Wow, I'm getting to be quite slack at updating this... :)
I'm now 13st 6, and feeling quite trim already, less than a
stone to go till I hit my target weight for the end of June
- quite a nice thought.
ADSL link is getting to the point of me considering it
useless. About a week and a half ago, the DSLAM for my line
locked up. Took almost a week to get it reset by BT, after
which point I managed an amazing 15 minutes (or so) of
connectivity, before it locked up again - what a joke. I'm
currently in a queue for Pipex's tech support line. That's
an improvement from not even being able to get through,
which is normally the case.
Someone on one of the Evolution lists mentioned that there
seemed to be no gnome-spell packages available for SuSE 8.0,
so I put some up on usr local bin
My new PC is also causing me problems. When I built it I
used the AMD supplied CPU cooler. A decision I now think
may have been a mistake, it keeps randomly powering down,
sometimes just a matter of minutes after booting. It even
does it if I just run it in the BIOS config. At first I
thought it was just that the CPU was overheating because of
the AMD fan, so I replaced it with a CoolerMaster, which
keeps it about 40 degrees (F) cooler, but the same thing
keeps happening. Wondering now if I've damaged the CPU by
running it so hot for so long, which could explain why it's
still powering down.
Have now been in the queue for ten minutes...
