Rain, I must be on holiday

Yes, as usual I go to Cornwall and the weather comes in. O.K. it’s a given that on the August bank holiday it will rain. So hoping it’ll clear up soon.

Will blog images of the Concentration camp accommodation later. O.k. we only paid £300, but it could really do with a bit of modernisation. Looks like the 80’s 90’s ange 00’s have by-passed the St. Ives Holiday Village (which isn’t in St.Ives).

The TV supplied (which is essential in the rain) is rather crap, most of the windows don’t shut properly and the exterior of the prison block is rotting.

Still it has Wifi, handy when 02’s rather pathetic data service dies on it’s arse (seems to be a weekly occurrence).

Update:

Images of interior of accommodation…….

Snow Leopard, yes I said I’d wait……..

….to install. But thought what the hell, why not I’ve got a bit of time to kill.

Slightly worried that the installation on my MacBook didn’t ask if I wanted an Upgrade or new install.

So 5 minutes to find out if I’m going to be reinstalling applications all night. Just hope this update doesn’t break the Canon software again.

/edit seems to be fine.

My 200gb hdd is now 214.75gb
Now have 155.25gb spare compared to 135.96gb
Used space dropped to 59.5gb from 64.04
Install took around 50 minutes.

Fixed!

What? Well MySQL of course. It wasn’t broken, just didn’t like to start properly. I really should buy a book on it, so I know what I’m doing.

Turned out it was just permissions on some data.

Now time to restore missing posts and comments. SQL hacking here I come (will backup first).

S’not funny

Bunged up, probably not baconFlu just a bunged up nose and head. So decided to work from home, I’m not ill enough to be off, but too bunged up for visit to the office/shed/B&Q with desks.

Good thing is the missus is out with the kids so I can actually concentrate on stuff.

Where did I go?

To fix MySQL, mainly cos I broke it. What a pain in the rear that was!

Things I’ve found out tonight – The Blog backup only backs up data, not dB user info!
I still don’t know how it ever got working in the first place.
Don’t mess around if it’s working fine!

Also there’s a case of where did the odd post go also? Last month I posted about the AP monthly competition. Fen from AP forum replied. Both post and Fen’s comment has gone. Also noticed old comments have gone also. Odd, but at least my backup *should* be better now.

Time to continue with the tidy up, seems categories has been cocked up also!
