Here’s a quick tip that will allow you to see a a mounted USB drive or CD/DVD from the terminal in Mac OS X Snow Leopard (though this probably works in all versions of OS X)… cd /Volumes This is the location of all mounted drives, including CDs, DVDs, USB Hard Disks, Flash Drives and even Mobile Me’s iDisk – they should all be available as folders below “/Volumes”.
It’s clearly Food Day on thirtyfootscrew.com, having breakfasted at Fuzzy’s Grub and having lunched in a Cafe Nero I found myself in need of dinner roundabouts Piccadili Circus. Being Tourist Town I wasn’t too otimistic about finding much interesting but in the end I found a red double decker bus converted into a vegan restaurant! In the heart of Soho, not far from the Trocadero and right next to the famous Zilli Fish th place stands out like a sore thumb but makes a welcome break from the usual shops and restaurants. Vegan Routes offers both take away and eat-in options though I’d recommend the latter sincethe staff are genuine and friendly and you get to soak up the Soho atmosphere watching people passing by (often with quizzical expressions). Food-wise I had a green tea, a chickpea stew and a smoothies to finish and they were all excellent, I shall definitely return!
This morning I had breakfast from what I believe is the best breakfast joint in the city of London – Fuzzy’s Grub. My favourite is a fried egg sandwich, on toasted white bread, buttered, with ketchup, made with two medium-cooked eggs. All the breakfasts are classic British fare, served very quickly and capably by friendly staff. The only downside is that it’s take-away only but most people are taking their brekkie onto the office anyway. From what I gather, there are a few if them dotted around but the one I frequent is just down the road from Bank Tube at 56-57 Cornhill, EC3V 3PD. Note: I’m posting from the iPhone now but I’ll stick a map up later. |
