  • Hydrologist on @ABCNews Radio said not expecting levels to exceed 1974 ones – and 1890's had much higher levels (over 8m) #
  • .@ABCNews Radio had headlines immediately after that saying Brisbane expecting "unprecedented" floods bigger than '74.. #
  • Rocking out to The Levellers, TMTCH, John Lee Hooker, Motorhead and Jello Biafra with DOA #amarok #
  • Wow, it's so long since I've listened to "Bomber" by Motorhead – and still a good one! #
  • OK folks, enough already with the SEO expert bar jokes, what are you, SEO experts? experienced? learned? educated? tutored? #

  • Progress resurrecting my Toshiba Libretto 70CT: grub2 now boots a kernel, and the kernel doesn't panic, but… #
  • …my stripped down kernel is obviously too stripped down as it doesn't find the hard disk before trying to mount / 🙂 #
  • Much progress in the saga of getting #Debian Squeeze #Linux (6) on to my Toshiba Libretto 70CT! #

  • 3rd kernel boots and finds HD but missed option to mount largefile filesystem r/w, 4th kernel boots fine and I can login! #
