Insufficient System Resources Exist to Complete the API … (or why I can’t hibernate my laptop with 2Gb of Ram)

I love stuff.  I love stuff that you can expand on.  Computers are expandable.

I don’t love when you get side effects from that expansion (cmon, who does?)

So I didn’t like when my laptop’s 2Gb upgrade resulted in occasional neutering of the Windows Hibernate functionality.  The attached microsoft page will provide a patch which will fix the problem.

Just a spoon full of sugar….

… or how to stay awake

Walking through the city with a 4 pack of ‘V’ ‘energy drinks’, I had a few people comment on how awake I’d require to be. ‘You have to be pretty tired to get through all those in one sitting?’ (you’d have to be pretty tired of hearing that joke a few too many times)

Recipe for a real short black?

One courier I was talking to at the traffic lights told me about some bus drivers he knew that would take a spoon of coffee and mix it in half a glass of coke and then skull it. In about 5 or 6 mins, after apparently nothing, the drink would kick in and pack quite a punch, keeping the drivers awake and bringing back some alertness.

I’ll play and let you know… 🙂
