape of 1 1/2 AA batteries that contains 3 x button cell batteries. I honestly can't believe this is cheaper than sticking in 2 cheap batteries, but it must be, possibly because the button cells don't leak for years.
