In saying that I managed to lock myself out of 3 Raspberry Pis yesterday after installing and enabling ufw whilst forgetting to allow port 22 through. I had to mount the drivers elsewhere to edit the ufw  config files to disable temporarily.

Couldn't you just attach a screen and keyboard?

I could, but for me it's easier just to pull the drive.

An old friend who moved away a while back finally replied to a Facebook message I sent four years ago. He'd missed it entirely. He was a keen photographer and back in 1979 he managed to take the most incredible photos of Queen at the Glasgow Apollo. I was with him both nights and was extremely worried for his safety when he sneaked down to the front at one point to get some fantastic close ups. The Apollo bouncers had a fearsome reputation and were well known for beating folk up and smashing their cameras. However, he got away with it and later that night printed off some pictures of the concert in his garden shed. He gave me several copies which I have always treasured.

Many years later whilst working as a cop at the SECC, he left some photos for Sir Brian. Brian later got in touch with him apologising for the fact that he mistakenly thought they were just for signing and selling on eBay and not realising they were a gift without any catch. He promised to do something with them and later they were published in a book about the Crazy tour by Gary Taylor. My friend is also a real aircraft geek and sent me some lovely shots of various civil and military aircraft. Some of the A380, Glasgow Airport pictures are really fantastic.

Quote from: Nickslikk2112 on November 16, 2024, 09:36:31 PMBe nice to get 12 more in tomorrow for 150 for the week, but the weather may not be too good. We'll see.

Weather wasn't good and I didn't feel good.

Decided to spruce up the Turbo Trainer bike yesterday. Chain was almost completely seized up, took a good hour to clean it up and get it moving, still several stiff links after that. Plenty of GT85 and lube seem to have it about 99.5% there now, might give it a try. Still don't feel good though.

Same here.

I've chickened out, the roads are too wet. Tomorrow perhaps.
