Honour Your Flow has arrived!

by ChristinePlush on Mon Feb 01, 2010 1:26 pm
[size=85]I'm very excited, because our first order from Honour Your Flow has arrived! For those not in the know, Honour Your Flow is a range of reusable sanitary towels (AKA CSP on here I believe - cloth sanitary pads), they're made in the UK by another CNT member and are really good quality, I only wish I could sew like that, but there you go. My sewing machine is redundant and covered in mould after a leaking radiator incident. Ho hum.

Enabling Hibernation in Ubuntu 12.04 on a Lenovo T400

Code: Select all
sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla

Play dough.

by muttley on Tue Aug 18, 2009 7:42 am
I should have got photos. My first (and last) attempt at making play dough for the kids was a disaster!

2 cups flour
2 cups water
1 cup salt
mix. mix. mix. mix.

Easy right? wroooooooong! The resultant mess is now in my food bin awaiting the recycling men on Thursday! :cry: AND I added some vanilla essence for a yummy smell. OOps. I am sucking up the cost of buying the stuff...
