Decided to take a break from Hong Kong and spend a few days in and around Osaka, Japan. It rained quite hard today, so we took a riverboat trip. Also found some LED geese.

Stag Beetle Larvae in my garden
ByGarf 2021-03-302025-02-06

I decided to a bit of work in the garden yesterday afternoon. As I was clearing away some of the dead wood from some old tree stumps round the back of my shed, I came across these wee beasties. They were massive. Unfortunately they were a tad camera-shy, but before they curled up, they were…

Novatech/Clevo E16 & X16 Wireless Networking under Ubuntu Linux
ByGarf 2009-12-092024-12-06

This was actually rather annoying. These days one rather expects wireless networking to work “out of the box”. Anyway, seems the fix is reasonably simple. These instructions are very specific and therefore need to be followed exactly. They assume you are using the 64 bit version of (K)Ubuntu. I’m also assuming you are using Firefox…

Brass monkey weather
ByGarf 2022-12-142025-02-06

Here on the central south coast of England, it is rare for temperatures to drop much below freezing. This cold snap we recorded -4.5 °C at night and barely rising above 0°C during the day. And thanks to economies we’re making due to the ridiculously high price of natural gas, the house itself seldom rose…

Cobden Bridge
ByGarf 2025-05-112025-07-13

Visited my mother in Southampton today. It was a warm day so I stepped out on the balcony. This has magnificent views to the west, overlooking the River Itchen. It is also pretty close to Southampton’s famous Cobden Bridge. This is a major road and pedestrian bridge crossing the River Itchen. It forms part of…
