We’re in Heathrow awaiting the flight to Johannesburg. Tired. Thank goodness Julie had access to an executive lounge. Booked a place in the nick of time to stay at which seems quite nice.
Very tired from staying up late packing and planning.
Looking forward to Cape Town tomorrow.
How can Heathrow end up looking so scabby? The scuffed carpets, vile staff uniforms and general warren like nature of all the interconnecting passages is a terrible gateway to the UK.
Must run.

This car, subject of a recent crash in Surrey is seriously over specc’d. How tempting it must be to hit the accelerator for 2.5 seconds and be at 100 km/h. Not to miss the fact that holding down the accelerator for 55 seconds gets you to the top speed of 400 km/h at which point you will be burning a Hummer’ly satisfying 125L/100km. Contrast this with a new car coming out of Bavaria that burns 1L / 100km.

I’ve been working in the Library today away from IP temptation listening to Ken’s latest mix: Malzeit. Those in the know can find it on imagiDarknet. Those that need to know can email me.

Nancy’s stare, Ronald’s acting showing through and some very good editing. “Here in the Whitehouse drugs are a constant temptation" I love it!

Mythtv was complaining since I hadn’t been setting show’s to auto-expire. 600Gb of recorded content later, it was failing to record new shows because it couldn’t expire old ones to make space.
This was simply solved and one of the reasons that I love mythtv:

Now all my television programs will expire after a couple of weeks to make place for fresher programs. That is unless I specifically set them to not expire which for some reason I had been.
