@Knight_cider No, though they do vegetarian and vegan options.

@DrHairbear Err. Seeing strange DMs from you.

@Squonk Yur. Never really done mixed backups on any scale, it does make things more complicated.

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@Squonk For that, I’d use something like this: ebuyer.com/229064-startec… so you can just buy cheap bare drives.

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@BristolCouncil So, does that mean I can’t put them in the black box? (These are technical books that are out of date, so really just junk.)

via Echofon in reply to BristolCouncil

@Squonk (I do “live” backups to a RAID NAS box, plus I do a whole-disk backup to an external drive kept elsewhere now and then.)

via Echofon in reply to Squonk

@Squonk It’s not so bad for me, as I’ve got less than a terabyte in total. So it all fits on one disk, and I just back the whole thing up.

@antimitch (I kind of went the long way round!)

@antimitch …exactly a signposted path, but it’s not hard to find from there.

via Echofon in reply to antimitchy

@antimitch There’s a map at the Leigh Court entrance to the woods, right at the corner of the arboretum. It’s not…

via Echofon in reply to antimitchy

Interesting for photographers looking for storage, perhaps: RT @theloop: Hard drive failure rates - loopu.in/1bOOu1q

Anyone know if it’s all right to put actual big books in the @BristolCouncil black recycling box?

via Echofon

@antimitch That was pretty much my mission and reasoning for today :D

Here is a better photo of the teensy tiny tree in Leigh Woods that I went out to find today. flickr.com/photos/matt_gi…

@liveindetail Also: it’s rattling, and the zoom ring is jammed. Fairly sure cleaning the contacts won’t help ;)

@liveindetail If I knew that I’d stop doing it. Neither incident stemmed from any harsh treatment I can think of.

Lens repair arranged. Got to say, Domestic & General very good lens insurance. Had this lens repaired through them before. Glad I renewed!

@antimitch Leigh Woods. Trudged all the way up to their arboretum. It’s nice.

via Echofon in reply to antimitchy

Back in from a Very Long Walk. Lovely day, marred only slightly by finding that my 17-55 lens has died again. Grr.

@jessicaplautz Not true. Chuck Norris prefers them to pretzels. Crunchier.

@weirdoldhattie I think you’ll find their “Technology Retreat Spa” package is actually £34.99 a month.

This thing is not small. I guess the clue’s in the name. Only a young ‘un, planted 1860. instagram.com/p/jblPLIpC64/

Giant - check. Red - check. Made of wood - check. Think I’ve found what I was looking for. instagram.com/p/jbk0hqJC6g/

Picked the right few hours for a walk, then. :) instagram.com/p/jbXQi1pCwv/

@ahnlak Well, obviously I was writing about one of the servants, but it’s still important to have in the vocabulary.

via Echofon in reply to ahnlak

OS X does not have “cuppa” in its British English spelling dictionary. WTF I DONT EVEN

via Echofon

Might go for a walk in Leigh Woods today. Won’t be *quite* the same as it was around this time last year… flickr.com/photos/matt_gi…

via Echofon

@liveindetail Maybe there’s a way of recycling the rind into candles. Baconcandles. For that “breakfast” small all day long…

via Echofon in reply to liveindetail

Morning all. I appear to be 41.
