Well after an encounter like this one the 4*4's on limestone Avenue pale into insignificance.
Nice ride today.. commute again..
brisk and a headwind. rode the MTB. bit slower but oH so nice on those continetal tyres.
just bounds along.
Nice coffee in Mitchell then off to work...

Return trip was great too. Tail wind.

No trafic hassles..

    Hey. Just stumbled upon your blog as I was curious what else folks are writing about. Very nice. I live in New Orleans and will be visiting Tasmania in less than a month. I'll have four days there. What should I do and see?

Mac mini 2.1 linux installation

If you have one of these beasts linux installation can be a pain. Seems they use a 32 bit efi for the boot. So when you put any of the standard CD disks - yes disks as booting from USB doesn’t work -  it hangs asking you if you want method 1 or 2…. Early disks of ubuntu or fedora will boot but then you have to do a series of online updates. A total pain. I did want to do a Arch install but debian works - as ever so thats what I did. Debian will boot if you you use the mac image see;  http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/amd64/iso-cd/ Described in the following blog; http://sadevil.org/blog/2016/01/24/replacing-os-x-with-linux-on-my-mac-mini-21/ I did eventually get Manjaro linux installed by using a 686 net install version. https://wiki.manjaro.org/index.php?title=Installation_Guide_for_the_NET_Edition_0.8.10 It boots well on the 2.1 mini  boot and but you must ensure when installing that you set the whole thing up to boot in BIOS mode on all the i...

Well it all went well dispute all the warnings to the contrary. Just works. Now I can sort out my side of the system. Web server and other stuff. Sitting in the shed using the net is a nice experience listening to the wind and watching the dogs. Need to sweep the shed.

Deepin Os Manjaro Deepin Manjaro XFCE on a gutless HP 360

I'd tried Deepin from my Cinnamon Manjaro install and liked it . Knowing I had to really do a clean Manjaro Deepin install to get the best of the system I thought I'd try pure Deepin OS first. Install process was flawless but somewhat different, maybe more bling? Maybe the Chinese characters at places. Maybe the different aesthetic? Worked well. Inital update went well but I did put in my standard packages. Gimp, Insync, Dropbox, Zotero, Wine (to run Scrivener), Xmind, Simplemind, Notecasepro, Softmaker Office, - Solaar. Tusk, All worked well. But the CPU was running at 60% where as doing the same on Manjaro it was running at 22%. (now) Store was great and integration with Flatpac was good. It reminded me of MacOs. Like it but not love. Bit too slick. Iwill use it to introduce others to linux but it was not quite for me. But Manjaro Deepin. Nice interface. Still has issues with freezes so it was back to XFCE with a MX linux style theme. MX Linux is interesting ...
