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?

Overview as at 11 October 2014 Bought a Soma "GRAND RANDONNEUR frameset" For some time now I have lusted after a 650B bicycle. Thought about several conversions from a 700c but never got round to it.

#deletefacebook - some feelings

#deletefacebook Last night I followed Musks lead and deleted my facebook account. Second time. First time was because I had been the coordinator of an international group and I had several hundred "friends" who I only knew thru the group. This time its for a lot of reasons but was triggered by the Cambridge Analytical scandal. Reasons; I wasn't reading any more. Just sucking up the feed each day. "The Guardian" and "the conversation" were sources to repost. I got a buzz from "likes". It took time from my day. It was insidious and reinforced my own opinions.

Mac mini 2.1 linux installation

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...
