This week I be mainly listening to: Music… schmoozic! When I’m programming and need some musical background sounds, I tend to prefer acoustic tinkering, mellow electronica or even a dose of classical from time to time. I simply reach for Pandora and let it do its magic. But when its a voice I want to …
So, I’m sitting here in Starbucks mentally groaning at the weakness of the Wifi (but not my Grande, quad shot, low fat milk, 2 pump caramel latte) and I see a mailshot from the chaps (and chappette) at System i Developer announcing they have launched a new blog. Hosted by their own IBM i Power …
The Full Boris This damn problem has been going on forever. I’m sick of it. Sick sick sick bleeuuuuurgh! So come on people… someone out there must have a solution? It’s a totally weird starting problem but at least its now showing a repetitive solution. So lets go through it in clear English (well as …
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 …
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 …
What’s the deal with Camp Bow Wow Las Vegas My hound, Bailey Version Two, is staying with the wonderful chaps at Camp Bow Wow Las Vegas this week. I’m Hurricane dodging on the East Coast, and didnt want to risk flying him over here with all the potential air travel problems. So, he’s shacked up …
Just spent over two grand on new starter motor, transmission doodah and other LR stuff… and the problem is back!! Aaaarrghrgrhgrhrgrhg!!!!!! 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, 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 …
The Landrover LR3 bugger got me again at Lunchtime today.. in the rain… which is pretty rare in Charleston SC… rain that is… not Boris refusing to start (which is very very common). The only bright side to this damp tale of sorrow… is using the mysterious ‘remove spark plug 1’ technique to fire the …
Bloody sparkie thing… so I’m just not brave enough or (the real reason) rich enough to start switching out the electrical components yet… but maybe next month… Boris refused to start again… so I decided to say SCREW IT and rented a rather pleasing little black Jeep Wrangler. The rental was way too expensive but …
