swsusp2 works!

Tue, 31 May 2005 11:11:00

Finally after trying every now and again it's working.

install kernel 2.6.11.11
install swsusp2 2.1.8
apt-get install vbetool hibernate acpid

I think the key is vbetool, which Bernard told me about at LCA2005

I discovered today I can warp space

When I started riding to ANU with a trip computer on-board the distance was 17.1kms. Today my ride was 16.8kms. Wheee that's 300 meters I've saved. I haven't altered my route, so the only logical conclusion is that, by willing the pain to be over, I have shortened the ride.

If only I had shortened the time as well.

Back From NZ

Went to NZ for the ghosts meeting with the LCA2006 crew. Was lots of fun. Recommend the Allan Court Motel for people needing self-catering accommodation, and the Eureka cafe/bar for those in need of good food and great beer (not the radler though[1]).

After Ghosts travelled back to Wellington to catch up with my Mum (whom I haven't seen in a while) and my sister Leeanne (whom I've never met). Went to Midnight Espresso for a few coffee's The place hasn't changed much since high school. After that we went up the coast for a few days. It was great to see Mum, catch up with a few old friends. 2 days was too short though.

[1]: take a perfectly good pilsner and add a dose of lemon/lime cordial, yck[2]
[2]: Okay cartman I'll lay off now ;P

Blogging leads to ....

... Needing an RSS feed and apparently an aggregator (sp?) tool locally.

I chose sage mostly because I always have firefox open, and partially because it was recommended to me.

This entirely superfluous blog is to see if sage works correctly. It seems not as I can't jump straight into a post. I wonder if it's me blosxom or sage ??
