More about my new Ultrastar 20 TB hard disk backup system
I don’t quite know how I managed it but my personal/business dataset has now grown to around 17 Terrabytes. Most of it is spread across multiple smaller disks. This is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. In fact, we are decommissioning our 4TB drives. This is partly because they are well beyond recommended end of life,…
Dim Lizzy for PM
Just when we thought the Tories couldn’t possibly inflict anyone worse than Bore Arse upon us, along comes Dim Lizzy. Worst past the post, Liz Truss really is dim.

Trouble with µ4/3 is that whilst we are very well catered-for in terms of long lenses, there’s a bit of a vacuum in shorter ones. So I decided…

Persuading ThumbsPlus for Windows to work on Ubuntu Linux
This is a crude but effective way to make one of my favourite Windows applications, Cerious Software’s ThumbsPlus! version 6 or 7 work reasonably well on Linux, by using Codeweavers Crossover. This is something of a bodge and it has come about more by trial and error rather than by rational scientific reasoning – so…
