Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Littlepeahead]

Being so tired today.

I sensibly didn't drink yesterday after the match even though there were free drinks for a few hours. Instead I met a friend and drank tea, was home by midnight.

Still wide awake at 2.30am. Had to be up at 5.30am. Insomnia sucks.

I'm struggling today. The mate I was with last night said he slept like a baby and he sloped off home to Wales just after lunch today having finished his personal appearances. My next day off is a week Sunday!

Seeing a Plymouth Roadrunner (albeit on a trailer) on the M25. Not in any way a gripe of course but I was driving so I couldn't take a picture. Dammit!

Bean counters making getting my suppliers bills paid easily

Rain, rain and more rain. Spoiled the end of the Test series. I've had soggy feet so many times today.

[Littlepeahead]

Another match day washed out. Then stuck in traffic all the way home again.

[Littlepeahead]

Paying £4 for a cheese and tuna panini and then getting back to the office to find it full of sweetcorn. They never normally add the vile devil sperm that is the yellow lumpy stuff.

Uuugghhhh, I had to scape it all out into the bin and just have the cheese.

[maviczap]

Sweetcorn yum yum, save it next time

Daughters Clio :- Was out in the pub last night. and

"I saw Laura last week revving the balls off her car."

She phones today : clutch gone.

Was there any indication it was going? No.


Liar!




So just managed to limp it back to mine and up drive. Oh the fun. 3 weeks after my carpal tunnel op and I am back spannering for kids because their other halfs are useless.

Someone hitting my wife's MR2 and driving off. Someone caught their reg so will have to decide what to do. Slight scuff on bumper.

not reading specs.

Need a new NAS.

So buys a 5 bay chassis. Asrock N3150-ITX motherboards supporting 4 SATA, 16GB SO-DIMMS, 5 WD 3TB Red disks and a PCI-E controller for msata/5th sata.

I already had a 256GB msata for boot in the gubbins box.

Starts to put it together and FFS.

The sata/msata controller requires at least x2 PCI-E, yes the motherboard I bought is x1 PCI-E.

So motherboard swap time for the PC on the tv with a full PCI-E interface, so I don't need to buy another board/processor. But that one has only 4GB. So off and buy another 16GB in DIMMS this time. TV PC is now overkill in memory. But it all goes together.

Start trying to use the new NAS and data errors. Run SMART diags on the alerting disk and no fault found. Swap cables and it is still alerting.

So move the SATA onto an unused on my sata controller and everything hunky dory.

So I have a duff sata port on my old mother board.

This money saving NAS has ended up costing me, simply because I didn't read properly the spec of the Asrock N3150-ITX motherboard before I bought it. The board is well past its warranty, lesson learned. Next time don't be in such a hurry. Read first.
