He turns 16 today, there is beer and the sun is out. Plus, there are still 20 days left until my time with the world's largest boy scout group (widely known as the Swiss Army) starts.

The guitarist in my band is with the Army-dienst this week. He keeps sending me pictures of fat Swiss kids cooking bratwurst on the bonnets of their tanks...
I too dabbled in pacifism once.

Finally, a good use for tanks! yeah, it's getting close to lunchtime.

Finally, someone who will be able soon to answer a question I've had for years - Is there an official Swiss Army Fork?
Please get back to me with the answer once you're inside.

I went to the shop at lunch time to get dinner; everything in stock and a successful 20 minute round trip. Got home and found a rather nice Szekszárdi that will go well with anything. The girls are home, neither has homework and the sun is shining. A trip to the Beer and Cola Emporium beckons.

Went to the shops at lunchtime: had to wait a while after an accident (2 * ambo, 4 * police, but otherwise not serious) - looks like someone turned left without looking and collected another car.
Tesco: needed one item, Tesco own product. All tills out of order, just the "fast lane" self scanners working. So everybody is trying to get through six self serve tills with a trolley full of rubbish...
Get home: back to coding. Power goes out. Lose some work, but not too much. Power comes back...and my NAS is red lighted. The power fail has spiked one of the HDDs by the looks of it and it failed. Joy. Now I have to buy a new drive, and an external drive big enough to hold everything on the NAS, copy it all off, replace the duff 'un and copy everything back. 
At least it's RAID and I don't lose any data

Gulp.
Hadn't thought of that...

Re. the NAS, is that necessary? On mine, you just pull the knackered disc out and put a new one and it will rebuild it all without doing anything.

That's a good question - a detailed check in the manual says: nothing about it...
I just emailed the manufacturer to ask before I spotted your comment.
I wouldn't hurt to get a 4TB USB3 to back it up onto - an extra backup of my backup backups if you like!

It depends on the RAID configuration. I know RAID 5 can reconstruct from the loss of a single drive, as I've done that with our external backup (4 1TB drives in a RAID 5 config, giving about 2.5TB usable space).
