I just want to sometimes... Gareth: Noted! I think possibly the stock cube on its own will do that job, since it's mostly salt anyway. Will try without oil in future.

The raises the boiling point and so long as you're boiling at full heat, the rolling water will keep the pasta from sticking together while it's cooking. Result: non-oily, non-stuck-together pasta :) Actually, a better way to do the pasta is to put some salt in the water and skip the oil.

]]> Comment on Bad memory by Eskoala http://nowebsite.co.uk/blog/2010/02/bad-memory/#comment-103004 Eskoala Mon, 15 Feb 2010 09:03:31 +0000 http://nowebsite.co.uk/blog/2010/02/bad-memory/#comment-103004 Dan: I think I changed which mobo it was for one that was in stock and then didn't check properly. Presumably it won't matter too much, since it's only the speed that's affected, and the graphics memory will take most of the hit in games? If it's going to be a big deal I should get a motherboard instead! I'll wait on your reply 'til about 5pm. Pacifist: It arrived quite a while ago (a few weeks), and I already opened it because I assumed it would fit. I'm guessing that's out of the window of send-back-able.

In fact even if it's older than that a lot of places will take it back and give you a refund (minus a 'restocking' fee) You know.. if you bought the memory online and it was in the last few days you can send it back for a refund no questions asked..

How retro! Simon might be in the market for buying some DDR3 AND selling some DDR2 (he needs to upgrade a broken mobo at home, but the replacement he wants is DDR3 only). I'll ask him at work tomorrow, but if you don't hear from me in the affirmative, then either I've forgotten or it's a no-go. You bought a DDR2 mobo? How retro!

I could have offered you a free floor. Or met up with you at the German market/Mt Fuji (where I went with my friends from Japanese class the other day, I agree, very nice, much better than Wagamama) :P So you spent a whole afternoon/night in Birmingham and didn’t tell me, Helen or Pete who all live nearby!

Little darling. You'll feel better at some point but for now, when's it bloody awful, I send all my love (you'll get less sent out when you feel a bit better). You are a lovely person and your relationship with Dan was a great success. It's better to Q-it while the going's good. Thinking of you and having a beer on your behalf.
