    What did you cook today?

    It was a store bought unsmoked gammon joint - boiled with bayleaf and peppercorns to reduce the salt content, then dried, skin/fat sliced, oiled and salted, cooked at 220*c for 50 mins. Boiling it first stops it drying out in the oven, too.

    What did you cook today?

    Lenovo Thinkpad E495 - E-Waste Rescue!

    As most of you probably know, I work for an MSP. We throw out an insane number of IT gear, quite a lot of it not even 5 years old. To this end, I rescue a lot of the stuff that tends to try and get stuffed into the e-waste bins. The cosmetic condition was...OK. A few scuffs, but not too bad...

    Mac Pro 6,1 — no signs of life after replacing I/O board
