When attempting to make a slave disk into a master disk (and remove the previous master), it always helps to look at the documentation for the correct manufacturer and model of disk.

Invasion of the ant people
Ok, so they’re not ant people as such.. just your average run-of-the-mill black ants. Unfortunately they were all over the dining room and downstairs toilet – not just normal ants but winged ones as well. After trying Nippon bait, B&Q ant spray (on the ones outside) and still no luck, we had to call in the professionals. The last thing anyone wants is flying ants in the downstairs toilet after all!
Argh!
Managed to drop my powerbook (and bag) today and although the padding in the bag prevented any major damage, there’s now a bit of a dent in one corner where the bag landed upside-down on the one part that had virtually no padding. 🙁
I really must invest in some kind of protective case that has padding all round instead of just on the front and back and a little at the sides.
Oven clock
Just happened to walk past our oven at midnight and it said “24:00”. A minute later it was back to “0:01”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a digital clock say 24:00 before, usually they run from 00:00 to 23:59.
