While looking for a disused PATA disk of sufficient size for sneaker-netting, I found a 320 GB disk still in its unopened retail box. I guess that will do just fine.

They just did WHAT?!

Three of the twelve sample pods that came with my recently acquired Nespresso Essenza D90 were decaf varieties. Tonight I tried the strongest rated one just to see how bad it was.

First impression: wow, it tastes like and espresso...
Second: except for not having much of a body to its taste...
Third: and a bit lacking in the aftertaste.

Still impressive in not being offensively bad, just a bit thin. I almost could consider buying a pack of those for the times when I'd like a cup but don't want to destroy imminent sleeping attempts with caffeine. I never thought that would happen.

There's this man that can often be seen standing or sitting somewhere downtown Linköping, but never ever have I seen him walking. So, naturally, I assumed he teleports around between his different favourite spots.

Today I was standing outside a kebab shop waiting for eating company to arrive when, much to my surprise, I saw him walking past me and then stopping by another building a few meters away to stand by the wall like he usually does. Then I turned my head for a second and when I looked back he was gone.

HaiL eRIs!!twelve

Today I got around to installing the memory upgrade I bought for my closet server some months ago.

Swap out 2×256 + 1×128 MB.
Swap in 2×512 + 1×256 MB.

Power on. POST detects 1280 MB of memory and automagically updates BIOS settings. Machine restarts and POST is happy.

Boot. NetBSD kernel starts. Auto-detects hardware. Disks. Asks for root file system. WTF?!

Manually type raid0a. Error. WTF?!

Boot netbsd.old instead. raid0a found but everything crashes.

Boot from install CD. Look at disklabels. See garbage. WTF?!

OK, maybe one of the 512 MB DIMM:s were bad. Strip down to just the known good 256 MB DIMM. Everything looks perfect.

OK, plug one 512 MB DIMM back. Everything looks perfect, well it was a 50/50 chance...

OK, swap 512 MB DIMM:s. Everything looks perfect. WTF?!

Plug in only 2×512 MB. garbled disklabels. sigh

1×512 + 1×256 MB. Everything OK.

Feh! 1 kSEK for a 128 MB memory upgrade and a pile of spare parts instead of the wanted 640 MB upgrade and a small pile of junk.

While out on today's lunch break walk I first noticed some individuals of the local vegetabilia having a bit too many green buds for the season, and then I saw one that had actually sprung fresh green leaves.

Poor little stupid thing is in for a big surprise when the winter actually comes...

And there are rumours of risk for bitch pollen in the air. WTF?!
