daniel's handy traveling hints

Here's another handy hint: if you're lugging a complete computer on a plane, including sizeable tower case, don't bother checking whether it fits in your suitcase until just before you leave. Of course it'll fit.

In unrelated news, my lovely silver case now has a massive broken dent in it.

zomg vorbis

Thomas, I'm a skanky leftie, though as time goes on and all the iPod rivals slowly eliminate themselves due to disintegrating or being crap (if you like it, that's great, I can see that it has nice points, but they're just not for me), it starts to look like a less good choice. Although the iPod does have that god-awful clickwheel these days. Ugh.

And Ross, I'm also a food leftie. It's the only way to fly. Supermarket tomatoes are just crap when you've had proper huge, deep red, hydroponically grown organic tomatoes from the market, sold to you by the people that helped grow them.

tripleverbify

J5,
Nice entry, but this sentence no verb, let alone three.

Recommend 'securify, flexify, manageify'.

postgrey on gabe

Just as a heads-up, gabe.fd.o, its primary MX, is now running postgrey. Some mails may take a while to get through as MXes back off too quickly, so don't be alarmed. If your mailer throws messages away after getting a 451, that's its fault. Remain seated. Please do not panic.
