The ever-so-familiar fixmbr doesn't work with Windows7 and probably not with Vista either.

What you want is:

bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr

Recover your Windows 7 partition when multi-booting goes wrong!

Got 47/50 for the multiple choice part and 57/75 for the hazard perception part! Pass marks are 43/50 and 44/75 respectively.

I studied for maybe 2hours for the hazard perception test and around 4hours for the multiple choice. Bearing in mind I took a similar multiple choice test when I was 16 for my 50cc bike license. Quite pleased! :)

I am going for my theory car driving test tomorrow morning (in 6 hours). Going to stay up revising. Also need to find out where the test centre actually is...

I've started reading through Accelerated C# 2010. Brushing up on CLR and IL code theory which will hopefully help me become a better OO programmer.

I finished "in the money" in yesterdays UK Freeroll on PokerStars. Finished around 500-600th place and won about $1.50! Yeah! Then proceaded to loose a $1.15 Double or Nothing SitnGo!

PokerStars is doing this freeroll and another £250 one at 21.30 every day until March'ish time so if you have a PokerStars account and live in the UK you are missing out by not playing in it.
