Relationships: Speed up, dear or you'll run out of testosterone

While on the general topic of cars, here’s a laughable Sunday Times article from the Driving section. Do they think their readership is composed of car mad neanderthal, testoserone overflowing males?
I for one would love to be driven around, by anyone.

Passion in a marriage can be killed when a woman gives too many driving instructions to a man. And when women are driving men around all the time you can bet that couple are not having much sex any more – that behaviour doesn’t foster increasing testosterone, which is part of the attraction between a man and a woman.

Rover, here boy! It's not a dog's life at Rover.

Proinnsias has a good replacement logo for the ailing Rover motor company.
By chance, I read this morning an article interviewing Jon Moulton who wanted to buy Rover a few years back.. “If only they’d sold Rover to me …” Love this quote:

Asked whether MG Rover might have had more success if Moulton had taken over the company, Daniel Ward, a spokesman for the car maker, said simply: “He didn’t.”

The paper has more here and here, including the revelation that the Chinese have a claim to the Rover name!

Debian Sarge, PHP4 and Apache2.. why do you persecute me?

Oh FFS! Has anyone had a problem with Apache2 and PHP4 on Debian Sarge/Testing? I have a stock install of it with nothing unusual AFAICT but Firefox keeps trying to download and save php files instead of processing them. All the config files seem to be correctly set up. Files in mods-enabled/ are fine.
Why am I upset? I added the wp-newblog.php to WPMU SVN tonight, imported a chunk of code from install.php so it’s a one-step process, but I can’t test this thing to see if it works! It’s here as a WPMU snapshot but it won’t work out of the box. It needs an entry in .htaccess first, and bug fixing.

I’m off to relax, it’s been a long day.. zzzz

Much Later… I finally got it working again. I tried dpkg-reconfigure phpmyadmin but it didn’t update the config file with this error:

Not replacing deleted config file /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf

Following the clues from here I did the following:

apt-get remove –purge libapache2-mod-php4
apt-get remove –purge apache2
apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 phpmyadmin

PHPMyAdmin now works fine, and hopefully wpmu will too!

Bank Of Ireland to repay 15m Euro over loans protection

This broke earlier in the week. Bank Of Ireland must repay 15m Euro over loans protection.
If you had a loan with them, got out payment protection, but payed off the loan early you may be owed money. Ring them at 1800 88 28 28 and you might get a letter from them in May with a cheque!
‘Course, this is just the tip of the iceberg according to some consumer groups.
Hehe.. Both articles have adverts from AIB Car Loans…
