I installed my new 250Gb hard disk in my PC, getting it setup under Linux was just a case of running fdisk to reinitialise the partition, mkfs.jfs to format it and jfs_tune to change the disk labels about a bit, then updating the fstab with the new mountpoint. I tried my external SATA enclosure out with the other 250Gb and it didn’t go so well – I plugged it into the VIA (Nvidia?

I went to see Kev and fit his new hard disks, we forgot some key components as usual so ended up going to Maplins this morning to get Molex-to-SATA power adaptors. Luckily my eSATA enclosure had the right type of power connector, so we got the formatting/copying done using that on Friday night. I’m very pleased with that enclosure, it worked fine in both USB and SATA mode with the 500Gb Seagate and the 250Gb WD drives.

In true Bank Holiday style, it’s pissing down with rain – it’s one of the constants of the universe! Just watched The Ex, which was OK. I’ll probably watch Venus later. I had a kebab last night with leftovers this morning, I don’t know what it is with the kebab industry these days – you get almost no sauce anymore, and what you do get is like sandwich spread or something weird.

Just watced White Noise 2, and it was really good, all except the ending which seemed a little rushed. It even features Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica. I had a lovely salad today as I found a load of leftover spring onions, cucumber and celery in my fridge that I’d forgotten about, just added some lettuce with some cheese and ham. I’ve got to find some more Xbox games as I’ve finished Call Of Duty 3 and am fed up of my older games.

I went to Halfords today and got the stuff for motoring in France – first aid kit, triangle, bulbs, fuses, headlight adaptors etc. I also went to the Citroen dealership and got the bonnet arm clip thing replaced. I also managed to adjust my GPS so it doesn’t obscure my speedometre! Went to lunch at the local pub and got rent money from Tescos. The weather has gone off (typical bank holiday!
