Good Morning All, I'm waiting for the irrigation man again. Pulled the pump from the well (18 metres down) and was shocked with the state of it (carbonated up with a crusty orange deposit). Looks like my little perforations in the well bore will need a clean too as the pump is pulling water faster than it is entering the bore. Not sure how to do that (but someone here will know - for a price!). We've had a little rain for a couple of days so the garden isn't suffering yet. With your background Rod, I'm surprised you didn't strike oil by drilling an 18m hole in your back garden. Presumably you have mains water, but it's too expensive to spray on the lawn?

Exactly Dave. Probably spend £30 a month on domestic water (which we do use to water the 300+ plant pots on the patio and BBQ area). The well normally delivers 20L a minute so as the irrigation is on for about 6 hours a day (night) we use 7.2 M3 a night and our monthly volume for domestic is only around 50M3so we would more than quadruple our consumption without the well.

Good evening team,
----------------------------------------Away on business at the moment but am running my mobile workstation and surface pro 3 tablet flat out on wcg. It also looks like my main workstation and server have finished rendering so my stats are moving in the right direction.

Well, Time to replace my HTC One M8.
----------------------------------------After much deliberation have narrowed my choice down to 2. Samsung S7 Edge and HTC 10. I love HTC phones but I believe the S7 Edge has the edge. Does anyone own one and can tell me any foibles or useful features that have not been publicised? How good are Samsung at updates? I recorded everything I use my smart phone for everyday, and it averaged to 20 distinct functions, not including any games. I don't know how I survived before they were invented!  |

Good morning everyone. A dull day here at present. A little rain last night but not enough. I found (and planted) one of my favourite palms yesterday - a Travellers Palm which forms a gigantic triangular display at ground level before developing a trunk and elevating to 20m or more - watch out for the photographs as it grows.

Good afternoon everyone.
Had an entertaining morning during upgrading to latest version of Kubuntu 16.04. System alerter said 16.04 was available and would I like to upgrade so said yes. At start the wonderfully optimistic download (and wrong) would take about 25 mins, that was wrong, it took an hour and half. With the download complete it asked if I wanted to proceed saying with dreadful pessimism (and wrong) that the upgrade would take 5 hours, lo and behold it only took 1hr and 35mins. Timing has possibly never Canonicals best suit.  Still got to work out how get my multi-function printer to connect. Happy days. |

Just to let you all know, My wife has just had her Brain Op (finally!!!, over a year and a half late!), and so being down to just my wages for an unspecified amount of time, my contribution to the Grid will be minimal (not including the fact that my i7-870 has just died on me and I don't have the money to fix it).
----------------------------------------But as soon as possible, I'll be back, better than ever, I just don't have any clue when that will be (6 months minimum, based on avaerage healing time, but could be 2 years?). Keep crunching cures Team and Good Health to all   [Edit 1 times, last edit by themoonscrescent at Apr 22, 2016 3:36:04 PM] |
