Just bought a new Samsung 22″ LCD screen – wow, what a difference, no more squinting on my 15″ laptop and I run both 15/22″ together to make a huge desktop.

Very stoked, for once something is not crap!

Try sunshine then rain then hail and wind inbetween. 

That’s the climate right now.

Almost like a micro-climate.  But never mind, it could be much worse like the south of England, UK.

Po171 error code on my new(ish) Lexus RX300.  It flags up OXYGEN SENSOR 1 BANK 1.  Already replaced in January, I had it replaced again for free.

CEL / Engine light comes on after 100 miles or so.

More investigation – Lexus just guess, no concrete ideas.

So I go to www.clublexus.com and get some tips from the very helpful users

A/F sensor (the one behind the engine)
MAF sensor
Faulty fuel cap 
air intake (hose loose)
fuel line pressure
injector blockage
engine coolant temperature sensor
gas leakage on exhaust system

 I cleaned the MAF 1st time, no difference.  Cleaned the MAF again with contact cleaner and a cotton bud.  Disconnected the battery before hand of course and that reset the CEL / Engine light.

I’ve plugged it all back in and going to run it to see what happens….

Somedays I just wake up and can’t be arsed.

Is it the imbalance of chemicals in my brain?  A poor sleep?  Declining serotonine?  I’m not a depressed person, but some days I just can’t be bothered….maybe it’s the pressure of having to work when all you want to do is chill out and watch Trailer Park Boys

I hope tommorrow is better…

Well if there ever was some crap that made it big, it was the Spice Girls.

The first time I saw them, I thought it was a talent show or something.  Then I realised they’d had a few No.1s….oh dear.

I think timing was the key – these days the silly stupid unserious-nous of the Spiceys wouldn’t wear.  Farting around like school kids, being amateur and clutzy on stage, it was very home grown, like the Pot Noodle adverts.

But anywayz, they’ve made a mint out of being unprofessional but adhering to what the market wanted.  Now it’s all about bling and showing off/confidence etc.  What a lot of….er….crap!
