Skip to content ↓. David Precious – professional Perl developer, motorcyclist and beer drinker. On Aug.01, 2012, under Humour. Excellent logo suggestion for the London 2012 Olympics:. It would certainly, ahem, stretch the boundaries of the games and represent the great opening available… no, I’ll stop there. I’m not sure whether an Olympic Goatse would be better or worse than the chosen “Lisa Simpson giving a blowjob” logo:. See also the idiotic terms of use. On Jun.18, 2012, under Wibbles. Recently, alm...

Skip to content ↓. David Precious – professional Perl developer, motorcyclist and beer drinker. Battlefield 3 – party join problems and unlockable flares. On Oct.31, 2011, under Battlefield 3. So far, I’m loving Battlefield 3 – it’s great fun, and, I feel, an improvement on Battlefield Bad Company 2. It’s not without its problems; though – here are my thoughts on what I’d like to see fixed:. Flares should be available by default. Splitting parties on joining a game. Match-making can be a little shabby at...

From 5 January 2009, an 18-month trial will allow motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and tricycles – but not those with sidecars – to travel in most red route bus lanes. And questions and answers.

Skip to content ↓. David Precious – professional Perl developer, motorcyclist and beer drinker. Back in the (bicycle) saddle. On May.17, 2011, under Cycling. Last week, I picked up a used mountain bike off eBay, so I could get out cycling again. I used to enjoy cycling, but the chain on my old bike (which I was actually borrowing from my father) snapped, and I never got round to replacing it, so I hadn’t cycled for a couple of years. I’m considering uploading maps of my rides, but I’m not ent...Extract p...

Skip to content ↓. David Precious – professional Perl developer, motorcyclist and beer drinker. Texas Instruments DMCA abuse over signing keys. On Sep.19, 2009, under Information Security. Owner of pastebin.com. Received a DMCA takedown order. They seem to overlook the fact that Paul is in the UK, and pastebin.com is hosted in the UK, so throwing DMCA notices around is a little pointless, acheiving nothing more than making themselves look bad. In fact, the Streisand Effect. It’s a lost cause already.

Skip to content ↓. David Precious – professional Perl developer, motorcyclist and beer drinker. Ubuntu 11.04 – X freezing after screensaver active / laptop lid closed. On May.12, 2011, under Linux. I recently upgraded my laptop (a Dell 17R / N7010) to Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty), and since then, it has been randomly freezing when I come back to it after leaving it for a while. At which point gdm immediately gets restarted, and I can log back in. A discussion of bug 781402 on fossplanet.com. I’ve found a s...
