I am angrier than a very Angry Bird. Boris the Landrover is once again proving that it can refuse to start in nearly every State in the USA… What makes it worse is that last Friday – I just got it back from the Garage who happily told me the problem was fixed. “A new …
IBM i TURNOVER Software Change Management Turnover (from Soft Landings Inc) is a pretty cool Software Change Management system running on ISERIES *cough* IBM i. NOTICE FOR SOFTLANDING SYSTEMS You are marketing your Change Management Product as ‘Turnover for iSeries V100’. But IBM no longer sell the iSeries systems. In fact, IBM haven’t sold this …
Just like Lazarus, Boris lives! After last weeks engine death – well kind of choking spluttering whimpering suicide – I waited for the AAA recovery truck and had Boris truck to a local garage that foolishly admitted to working on Landrover. All the time thanking the Gods that I signed up for AAA car recovery …
An excruciating new chapter in the Book of Boris (no relation to The Book of Mormon) Is this the End? Driving to a client office today all hell broke loose on the dashboard… every warning light blinking, alarms sounding, star-trek doors whooshing open and closed and phasers set to KILL! Engine computer was reporting suspension …
Driving home and suddenly the dashboard lights up with warning lights telling me about a LR3 suspension failure! “Oh No” I think “Not that bloody air suspension stuff I had replaced last year” The lights continue to blink with various warnings to ‘slow to 30 mph’ and ‘grip the steering wheel as tight as possible …

It’s not he money that is the probelm here – it’s the bloody consistent breaking down that the problem. Who am I kidding – of course it’s the money. This Land Rover LR3 is …
So, back in June 1986, at the tender age of 19, I went looking for a summer job. After seeing an add saying ‘Warehouse Help Needed‘ in the local job centre, I rode my Yamaha DT125 down to a local company who needed young fellas to move boxes around a warehouse during the summer break. …
IBMi External Procedures in TURNOVER Turnover (the one written by Softlanding that does Change Management, not the little pastry that is full of apple and tastes delicious) is a pretty cool Software Change Management application native to IBMi. But of course, you already knew that. But, did you know that you can promote an EXTERNAL …
Randomly surfing around this morning – I stumbled across this comment tucked away in some obscure pre-1990’s forum in glorious Times New Roman font. Written back in the days when terminals clunked, mainframes were the size of a room, men were men and women were pleased. I bring you the big list of JBA COMMANDS …
So, the Boris the bloody annoying LR3 has been getting worse and worse… it’s at the stage now where I just dont trust it to drive anywhere. When it does start, I just leave it running on the street if I have to go into any stores… because there is simply no guarantee that it …
