A blog about skating and cycling, or vice versa

Booted out#

You don't get a LIM race report, because I didn't race at LIM. Although I was expecting to, but while swapping wheels before the skate I noticed a bit of flex on the frame: then I took the frame off the boot and found that the problem was that the mounting block for the rear bolt had come away from the carbon. So, uh. Boots are now on their way back to Germany for Daniel Junker to look at.

This week I have been mostly finding a new flat. And adding 3d Secure support to Stargreen. And playing with my new mixer. I got sucked into running the development version of Mixxx (because it works out of the box with the x-session) which, being C++, taxed my poor old 512MB RAM like nothing since the Roman Empire. So, now 2GB heavier and circa 60 quid lighter - let's hear it for Yoyotech, a bricks & mortar central London computer parts shop whose prices are, unlike Maplin or PC World, vaguely comparable with what you'd pay if you were patient and went mail-order.
