Hipster Chicks and Shitty Japaneese Eateries

Wed, 1 Feb 2012 14:39:18 EST

1st never eat at this place SHOUBU good lord, i asked for a vegy box, that took like 10 minutes to make, i got no cutlery, and the thing tasted like shit! 4 pieces of tempura pumpkin, handful of rice, 1cm of pickles, some lettuce drenched in some disgusting brown sauce that made me gag, and some cabbage drenched in a white disgusting souse! all this for $15....hell no!!!never again!
Then I went to Vanbar again, hopefully for the last time, to pick up a box of fixer...Im overhearing this hipster chick next to me...
Hipster Chick: hi.....so..like...i have this film...its like black and white and like its ISO 400, but i shot it at 160 ISO on my minolta slr...
Vanbar Clerk: ok....
Hipster Chick: SO can you please like pushpull it or something
Vanbar Clerk, blinks a few times, takes the film canister and walks away....

Why in the hell would you want to PULL down a 400 ISO roll to 160? Best part...it was C-41 BW! LORDY LORDY LORD, when will these deuch bags learn!

I dont want to make the document public, so it wont be downloadable for you(suck it).

The Lion King

Thu, 6 Oct 2011 11:0:37 EST

How Disney Shoved Monarchy & Hypocrisy down kids Throats

Went to the Astor a few days ago and watched The Lion King again. I wanted to see it because I had not seen it since I was like 12 or 13. With most movie that I saw as a child, I can instantly see what I liked about the films as a child, I also start to see some overtones that I would not have noticed if I was a child. Things put in for adults, by the writers I guess. Like in Shrek, where you see the bad guys tower and it looks like a penis, kids are not going to understand that...but I found it funny! So why am i writing about the Lion King?
1. This Circle of life is the Lions rationalization of brutality and murder. We eat the antelope, but when we die, we become the grass and the antelope eat the grass. Funny how the ones in power find it necessary to rationalize the brutality of the whole population, make it sound nice and neat..What if someone wants to eat the Lion? What then, should you let yourself be eaten because its all in the circle of life?
2. The Singing....WHY??? WHY???????????????????????
3. The juxstaposition of the free living jungle world versus the lions kingdom. In the Jungle world, where Pumba and the other one....rescue Simba from the desert, they do not kill other animals....they eat insects(yes they are animals...but on the scales, they do not talk and therefore can be considered as insects) they eat grains, berries, fruit and vegies! NO MEAT. i see some strange conspiracy there that shows to children that the real world, is all about murder, eating meat, responsibility is something you HAVE to undertake when you grow up... Beeing vegetarian means your a dirty smelly hippy, who is selfish and lives for yourself.
4. Scar...the begging of Americas pointing finger at the Muslim world. Notice how in several shots where Scar is giving his trademark speeches, his shots always end with the crescent moon on the back of a black sky with only a few stars! CAMON PEOPLE your beeing brainwashed!
5. Dry season = bad leadership! In the second half of the film, Simba returns to his kingdom to find it ravaged by drought, no greenery anywhere, bones everywhere, looks like a nuclear winter. I cant really see how Scars bad leadership could have effected the drought in that area? Sure he allowed the hyenas to hunt more and more animals, therefore depleting the food supply, but how does that cause the drought? What would Mufasa have done? made the elephants cart water into the area form the surrounding planes, therefore creating a water war between the jungle near by and the kingdom of the lions? what hogwash! How convenient that the area suddenly goes all lush green after Simbas rule begins! Had nothing to do with the heavy rain after the heavy fire. The fire having put up heaps of soot into the hot moist air, which in tern caused it to rain, which in tern started everything off again!
This movie Sucked ass. The animation was amazing in certain bits, especialy for a movie made in 1994, the music was great in some bits, specialy the chorus for circle of life which had like 50 singers. But the story is garbage! pure garbage, feeding the rule of monarchist born into power. You are what you are born Kiddies, do not try to be better, and when your King wants to consume you, give yourself to him to be eaten, because its the circle of life!

Why oh why was this shit invented! its worse than crunk! At least Crunk core had some funny dancing you could laugh at. 2. Do not buy bread from Lauraunt bakeries, its also of poor quality considering its ridiculous price! $6 for a loaf of bread that goes off the next day! Another another note, please enjoy this lovely picture taken from the 1960s, here Tracy and Richard watch 'Keyboard Cat' on the classic machine....so many buttons....(Picture credits from www.blogoto.com)

Reason 6 - they just dont get it

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 15:12:58 EST

I love Reason, its a very granular Software Synthesiser application. You can do almost anything in it. By its nature it is TLDR, and thats what I like about it! I had used Reason 4 for a while and tried out reason 5...to see no major improvements! Now I see Reason 6 is about to come out...and all they did was add 1 echo effect, 1 filter effect and 1 distortion effect....all effects taht can already be made in the normal TLDR way via manual instrumentation... WHAT THE FUCK! If this is the way they are going, Ableton will take over this type of software industry VERY quickly...if it hasnt already!

HP Drive Bays

Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:20:54 EST

I recently ordered 3 very large servers for my company. I run VMWare ESX on most of our servers, and anted to do the same here. I also wanted the system drives, where VMWare sits, to be SSD and to be in RAID! Now HP has SSD drives, branded by and tested by HP, they are $2500 EACH for 128Gb..HELL NO! So i got some high end Kingston Drives for around $300 a piece, 128GB SATA2, 2.5Inch. The most obvious problem with most Servers is that they have HOT-Swap drive bays with specially branded HDD holders. My reseller could not get them from HP....dont know why, but I assume its so people buy HP drives instead of placing cheaper drives into their servers. I ended up having to purchase a bunch of Drive Bays from EBay, they were $33.95 and are IDENTICAL to the HP bays. Down to the colour and pattern of the steel shielding on the base! Check out the Picture, the top one is the SSD, the bottom is a spare SAS I had to make sure it fit ok!

Beta Cluster Complete

Tue, 10 May 2011 16:29:43 EST

That whole week I spent working on my Clustopium project back at uni (not actually doing my uni work) finally paid off! I can safely call this V1Beta. Full web interface complete, supports dynamic nodes, storage systems, users and jobs! Everything is modular! Want to expand the system? Easy. Grab a computer, Install linux+MPICH2, add 2 entries to the /etc/hosts file, and add the machines name and ip into the web interface! BAM! wana remove a machine, click remove!BAM! This system is saving my company in excess of $450 per machine...NO MORE WINDOWS LICENSES!

The Linux Cluster is getting closer to fruition

Sun, 8 May 2011 23:51:50 EST

I have almost completed the web interface to control the server node and the slave nodes. I have ironed out the scripts to run jobs via MPICH2 and have successfully ran a test job! Thats a milestone, it was way harder to get the linux version of mpd to run than the windows version. Next on the agenda is integrating the scripts to run via the web interface, and then running simultaneous jobs to see if it all works! Hopefully i will have the whole system up and running by Tuesday, so that i can roll it out to the machines which arrive later this week!

Windows Licensing and Cluster Applications

Thu, 5 May 2011 23:59:44 EST

I run a small cluster at work for a very specific kind of vector simulation. We currently have 48 CPU Cores and will soon have 80 all up! My Problem with expansion is fucking Windows Licence keys. The Cluster runs in Windows so the people who run the scripts still know what to do....Just spent 2 hours typing up a tiny little PHP snippet that could control process handling, output and termination via a browser...that means, fuck you windows, LINUX cluster with 80 cores here i come!

32GB MicroSD - Faulting fucking thing

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 13:32:49 EST

Last month i got my ebook reader in the mail from ebay, and it had a sweet little bonus 32gb MicroSD card inside, which i quickly jammed into my Nexus 1! Ever since i have notice strange shit on my phone. Its crashes more, photos disappear, i put music on it via USB and when its mounted the music is not there anymore! WTF??? Dont tell me im not thorough in my testing of this thing....I thought it may be one of them, fake cards...so i ran some tests:
1. Full format in windows...PASSED!
2. Quick format using a special SDHC format utility from the SDHC society...PASSED! 3. Currently running a hardware write and read test on the card.....will take 2 hours to test!

Damn shitty design

Fri, 15 Apr 2011 11:47:54 EST

In my efforts to incorporate my BT receiver into my Bikes Stereo Amplifier system, i have come into an issue. The 7805 Voltage regulator works like a charm, i get a nice 5v DC output from my bikes 12V input, the BT unit charges an dthe Amp works. However, as soon as i turn on the BT unit the whole system fails and reboots(well, you know physical reboots from a power spike) after some troubleshooting i have realized that the GND of the audio connection, is basically shared between both devices because they are both being powered by the same power source and share a GND as in this picture! My only alternative now is to just get a USB cable splitter and plug that into the BT charger unit. My Bike has 2 power systems a 12V directly from the bike and a 5V via a small USB car Charger mounted in the bike(DIY style) i use the USB 5V to charge my GPS unit, but have used a USB hub in the past to charge many other things at the same time! Looks like ill have to either connect a second USB charger or split of this one! How fucking annoying

Awake to a noise

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 10:13:7 EST

Last night I awoke to a strange noise..a noise that made my blood curdle... The noise of the power supply cooling fan grinding against its ages heated non existent gears. Last night I decided to repair the power supply and not replace it... Recycling! I pulled it apart, pulled out the broken fan, inserted a replacement fan (that was pulled out of another power supply that was of no use to me) and bobs your uncle! The machine is not nice and silent, cool and breezy!

A good book recomendation

Tue, 5 Apr 2011 10:49:32 EST

For me its simple. There are a few things that constitute a great story, film, book, animation, game etc... Good plots are simple for my taste. Here is the Formula(order not important):
1.Nazis
2.Aliens or UFOs
3.Science fiction or fantasy of some kind
Basically any kind of science fiction or fantasy with Nazis in the plot makes it a great plot! Just think about Wolfenstein, Indiana Jones, both the last crusade and raiders of the lost ark, the last Hellboy movie, and now a book I just finished reading by John Wyndham called Plan for Chaos. It was supposable written as a segway or prequel for Day of the triffids (the clues and joiners in Plan for Chaos are really small and minor, you would really have to have read Day of the Triffids a few times to pick them up. To sum it up, it has human cloning, the Nazis megalomaniac attitude to taking over the world, although in this story it was less about the jew killing and all, and more about the strengthening of the Nordic blood...(same thing but milder). There are flying saucers, amazing machines etc...Great read, i highly recommend it

eBook issue resolved!

Fri, 1 Apr 2011 11:35:12 EST

The friendly people at both kobobooks.com and adobe.com have resolved my DRM issues... I still thinks its pretty retarded though. The process of getting a book onto your device i pretty complicated, The Amazon kindle has a sweet delivery system in comparison to these 3rd party ebook readers. This is obviously why the kindle will ultimately WIN, with tiger blood, the ebook war. The proccess i had to go though....
1. Get an Adobe ID from adobe.com
2. Register my ereader with the adobe service using the above iD
3. Download books via kobobooks.com
Dont know the procedure for other devices..If i get used to reading books on this thing I think ill do some research into the perl drm remove script which failed the few time si looked at it

Cloud Cumputing

Fri, 18 Feb 2011 10:29:2 EST

I introduce to you the new buzz word for IT Sales Guys and Girls...THE CLOUD! It can do anything you want, it will reduce costs, reduce your power consumption, reduce maintenance spending, set your IT team free of those boring pesky IT tasks, bring your family closer together, get you beers when you are thirsty, save your children from a burning fire etc.... I have heard it all, but its becoming more and more prevalent now. Every Tom, Dick and Prahbu is now talking about The Cloud as if its some wonder Saviour of IT, the next big thing.. Whilst watching a recent tele-panel chat with a few guys from IBM, Microsoft etc... it became obvious to me that corporations are going to start pushing this thing to mainstream. The fact is, cloud computing has been a very low level IT thing for a long time. Outsourcing your IT infrastructure is complicated and demanding and only the IT department knew about it, handled it....no one wanted to know HOW the thing works they just wanted their morning LOLS to come in on their emails. The problem, is high level execs with no IT skills shouting things like 'THE CLOUD IS FOR US'... Its becoming another popularity contest like face book adaptation. So what is The CLOUD? To put it in a more technical term, its Outsourced Virtual Servers...I have my own cloud within my company, but no one calls it that..yet! The talk i watched was an hour long and in no stage was anything technical mentioned, just bullshit sales jargon! How about data location, security, ownership, physical control, our countries shitty internet system, our money grabbing telco providers who are thwarting any adaptation of cloud systems for small and medium business. Ill give you an example...A dual core 2ghz server, with 4gb ram and 100Gb Hdd costs, get this $400 per month...SO that means you dont pay for the power, you dont look after backups, you never have to worry about repairing it.. physically speaking....So over the life of a server with those kind of specs...lets say 3 years as this is the normal warranty period for Corporate servers....you will spend(for a physical server that costs $4k):

	Cloud Server	Physical Server
Monthly Cost	$400	$111
1 Year Cost	$4,800	1,333
3 Year Cost	$14,400	$4000

Not to mention the FAT internet connection you need to maintain your network connected to this server and the associated maintenance fees you will pay to the telco for this connection...WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE! Cloud computing is not for the Small OR Medium business market, stop pushing it on them, because its completely useless to them. How can you justify spending $14000 over 4 years for the tech support associated with a server....its ridiculous!

Ahahhahahaha PEW PEW!

Here is something i drew with my dell mins touch screen, cause i was bored

Its Friday

Fri, 11 Feb 2011 11:51:4 EST

I have been pretty clack lately, mostly because i have been using the same bathroom at work, and posting the same picture over and over again is pretty boring. So here is one i drew today! it did not take long, its boring and its in the style of blob around blob. I like to call this my pen style. Allot of drawing i have in my books have this style of, draw a blob, then draw more blobs surrounding the 1st one that kinda fit in together.....imaginative i know.

Virtual System Experiment - Windows Server 2008

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 15:8:54 EST

I have been thinking about a migration for the company i work at for a while now. We use Server 2003, even thinking about an actual server to server migration makes my skin crawl...seeing as i have some spare time i thought i would run some tests, into how long this sort of this would take and what tick boxes i would have to tick..etc...My 1st issue was the virtual networking. IPCOP did not like my shitty network configuration, as pictured...its actually not a good configuration but a way for me to visually segregate the system. Had to use PFSENSE, a way more powerful virtual firewall appliance. Its way more TLDR than IPCOP but it has real firewall rules, and a proper routing interface that is not just based on NAT. Having set up the virtual network i began to troubleshoot the fucker..turns out i had to create static routes to each network, set up specific firewall rules....anyway 1 day later i got to actual installing server 2008, which is not as painful as 2003 used to be. I now have a fully working virtual network and infrastructure with one DC, 2 child servers, and Im currently building the exchange server to test the whole dirty mailbox migration move. Software like VirtualBox and VMWare Server make this job really smooth...VirtualBox more so than VMware Server, which has some performance issues which i spoke about a while back, for this kind of thing).

I got 2Gb of RAM

Tue, 8 Feb 2011 11:1:46 EST

I am a known and registered hoarder if things. I cant help myself. Here i have something really cool, a robotic tape library with a semi faulty taoe unit. Who am i kidding its definitely faulty. I have been testing this thing for a solud week and everything i try ends up with the same results. Now Repairing this thing could cost allot, i dont actualy need it in the company bwcayse its SCSI. Im really just trying to get it working to sell it on ebay and recoup the cash fir the company. But i just know some fucker will end up buying this for $100 and will fixit with 1 simple command, and it makes me upset. So ill continue testing it untill im certain its fucked

I remember the word form the Matrix....The architect keeps saying, apropos this and apropos that...It kind of made sence but i did not really understand what he word meant...I looked it up today becasue i saw some fucktard post a blog response on another site saying something like 'your reference was apropos'...According to the internets it means 'At an appropriate time, incidental on the way, appropriate and pertinent(also a word i do not like), with reference to...' oh man i do not like the word and i do not like the people that use it. I have NEVER heard anyone say this in person....only in the Matrix and on the internets. I dont like this word very much.

Testing One 2

Tue, 18 Jan 2011 11:29:34 EST

Im continuing testing of ESX 4.1 today.. Ran into some interesting limitations and decided to do things the good old fashioned way via terminal. Yesterdays marathon 5 hour troubleshoot was a pain, and in the mids of the 30 or 40 times i tried to install and configure es on the RAID arrays i set up, one of the install attempts must have left some crap on one of the raid disks....I removed this with fdisk and rebooted! Hehe..thats pretty much the end of that test server. Looks like i removed the wrong partition. SO now im reinstalling it all again from scratch!

5 Hours troubleshooting ESX Update

Mon, 17 Jan 2011 16:37:18 EST

5 Fucking hours of testing. So glad i did the testing stage before i rolled out. For 5 hours i could not install this fucker onto anything.... worked out from a blog entry on some german site that i had to turn of some virtual io subsystem in the bios...i so dislike linux...for all the shit windows gets, at least when something goes wrong i can work it out..with linux its like...baaaaah i got a boobo im running away into the void, goodbye and please restart me or i will keep crying waaaa waaa...fucking linux

This is strange

With his mightly lazer beam, DHCP is nothing to him! Finding out that the local DHCP server handed out the IP address of a ISCSI deviec to a laptop, Lazer Bagel dispensed swift lazer justice on the DHCP server by creating a much needed reservation based on the ISCSI MAC address....which should have already been there! Lazer Bagle is upset that he did not think of this before hand, but is victorious non the less!

After a few stalled days, things are moving again. I mean that both Literally and metaphorically.

Im finally doing some proper system tests, faulting shit on purpose and then seeing how long it would take to fix them and what kind of damage is done etc...

LSI SAS Software RAID

Mon, 18 Oct 2010 13:3:8 EST

After about 3 hours of troubleshooting i have worked out that my DR severs, all 4 of them have these weird ass LSI SAS controllers that only do software RAID. This does not really bother me, most systems i use will support software RAID and since they are not production servers, why not? Well i will tell you why not. VMWare is why not. This fucking shit, does not support software RAID on this specific LSI SAS adapter....And since i need to do realistic DR scenarios, i have to install and use vmware. What a pain! I have already built a fully funcional DR system using Windows Server 2008, WMware Server and Openfiler. Backed it all up as an image just in case, and am now installed esxi4 onto 1 disk on this DR server. Lets see if today is productive!?

Streamlining the Darkroom Process

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 20:6:32 EST

Im on my 5th Darkroom, without tooting my own horn, im very good at the set up and streamlining. The one thing that takes a lot of time is the initial set up. My room is a flexible room. Its a room whose purpose i decide depending on my current mood and preference. So the darkroom gear, whilst it never leaves the room, is always half dismantled. Today i learned something new!

CF Card Speeds

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 18:3:48 EST

Here are some doobious results. I tested all my CF cards for Read and Write speeds and got some really freaky stats! I am goign to get another USB2 CF adapter and try it again, because these make no sense to me at all!

Brand	Capacity	Speed	Write	Read
IDE HDD	260GB	NA	12MB.ps	24MB.ps
Kingston	16GB	133-X	2.7MB.ps	5.8MB.ps
Lexar	4GB	300-X	3.2MB.ps	5.9MB.ps
Sandisk	1GB	Ultra 2	12.4MB.ps	24MB.ps
Amicroe	4GB	300X	2.7MB.ps	5.8MB.ps

I gots me lotsa memory cards

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 13:16:29 EST

Seeing as im leaving this job, i thought i would take advantage of our rese= ller status. Amicroe is one of our hardware stockists, we get ram and anyth= ing memory CHEAP. I got 5 of these 4GB CF Cards for $21.50 each. The cards = are 300x, thats 45MB per second r/w speeds. Faster then my 20D Can handle a= nyway

Thats not a desk!

Not only am I starting a new Job in 2 weeks...but i have already been promoted..before i even set foot inside the office! This is good and bad!

Final Test

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 17:47:10 EST

The final test shows around 40mbytes per second write speed and 37Mbytes read speed, not fantastic considering. I set up a nother server using RAID-5 with 3 drives and Windows 7 Enterprise with 1 Gigabit NIC, and got 70-80Mbytes!

OpenFiler - Beta speed tests

Mon, 20 Sep 2010 15:10:47 EST

After some major tweaking, i have completed my NAS build as suggested by Mr. A and Mr. G. Im using the latest build of OpenFiler on a Pentium 4 3ghz(dual thread) server. 3Gb Ram, configured with 2 x 1Tb SATA HDDs set up via a Software RAID-1(mirror). I have 2 x 1Gb NICs in the server, and have bonded the NICs to have a 2Gb link via OpenFiler. So far so good. Im getting good read and write speeds from backups but i cant really tell the numbers until now. I got excited and ran these 2 tests...but i then realized i was backing shit up from another PC and the results are probably slower then anticipated.Here are my results:

The results on the left are from a PC on the LAN, with a Gigabit NIC running XP Pro. The Results on the right are from my netbook that has a wifi-N card, XP-Home. Im using this software http://download.cnet.com/LAN-Speed-Test/3000-2085_4-10908738.html for the tests. Im not impressed yet, but i will do another test when the backup finishes.
Mr. A and Mr. G, send in your results!

Virtualization DR

Fri, 10 Sep 2010 13:8:55 EST

So having left my job, i thought i would leave my boss with something he could use in the future for all of his clients. I am currently testing a proper, full on, double rainbow sized Disaster Recovery solution using VSXI. Currently have an HP server with an Intel Xeon Quad Core(2 Threads per core), thats a 8 CORES!!! VSXI itself is running on a 500gb SATA disk and the virtual DR machines are being restore onto a Striped 2Tb SATA Raid. Im restoring from an external USB disk...my 1st note is that its very slow to restore from the usb disk, its going at like 2mb per second...A normal restore goes at around 20-40mb per second... Ill have to work this shit out.

Im a finished drinking ma tea

23 Days to go

Wed, 8 Sep 2010 14:51:3 EST

I have that many days at my current job. This whole month feels unreal to me. I am not at all stressed about work, because i can not get fired....I can pretty much do everything the same way i usually do, but with 0 thought of consequences. That would usually make one act rather stupidly and irresponsibly, but i am good at what i do and rarely if ever do i fuck up...But hey no ones perfect, so if i have to be imperfect for 1 out of 100 times, i like to make it a fail of epic proportions. Lets hope i dont do anything like that any time soon.

DRM and how it PISSES ME OFF!

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 20:19:41 EST

Im going to rant:
1. Saw this cool video put together by RATATATMUSIC, watch it here. Awesome video, even more awesome track. Now my 1st impression was, wow no drm here, a band that doesnt care about its track being used in a video(this video is by them though but i saw heaps on you tube.)
2. Whats good here is that I now go, awesome track lets buy it! Now i do not and will not use I-fag-tunes. I use Beatport, which is totally DRM free, has easy payment and has tracks that i like. So i search for the track there, find it and want to click PURCHASE...BUT NOOOOO its RESTRICTED...FFFFFFuuuuuu....
3. What am i supposed to do then! Go and buy a CD, haha where am i gona find that shit in Melbourne! looks like im gona have ti download a pirated copy...

See what you DRM fucktards did there! Because you did not allow Beatport to sell me your track, because Im in Austarlia, you have just lost my $20!FUCK YOU!

In Soviet Russia...

Sun, 15 Aug 2010 19:1:21 EST

Clothes dryer requires a 3 year degree in physics to operate. Thats why i have my headphones on, plugged into the main drive oscillator, waiting for the right frequency to pop in as i throw down my 1 Rubble coin. What comes next is a constant check in check out of two FM pairs that need to be controlled in order to get the best magnitude for drying, and the best value for your Ruble. The ejection procedure should be a piece of cake afterwards, however if you get hot, medium, cool sequence incorrectly, you may open a wormhole to another dimension thereby obliterating every sock from every 3rd sock pair.

Well then

Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:59:46 EST

It had been a rather slow week. A busy week in terms of the amount of workload i have on. A boring week in terms of personal life however. Have been very much flat in my creative vibes for the last few weeks. Had planned to go Skiing next weekend but forgot about a friends birthday, so i had to bail on that. Work is getting be down more than ever. We have a new guy thats working 2 days a week for our company, i cant work out the mind the company owner had when he was hired. The guy is very inexperienced and knows very little about this work..Its not helping me at all, its really slowing me down. Training someone up is one thing but this was not the greatest move.
On the upside Im hearing that Zed has purchased his ticket and will be in auStralia sometime next month! Cant wait brew.

Tue, 6 Jul 2010 18:50:49 EST

You, yes YOU! You like stuff? Great, go to http://www.etsy.com/shop/milkandcookies and buy some stuff!
Tali is a kick ass awesome artist, shes short, for a human, but she makes really awesome animations and PRINTS!!! Thats an example of one of her works in the thumbnail. If I had Talis little pinky finger worth of talent, she would be very mad with me for copping off her pinky... So before she gets any madder, buy one of her prints....Or 2!

Animating Backdrops

Tue, 22 Jun 2010 14:27:58 EST

I watched Jungle Book a few nights ago for the first time in years. One thing that really grabs my attention is the way Disney animators used multi layer glass plates to animate motion, depth and movement of charectors. I decided to jump in and give it a try. Instead of plasticine, the backdrops on the currently in production Mr. Yellow in Space will be plate animated...This is one slide of many

Winter Sound System 2010

Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:46:35 EST

I have 2 reviews: If I had paid for my ticket: OMG I WANT MY DAMN MONEY BACK YOU DIRTY DIRTY SCUM BAGS
Having free tickets: 3 Good sets. Ellen Allien was great, a very progressive and creative set-10/10. Seth Troxler was awesome, he messed up a few times but thats cool, I really enjoyed his time. Tigas show was FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE. We walked into the room with lasers flying all over the place, it was like a battle royal with Tigas - Mind Dimension playing in the background. Thats a 6 minutes, full color laser rampage!!!EPIC. His set was lame, almost pre-recorded. His visuals were very creative, he had a big stitched screen with books moving across it, i really like it.
A side Note: Proxy...WTF was thatr shit? And Marcus Shultz, I just don't get the attraction. The Muzzas love him though...oh lord the muzzas..PUT YOUR SHIRTS BACK ON AND STOP TAKING STEROIDS.

Making Bread

Sun, 30 May 2010 18:13:58 EST

Im attempting to make my own sourdough bread this week. I started with a mix of 1 cup flour and 1 cup warm watter in a big glass jar. It should take about 4 days to brew. Every day i have to take out 1/2 of the mixture and add a further mix of 1/2 cup of warm water and 1/2 cup of flour. After 3 to 4 days it starts to froth. You then refrigirate it and its ready to use in the dough mixture when the bead is actualy made.

Progress on the Picture side

Sat, 29 May 2010 15:0:26 EST

I have been working on some back end functions for this blog. They are all in BETA now, need to iron out some things. But i have been progressively making the pinnacle of what i want. Click on the picture on the left to load it big. In a previous post i talked about the Image Dumper that dumps every picture in my blog to the screen. The next step goes a bit further. It sorts each picture by colors and dumps them. This one is sorted Dark to Light. Bear in mind the process i use is not truly a color sort. Its an average of RGB values.

Who wants to waste some time?

Fri, 28 May 2010 11:45:58 EST

He is a beta of the picture page Im working on. You can try it yourself HERE

Its limited to 50 images at the moment, so don't try to be a hero and load more than that!

AJAX = WIN

Thu, 27 May 2010 22:30:6 EST

First things first: Big thanks to Dan, Rowan and Jem for putting me on the right track. Im creating some side projects that run alongside this blog. One of the ideas is part of an earlier page I did that dumps every single picture from every blog entry onto 1 page. To fine tune what i wanted to do, however, i needed to use AJAX. So cash this shit is! Anyway click on the picture to the left, its the 1st stage of my project. Every picture on the blog dumped into a grid of 15x15px pictures. I have a page that generates that picture in real time but its only really useful if your on the local network. The page would take about 2 hours to load up in full in in current state over the net...which is why im not yet making it public....before you say it yes, this post is not in that picture!

Android 2.2

Wed, 26 May 2010 9:47:22 EST

A few notes on the latest upgrade to Android 2.2. The phone is just as fas in general interaction. However a few thing are outstanding. Flash works very smoothly. Even playing a youtube video directly from a page is great. The inbuilt browser now has its own inbuilt file browser which allows me to upload files via html get and post commands. This was a key anoyance in the previous release, and made me switch to opera. I have since removed opera. There is still a bug there, in that if i upload a file choosen via the astro file manager, it gets added in with a back slash. The eorkaround is using the gallery, ehich is fine. VNC is lihtning fast now, it was choppy at best, even on wifi in the previoua release. Have not tried the mail foldr move issue, as K9 mail is far beyter than the built in client

After fine tunning

Tue, 25 May 2010 16:38:42 EST

Open Sound Controll

Tue, 25 May 2010 10:8:28 EST

OSC is a newish standard that will one day replace MIDI. I have seen many live acts perform using OSC devices. Stephan Bodzin, was one who really blew me away both in how he intercated with the equipment and the amazingly futuristic looking controll system he used. A very simple one I checked out on my Nexus 1 was FingerPlayMIDI - you can get it here. I used this on my Nexus, with my own layout. Its awesome. Very good repsonse times. It connects via a small java based server app that runs on your desktop or laptop. The java app interefaces with a virtual MIDI driver, i used LoopB1, which you can get here. This then created a virtual MIDI device that Reason can pick up. Here is a small video of me controlling a Synth with my Nexus 1.

This is wrong

Mon, 24 May 2010 11:39:13 EST

Windows 7 on a Dell Mini 9

Mon, 17 May 2010 9:58:51 EST

I had a few hours to kill on Saturday and decided to try to install Windows 7(Pro) onto my Dell Mini 9 Netbook. FOr starters i have a 1.6ghz n270 Atom CPU, 2gb ram,a abgn wifi card and 16gb SSD. The few problem i ran into at the start were simply to do with how to install it without a CDROM. I rigged up an external USB to IDE drive to an old DVD drive and did it like that. I also ran a full image backup of my current XP configuration and backed that up. I had a feeling that there were going to be bugs. The install took about an hour all up, after which i had 5gb of free space left on my SSD. This was the 1st light that went of in my head. I disabled the page file, that gave me 2gb more, and un-installed all the crap that windows 7 pro comes with like windows mail, movie maker etc.. and installed the Telnet client(which is missing unless you specifically install it). With a blank slate pc, no software installed I had just over 7gb free. My next test was winamp...Worked fine, over the network and from the SSD, but i noticed a few minutes into a song i was playing that the sounds kept crackling as if the CPU could not keep up. After about 15 minutes of troubleshooting, driver updates and adjustments to registry... i gave up(light number 2). So i proceeded to install Thunderbird and then AVG....Holy crap, soon as i installed AVG and rebooted the Mini was pretty much useless. Strike 3....Wiped the SSD and put the XP image back on! My conclusion...Windows 7 is not for the Dell Mini 9. It may work better if you have a larger SSD, and definitely better on a newer netbook with a newer Atom CPU.

Mr Yellow is on Youtube

Tue, 4 May 2010 9:37:27 EST

They have not yet taken it down so watch it there because the quality is better. I suggest headphones as some of the sound effects are pretty funny and all 100% home made. The music was selected from 'The Darjeeling Limited' Soundtrack(Why YouTube will shortly remove the video r the sound). Thanks to Moon Moon for her creative advice. This took me about 5 days to put together over the last 3 weeks. I used plasticine, cardboard cut outs, little toy cars, wooden tongue depressors for the electrical poles and of coarse Blue-tac! This was hot using a Canon 20D.

Skyfire browser for Android

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 20:57:20 EST

I got all excited about the newly released Slyfire web browser for android. I downloaded it this morning to give it a good test run. How do i benchmark mobile browsers you may ask? Well i do 2 simle tests... 1. it must load my blog page as i see in in chrome. Skyfire passed with flying colours. It loads very quickly and its smooth. Zooming is an issue but its beta so no big deal. 2. i must be able to post a blog entry via my form...skyfire fails here. Kust like the standard browser that came eith my Nexys, Skyfite has no built in file browser..Opera mini is still king. Firefoxobile, which i tested a few days back does all this but its sluggish beta.

Fenec for Android

Thu, 29 Apr 2010 10:39:39 EST

Firefox has been kind of sort of released for the Android. Its a 10Mb App which is huge! Its Fat and Sluggish at the moment, but its the 1st release so hopefully it will run nice and quick. It has some nifty features, like a side bar on both sides on the screen which you can flick to the right and to the left. I cant work out how to zoom in and out on this things, there is definitely no multi touch support yet. It does load pages very quickly though, and it has a built in you tube flash player, that is awesome!! It has its own built in plugins which is great and the full analli retentive control everyone has come to admire from Firefox. Would be awesome if they develop this to a full fledged application. The Add-killer plugin is one i cant wait for, as i cant modify the internal host file on the phone unless i root it

New tek in old tek

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 22:40:25 EST

Here is a hack thats sure to make a few people cringe. Last week a client of mine was throwing out heaps of old computer gear. Part of the trash were 2 old back up tapes. They looked way to cool for the bin, so i kept them. After a short chat to mr. s about them, we both thought that it would be a great idea to put the tape itself through a reel reel player. Going on the tgeory that these backup tapes are A. Newer technology and B. meant for higher resolition recording. Seeing as i have a 1st rate reel to reel recorder, I did it. And you know what mr.s u were on the ball about it. I made some recordings on both the new tape and on some old tape but i couls only marginaly hear the difderence. My next experiment, blew me away, however. I spliced the old tape and new tape togethere with no gap and proceeded to record myseld howling into the mic. On playback, soon as the read head went from old tape to new, the audio quality was like apples and oranges. The old tape however has a good thick bass response, but too much high end noise. The new tape works amazingly well, with no high end noise, but slightly less than impressive bass response. Time to chuck out the ols tape and respool the reels with 90s backup tape.

I call this one Ultracine, i think ill name the track that when its finished. This isnt so amazing, it was more an exercise on audio synchronization. My aim was to synchronize the visual elements with the audio, which i think i have done ok. Let me know what you think...ps:use headhones, the audio is really intricate

The seeds of recent boredom

Mon, 12 Apr 2010 14:6:58 EST

In the last week, the seeds of my boredom have grown some really cool ideas. My clay-mation tests worked so much better than I intended that I think Im going to make a proper long flick with this technique. I had some really good ideas for the backing audio also. I tend to think that the audio in a film is, more often, more important than the visual aspect. Id like to make a small music video with some cool clay shapes and models. The music will be pretty simple electronic shit that i can put together in Reason, and i would like to sync up the visuals to the audio. Even if the quality of the animation itself is shit, the fact that its syncd up to the audio should make it awesome. So any one want leave some ideas for clay-mation scenes? Models? etc..

Chilly today

A bug in Opera Mini for Android?

Fri, 9 Apr 2010 14:23:27 EST

Im not 100% sure but i think i have fuond a bug iether in my coding or in Opera Mini for Android. It seems that if i POST some data, aprticularly a JPG file allong with some text taht has any kind of symbols, eg Full Stop, coma, dollar signs etc... The JPG is corrupted and fails the validation on my server. Thsi is only a BUG if Opera Mini operates via HTTP. If it operates via SOCKS it works fine. So i can start bloggin from the toilets again!

Beatport on the Nexus

Thu, 8 Apr 2010 23:2:2 EST

When I buy music online, I use Beatport. I randomly checked out if their interface works on the Nexus, it does NOT, but surprisingly, they have a mobile site which is VERY good. You can preview tracks and listen to samples, and its very smooth!!

Russian Board Games

Thu, 8 Apr 2010 10:37:18 EST

In Soviet Russia, board game plays you! Check out this link - http://babs71.livejournal.com/355037.html, its in Russian but you get the jist of it. These are pics of boardgames from the soviet era. Most notably the one pictured here. Its called 'Chemical War', what takes the cake is at the bottom of the box it says 'A Government Publication', meaning it was made and distributed by the soviet government, much like everything else. Other games of interest are:

Revolution
Red and White - a war game
Air Battle
Circular Race
Airplane Adventures of the USSR
Treasure Adventures of the USSR
'Morski Boi' which translates to 'Sea Battle'(totally kick ass memories of this one)
War game of modern warfare and
Battle of tanks.

I dont remember any of these, apart from the Sea Battle game, from my childhood. But have a look at the stark contrast of images on these boxes compared to games of the western world. I mean Chemical War vs Monopoly, shit chemical war wins all your money, panths down! What i would like to see is a mix mash of these. Monopoly and Chemical Warfare mixed together.... You will goto jail for the act of espionage on your mother land, you will not pass go, you will not collect 200 rubles(rubles is the currency in Russia).

Android...

Wed, 7 Apr 2010 19:37:23 EST

How long do you guys and gals give it till i give up?

My growing list of BUGS

Wed, 7 Apr 2010 10:16:13 EST

My new Nexus 1 has some MAJOR flaws. I cant understand why these BASIC features were left out by Google:

There is no ability to upload data using the FORM FILE type in HTML. So my blog is useless. I found out, this is because android has no local file browser....WHAT? Im using Opera Mini Beta at the moment to overcome this problem
I cant move mail items from my INBOX to any other folder via IMAP. Im sorry WHAT???

So far thats it....but seriously how can you leave out such basic features!!??

Oh my god...

Tue, 6 Apr 2010 22:56:43 EST

I just got my new nexus one....the inbuilt browser does not allow you to upload Giles via the web page...oh my I alsmost lost it. Thankfully there is opera mini

Darkroom set up - Complete

Tue, 6 Apr 2010 12:29:52 EST

Last night i tested out my 5th running darkroom. The previous light sealing i did worked great. There are some minor leaks at the very top of the window but they do not effect the paper at all. Im pretty sure if i left the paper there all night, it would not even fade a little! Printed some photos last night, the workflow set up is good, but i think the developing tanks will need to be lifted up higher, because im bending over from my chair to develop them. I also have a chair, for the 1st time ever in a darkroom. The last stage of developing, the wah box, is also not the best. Id like to maybe build a small water pump based basin in the room.

Setting up the dark room

Sun, 4 Apr 2010 21:36:46 EST

So we have finally cleared enough room, and had all the guests stay with us at our new place. My darkroom space is now ready to go. I have moved the room around a bit and started unpacking. The 1st order of business is to actual make it dark! This is harder than usual because the window is HUGE! So here is what i did:

My old phone

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 10:17:26 EST

My old dopod has been acting like an 80 year old man. Bit by bit its faulted. Bit by bit i gave fixed it, patched it up. I even ran Windows mobile 6.1 on it. Sadly yesturday however, i walked into a table and smashed the screen...the touchscreen still works but its totaly unusable. Gladly the phone is still fully functional so i got all my data off. Was getting scary for a moment there. Im using another dopod now, my nexus is still in the mail somewhere or irs with Thad, somewhere in columbia.

Coffee and its unbelievable effects

Tue, 30 Mar 2010 9:57:16 EST

OK, so i just had a little tiny cup of coffee, like 1 shot. In less than 5 minutes, i was buzzing and i just had to do a super fast marathon run to the nearest bathroom or there would have been something nasty in this office. OOh and i got new jeans!

Whats on for this week?

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 16:59:36 EST

Well its Passover this week, starting from tonight for 8 days until next Tuesday. That means no bread, lots of Matza and constipation. Will need to buy lots prunes to help me though the week. The week itself has no plans yet. Thursday night will be a big one, will head out to Tatou nightclub in the CBD to see Oliver Huntemann play a 3 hour set. Its also Ashes birthday, so we are making a big weekend of it. Its also Nikhils birthday on Sunday, so a big happy birthday to you, even though your piking out and going away with your woman! For now though, I am envisioning a relaxed week, but hey Im going to be proven wrong there.

An arguement i had

Sat, 27 Mar 2010 20:52:59 EST

I had a long arguement with someone about his placement of a Mezzuzah in a doorway at his house. He angled it in the opposite direction, which i found werid as ive always seen it angled with the top to the left and bottom to the right. Seems i was wrong! There is no rule that defines its angle...

You would place the Mezuzah at the bottom of the third foot from the top. The bottom end of the Mezuzah would be touching the top of the fourth foot counting from the top.

How Outlook 2007 took 1 hour of my life away

Fri, 26 Mar 2010 15:19:45 EST

Heres a story of how Outlook 2007 took away 1 hour of my life, never to be recovered again.

My problem: Exchange 2007, multiple domain environment. Person X wants ot send mail from 2 different domains in outlook...EASY? You would think so.

Solution: 1 hour of permision modifcations, default address policies, smtp connectors....NOTHING WORKS.....after 40 minutes i thought to try it on Outlook 2003...BINGO every works fine! FACE PALM!

Problem was that oulook 2007 does not allow the FROM address to be type in manualy, you must select it directly from the GAL, that is if the GAL has updated properly

My birthday Party

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:49:10 EST

Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated my birthday in style, on Saturday. Massive thanks to all my friends for my awesome to the max birthday presents. A double whopper of a BR Laser Phaser modified by Mr. A and to everyone else, especial my Moon Moon and Mr. P for organizing my brand spanking new Nexus! The party was great, even though i had to kick everyone out around 2 am (sorry guys, i rent and dont want to piss off my new neighbors). Will do a video of the phaser this week as soon as i can get my shit together! Took some long exposure shots of the beam, but after an hour realized that the damn UV filter on the lens was blocking 99% of the laser beam. Ill upload some photos soon!

Polaroids are for taking pictures

Her reply...Oh its empty,cant affor film, but it makes me look good dont u think? I looked at her with disaprovl and said Yeah NA and walked away to get my dinner! oh my, what a deuch bag!

It was the PRIMARY reason i chose a windows mobile based smart phone all those years ago over all the others! I cant believe this shit. Even the sheep at Apple have enabled this feature on the Sheep Phone, what the hell? I was seriously thinking of getting a new phone with Windows Mobile 7 Running on it, no chance now!

Corporates i Like

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 14:41:53 EST

Most corporates view their IT, especialy software licensing to the big M and S, as an unquestioning must. But a minority, view this as an optional requirement. I like this minority, because they ask me the hard questions like 'Can we conver to Open Office and still function as if we are using MS products?'. Unfortunately, the tyrany goes further down the line. Onse your hooked on MS, and you start using 3rd party stuff like Financial software from IRESS, linking of excel spreadsheets into custom built macros etc... You are screwed into a life long relationship with the giant

To work that is. After a nice 4 days off, Im back to 121 emails. No shit! Thankfylly 101 of those were backup reports that just need to be deleted. Some of u may be asking how future was. It waa awesome. Asside from some rough rainy weather i was pretty happy. I spent the whole day in the Likes of you tent, with acts like Dubfire, Sven Vath and John Digweed. The after party, held at Neverland in south Melbourne, was a complete shamozzle though. Out of the 3 headline acts only dubfire played a set worth mentioning. Sven Vath was off his face the whole night and refused to let John Digweed on the stage. Show bussiness bullshit. I have never heard 2 jours of more boring bullshit in my life.

State of Dislike

Tue, 2 Mar 2010 15:20:22 EST

This week has been a very shity one. I have been working through the weekend to do a big server cut over for a client. Everything went well, but with the bonus of overtime, comes the bonus of 9 days consecutive work, 9 days of consecutive corporate bullshit, 9 days of consecutive boss stannding over me asking me what im doing every hour of the day, 9 days of consecutive shit that i am no longer interested in. I have almost quit 3 times this week, Today would have been number 4. I really need to land a new job fast! So as to not make this a completely negative post, please see atttached image. Its related to this post...i do love stamps! Especialy self inking ones, you can stamp shit with them for hours!

Yesturday was a shite day for me. A few things really got to me in ways i really should not have let them get to me. Firstly, it turns out the cleaner who did the post vacate clean on our old appartment, didnt really do much cleaning. And getting hold of him to re-clean was even harder. And im going to see a refund any time soon. Damn u Wang, damn u to cleaning hell! I submitted a omplaint against him to consumer affairs, doubt that will lead me anywhere but whatever helps. Secondly my thumb got somehow stuff in my bikes indicator switch whilst i was driving, i later realized that the whole glove was coming appart. I drove to Peter stevens and gave them my 2c worth. They took the gloves, which are not even 4 months old yet, and said that it would take 2 weeks to get them fixed/replaced. Meanwhile they gave me some thin fake wanky pair so i could ride home in. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE. Today i feel a little better. I coffe would be nice.

Sat, 20 Feb 2010 10:22:18 EST

At some stage you tend to go back to the classics and wonder where and how and who started it all. Last nite was an experience ill never forget. Having little heard of Orbital before i really didnt know what to expect. I knew it was going to be a live show, they are usualy heaps of fun. I knew they were a huge act, which usualy means a big crowd. I knew 1 or 2 of the tracks, which is my bad really. In reality i totaly forgot who Orbital were...as the night progressed and the set ended, The lights went dim, the crowd went wild. And i mean WILD! The place was filled with hardcore fans. HARDCORE FANS, wow! SO anyway, they come back for an encore, start playing and i start to feel something, to hear something and remember...Those fatefull few chords, that eaary theramin sound, the long reverbed swooshes of space and time. It was the Theme song to the TV show Dr Who....Years ago, i had downloaded it randomly, and i mean like 10 years maybe, it was a live version, really shitty sound but everytime i listened to it, i was there. Where ever there was. Last night however....I REALLY WAS THERE. Live in person listening to Orbital perform, and i said to myself...THATS who Orbital are, now i remember where id heard them.

Din dins is....

How good are typewriters

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:34:45 EST

I wish i could write something usefull, and required a typewriter to do so. There is something so sexy about these machines. Something so nostalgic and oldschool. Even though I am too young to have used one for a function, i can still see the romance in them. My sister had to used one for school, i used it a feew times for school, but by the time i needed to write large ammounts of text, we had a computer and a printer. Whilst these machines have their drawbacks, and plenty of them, some like this IBM, is just awesome!

To format or not to format

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:41:31 EST

Next time you plug in an external hard disk into your windows computer, and it asks you if you want to format it...DO NOT DO IT. I almost lost all my 80gb worth of music that i carefully hand collected over these years. Turns out that the hard drive enclosure i used require you to put the drive into Cable Select mode else it picks up the disk as a healthy unformated partition! Damn windows. Brings me to a reminder that i need a raided nas drive for all my stuff

A change in the weather

Thu, 11 Feb 2010 11:44:38 EST

I need it! Im sick of this relentless heat and muggyness. Theres no rain, no cool wind, no cool change and heaps of mossies! Damn them, they keep me awake all night with their buzzing. Today im not having such a fantastic day, why i dont know, but im just not. Todays outlook on life is horrible, bleak, one sided ad pesimistic. I know that this will change but i dont like this state of mind. It makes me unproductive and blazze about everything around me. Last nite we maxed out the kitchen table, by hosting an impromptue dinner for 11 people! Thats right, i had 11 people in my kitchen!

3rd time lucky

Tue, 9 Feb 2010 9:29:42 EST

Well, everytime i have a coffe in the morning, i need to go to the bathroom.And in the bathroom i write in my blog. This morning i point your attention to this sign in the bathroom of an office building im currently in. Its taken from the Washingtson Health services website, which is irelivent for 1 main reason. If you direct your eyes to the last 3 panes of this instruction booklet for the dumb, you will notice it says...rinse your hands, dry them and only then use a dry paper towel to turn off the water. It takes me at least 5 seconds to properly dry my hands....Lets multiply that a little. In 5 seconds i can fill up 1 glass of water. Lets say that the bathroom is used about 100 times a day on 20 floors...Thats 2000 glaases of water a day watsed because of some dumb fuck in the US of A! We are in a drout people! Use the Blow dryer

5 Minutes to change the Meter

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 10:27:6 EST

This morning, we got buzzed at our place. There was an electrician from the power company changing over all the power meters to those new smart meters. He said that we would be withotu power for 5 minutes! I was thinking to myself:

1. Iether this guys is SUPER fast and can replace our meter in 5 minutes or..

2. Hes goign to quickly hack the old meter off and connect us directly to the grid, whilst he gets the new ones ready to go and plugs them in in series....

Option 2 would be great, it gives us fere power for the time it takes him to put the new meter online. Ofcoarse he could have done the dodgy and put teh meter on in Series with teh old one and then cut the old one off.

Hot...Its hot in here..and out there

Im sitting in this organic caffe in the cbd now. WHen i say organic,its one of those places that has fooood produced in an organicly certified way.

SO i turn to her and say 'Dude, there are egss in this muffin?' and she sais yes there are. So i ask for my money back, i said that after hearing what she said about eggs, i didnt want to eat it. She started umming and eerring....but i just sais 'na dude im fucking with you, i love egss' and walked out. Fucking vegans!

Friday Friday.....

Fri, 22 Jan 2010 10:2:2 EST

Beeing the gateway to the weekend, Friday brings with it a multitude of good. But like that last screw that refuses to come out of the machine, Fridays may seem to go on and on when one is at work. Sometimes you have to carefully twist that screw driver in place to pass the day away hassle free, or just grab a set of pliers and a hammer to put an end to that last screw. I hate those screws, whom ever puts them in stuff surely is satan incarnate. On another note, i have created a new front page for my portadisk site, check it out here www.portadisk.com

Thursday - My theory on thursday

Thu, 21 Jan 2010 9:57:48 EST

Its a day of early excitement. Friday is aproaching, the weekend is almost at hand, but not quiet. One can see the goal whilst still playing the game, its no longer a ruthless play for survival, but a clear and concious vision of the weekend. I wake up earlier on Thursday than most other days, i feel somewhat better seeing the goal. I really need to get out of the IT industry...

Tuesday Morning - Corporate Style

Tue, 19 Jan 2010 09:45:00 EST

If monday is the bringer of pai and dull begginings of a new work week, than Tuesday is an example of the etrnity that people spend plodding through their office jobs. Moving papers around their desk, numbers around their sheets, windows around their screens, letters to and fro. I notice a guy in the elevator today. He got out at the secon floor, was well dressed in a clean suit, but his posture and appearence indicated to me his complete lack of 'giving a fuck' about today. Reminded me of the countless numbers that plod the corporate world in the movie Brazil.

For me, Tuesdays are an inbetween the back to work drudgery of Monday and the sweet middle hump of the week wednesday. Today also marks the day of our notice to vacate our current flat. I gave 1 months notice last nite so within the next 30 days we will be in Fooby doobe doos flat!

The mightiest chup

But this chup, this chup had the flavour of the entire pack within it. Before i even put it near my mouth i could feel my senses tingling!

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 9:26:37 EST

Today we bring you a treat, curtesy of the web comic we have been posting up! Today we chat with Mr. AutoFresh, the father of Spray..

Well hello, Mr. Autofresh, thats a lovely scent what are you spraying today? Autospray: Its a mix of lavendar, chamomile to relax, bit of ginger for the wake up appeal, mixed with an aerosol to get things spraying....oh and its got some arsenic...makes my day a bit more fun ha ha!

What was Spay like as a youngster? Was he always addement to take over the world? He was a stone cold murderer right of the assembly line that one! An insect murderer, we had to coax him abit to get him into the world domination idea. He had a nasty fall from a bench top, kind of shook him up, and that bloody Roomba mate of his didnt help, started tasing him because he thought it was the dog. Thats when it all started, he orders nerver toxin insted of fly spray, talks about the human filth instead of the insect filth!

What do you think will be his next move in the grasp for worl conquest? Well if i told you...pssst....id have to kill you!

Corporate WIN

Thu, 24 Dec 2009 9:22:15 EST

I often bitch about corporate life, corporate offices, corporate culture etc... Today i would like to point out just a few good things. Firstly, last nite was the most disgusting sleep of my life. Its never been so hot in our place at night. NEVER. So to come into an office this morning that has their AC cranked up to a breezy 19c, Thats a WIN! Secondly, after a big feas which yours trully cooked up last night, I was so full, hot and tired that i couldnt even go to the bathroom. In coms the corporate coffe machine. Goood for coffes, cheering me up in the mornings and for most of any posts i enter before 10am. Thirdly, unerground parking. Theres something fancy about it. I love riding my bike into a huge underground parking lot, you can really hear the engine reverberate against the walls.

Its very hot

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 21:58:55 EST

Indeed... We have finished eating din dins, chilling in the living room listening to Mulate Estatke, etheopian jazz, just right for this heat. Only thing i wish for would be a cool change, cooler than the 3 degree drop we had a few hours ago

To my peeps in byron

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:58:42 EST

We also have a beach! Its hot as, but the water is nice and cool. The sun is getting covered by the clouds as i type this and a relatively cool wind is flowing

God help you if you steal a Blackberry

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:00:31 EST

Seriously,the things are evil. If you have taken it out of the box and used it in a corporate environment,forget about using it again in any other fasion! If i was a crook, i would steer clear of these like aids!

Its hot today

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 15:54:30 EST

36 right now, sunny with a hot blasting wind that strangles you as you breath! Tommorow willl be rainy and 30, im hoping it will rain tonight to cool my place off a bit. Im enjoying what little AC i can from one of my clients buildings, untill i get home and have to suffer the heat

Dealing with grumpy people

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 10:16:14 EST

Dont agrevate them any further! Do your thing, then leave and hope that the next time you have to speak to them/see them they will be happier. And if you see them on the street passed out on the sidewalk from too much boozing at their work xmas function...do what i do...take a picture and post it on a blog!

Wednesday - the mid-work-week day

Wed, 23 Dec 2009 10:7:54 EST

I was greeted with a 'u are supposed to be here at lunchtime not 9am' this morning. Like i give a shit about some admin staffs ability or inability to do their job for 30 minutes while i add features to their computers that will make their day easier. You can not win with people. Do you want to know my way of dealing with it? Stay tuned, for the next instalment.

Melbourne at Night

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 22:00:00 EST

On this gorgeous tuesday night, the CBD is just amazing. Its peacefull, modern, alive, pleasant and welcoming. Not many are out tonight, with the few whom are, bein dressed to fit right into the buildings themselves. As i sit and wait for moon moon to finish work, i will not be posting about my bog but about the chilax mood the city has bestowed upon me tonight.

Tuesday Coffe

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 11:54:13 EST

I had one about an hour ago and i can already feel it ramping up my system. SO NYE is comming, seems like everyones out of the idea of going to a commercial venue. SO now im looking for a house to hold a party at. Mine is fine, but i fear our psyco neighbour might turn evil just after midnight. We have a few other options, but none of them are real options yet. So im still strugling with what ill be doing on NYE

Im a chaargin mah Blackberries

Tue, 22 Dec 2009 10:33:55 EST

Had to migrate 6 Blackberries to 6 new Blackberry Bold 9700s. They be shiny and have a touch pad trackpad instead of the ball, 1 less moving part to clog up with dirt and fat residue.. Personaly i would not use one, i think there is something cold about blackberries, cold and corporate.. So anyone out there reading this....do you like the new web comic we are putting together

A short week with lots of work

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 11:32:18 EST

Thats what this week is all about. I have 4 days of work, an x-mas lunch on Wednesday with one of our bigger clients, an x-mas lunch at the belenki household...and did i mention i have to work this week! Its lame as! Im taking next week off though, so NYE should be good.

Speaking of NYE, it looks like everyone is passing on it this year, with nothing but after NYE and before NYE celebrations. We are thinking of going to brown alley, there look like a lot of good acts, but it still seems a bit iffy! Did you guys and girls like my new web-comic idea?

Good intentions dont always result in good

Sun, 21 Dec 2009 09:14:8 EST

This is my companys idea of good intentions. This portable AC was put in my office,its Loud as truck, the window needs to be constantly open for it to work,the blinds are bent and so let in allot of hot sunlight and it takes up allot of room. Sure its nice of them to get me an AC so i felt cooler while i domy work. But here is a great example of good intentions, commited into a horrible pain in the neck

Way to late, but kept sleeping anyway. Got to my 1st clients office too late, he wasn't pleased that his internet wasn't up by 10am. But its all good now. Only had 1 piece of toast with nutela and tea, already had my 1st this morning....Feel ALIVE! Don't misunderstand my picture, Im in a dark small room with allot of humming equipment and dust

Old school

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 10:57:41 EST

Was asked to pull the HDDs out of 2 old laptops for disposal and destruction today. These things were like thos white bricks of yesteryear. The disks were a whopping 810mb, which would have been state of the art back then in 1996. I feel bad destroying them, they are 13 years old and still work. Most HDDs these days are lucky to get 2 years of life

Back to the daily grind

Mon, 14 Dec 2009 10:24:32 EST

On a scale of 1 to 10, whre 1 is 'Please let my office be on fire' and 10 is 'Im so happy to be a corporate slave today'...This morning i woke up feeling like -100... I did not want to get up to goto work. I wasnt tired, or sleepy so much, but G-d how i loathed going back to the office. Now, as i sit on my blogging chair, after my 1st meeting with my boss, i loathe work alittle less. I still loathe thee work, but less so. No i still loathe this shit, just as much now that i think about it.

Last visit to beach on my last holiday day

Sun, 13 Dec 2009 20:4:17 EST

RIP Ubertopium - ALL HALE UBERTOPIUM

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 0:34:46 EST

After almost 6 years of almost 24/7 operation my humble little desktop has finaly given up its ghost. I paid $1000AU for the machine, which is about 45c a day over 6 years! Good value for money i say! Thankfully, im anal about backup, so the ghost didnt escape so fast. I restored the image onto a new desktop and bang all good.... Well mostly, i got my lightroom catalog back and some other software which i needed for remote access, but the most anoyin thing is that the old machine had a F drive instead of a C drive. That was totaly my fault, installed windows with 2 hard drives...anyway, after the image migration, it corrected that back to C but then i had to repair xpp, install the service packs....now i found out that its quier to just change every registry key from anything fereing to f to c. So thats what im doing now. I hate computers!

Everyday has been an adventure of one kind or another, where i did not know what i was going to do. Now with my last week here i am really stuck... Going for a swim at the sea baths as soon as Moon Moon sorts out one of her dresses at the tailors

The devil - thoughts....

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 13:40:34 EST

Im always intriguied by how the Devil is depicted throught time. Especialy in movies and texts, but not so much the bible (the old testemaent not the spamed new one). The idea of the devil is not really portraid as the opposite of G-d or as a god type individual. The devil is often just an angel of darkness. WHat i find interesting is that the devil is often decsribe as a cold, gambling, precise charector...I saw the new movie last nite by Tim Burton, The Imaginarium of Dr Parnasus. In it, The devil is described and played as a gambling man, inteligent, mathematical, precise, cold etc... BUT one thing they do show is that the devil is FAIR. Not fair in the human sense but fair as in scientific. Logical would be a better word. My thoughs are that the Devil may just be another force in the universe, one that is niether destructive or creative but more influential. A force that explains chaos maybe. It seems that in some religious texts, science is sometimes described as evil and heretic! Maybe the devil is the scientific mind? If anyone with strong religious beliefs reads this, please dont get upset, just my opinions.

The Latest Mo

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 8:28:20 EST

Haw yeah, the weather is nice here, mild, i reckon around the late 20s. I got here way to early, waiting for the IT guy from this company to rock up....

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 4:58:10 EST

Yeai...na for work..but hopefully its cooler than in melbourne

Im doing overtime

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:8:36 EST

With a hard hat on, even though its really small, but its cool. Man i wrote that to the words of the great Rick Astley. Try it, sing the chorus starting from 'never gona give you up...' and replace that with 'im doing overt----time....' etc...

My Mo so far

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:39:41 EST

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:40:36 EST

35 31 30 31 32 34

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 12:10:23 EST

You know what those numbers mean? They mean im goign to be HOT as for the next 6 days!!! Luckyly im flying to Sydney for work this Thursday, and im hoping its cooler there. Ill be inside an office most of the day, so worst case, ill be in AC comfort!

Mr. P has his Ls

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 16:34:1 EST

Haw yeah

Its hot

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 16:5:4 EST

But im only 9 working days away from Byron Bay. I hope Mr. P passed his licence test today.

So Hot

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 12:9:51 EST

Man, my office is HOT..want to know how hot? Ill tell you how hot....But i have to wait until my watch cools off from my arms temperature...lets talk about something else now. The Melbourne to Byron bay trip is on!! And i mean ON! Well, in reality it all depends on Mr. P for now. He has to pass his L's test which he is currently doing, in 32c heat...that sucks ass! If he passes, then we are a step closer. If he fails, I'm on my own for the trip, which will be ok, but boring as hell! The next step is to get his Bike serviced, and because its a bloody bemah, there are like 3 places in Victoria that will look at it. Coupled with the fact that its summer, it was pretty hard to find a spot to book a service. Hopefully its all good for this Friday. Im sure the bike will pass with flying colors, but you never know. Zed, if your reading this hes getting a BMW F650 CS, hers s a link to what it looks like. Back to the temperature, fuck its like 33.4c in my office, screw this im going to the beach to have my lunch!

So hot, when will this madnes end

Mon, 9 Nov 2009 9:23:13 EST

Why is Melbourne weather so cruel? Its either too hot, or too cold! I'm Shwitzing in the office. We have air con here but only in the main room, i have a small fan thats blowing the cool air in here....not so well

Mo date - Day 5

Thu, 5 Nov 2009 9:31:0 EST

What a wanker of a guy calls me today complaining that his computer is slow, when in actual fact its Completely his fault! Made my morning! What is wrong with these people? They cheap out where it counts and then complain! Anyway here is my mo on day 5!

Movember update - Day 4

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 12:44:9 EST

This having to shave every day is getting annoying! Think of how much of the wollowing resources would be saved if men all around the world grew beards and only used beard trimmers to neat their beards! So much water, disposable and non disposable blades, shaving cream, moisturiser, aftershave lotion etc... Think about it. If i use about 1 litre of water per day to shave, the entire population of 20million Aussies would save 20Mega liters each day by not shaving! People! We need to think long and hard about this.Is having a clean shaven face worth 20megaliters of water each day?????

Mo day 3

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 14:29:55 EST

Today is a public holiday, fuck knows why! Melbourne cup is a horse raising carnival, dont really care. But i do get a day off work! Check out my Mo brew and Sistas!

Movember - Day 2

Mon, 2 Nov 2009 8:13:2 EST

FYI the number 9 key is also the M key on my phones keyboard, thats why the last Movember post was titled 9ovember... Anyway, its day 2 the mow is thinner than last year, but i hope to grow it sodeways like a dali style. Seeing as its Melbourne Cup day tomorrow, it looks like half of melbourne didnt turn up to work. I drove into the cbd today with almost no traffic and th streets were so full of parking spots it looked like 6am on a Sunday.

So what are y'all doing? I know Mr. A is the only one who really reads this and responds.....I will have to think up a better way to advertise this blog....on second thoughts, I will stick with it being not so popular....I have those rare after party moments where i sit in front of photo-booth on Mr. Williss' laptop and start making funny faces, then posting them on this blog..

Mr. Bowie had it right...or not. I'm not really sure. what the hell, he was wrong... I'm tired, tired of working my work. Tired of constant 'why is my computer broken, what did i do? whine whine fucking whine!!!!!!'. I should really get a new job.....more pay and different people..different people.....

Next monday is a public holiday

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:51:56 EST

Or is it next tuesday? Anyway, whichever day it is,it means im 1 day closer to my holidays. Mr. Cox is leaving Melbourne today, a friendly 'untill we meet again' to him. No goodbuys because hell be back here in 6 months time, or ill see him on my next work trip to Sydney. Pro tip for all you pomigranite enthusiasts: Dont eat to many of them in a day. I had a small bottle of pomigranite juice last nite followed by a whole pomigranite a few hours later. Seems to solidify not smooth the exit process.

Melbourne to Byron is ON!

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:51:8 EST

Got to play with a new imac, LED backlit and new multi touch Mouse. Its pretty slick, i hope it can be hacked a bit,because its initial settings in osx are pretty boring. But the whole mouse seems to be one multitouch surface. I can see some benifits in this kind of device..Camon logitec, bring something better out

Rage at Vista

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 16:2:6 EST

Why does this $3500 Sony Vaio laptop work as if its trying to load windows onto the ENIAC? Because the idiots at sony and microsoft put vista on it, put hardware that has no xp drivers in it and now, this Dual core 2gb ram laptop is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow, it pointless to use! And the worst thing is that is BRAND NEW OUT OF THE BOX

Fuuuuuu!

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 14:46:10 EST

I have to DE-Recomend a place. Thats my way of saying, ist shit, dont go near them!! Yamaha City on elizabeth Street, fuckers have been teling me for 6 months now taht they have my helmet visor on bakc order allong with about 15 other people!

Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:43:41 EST

Only 1 whole moth till i goo on holidays, that is i stop working. Still thinking about a bike trip up to Byron Bay, although it looks like ill be doing it alone. Spilt a whole cup of tea on myslef this morning. Half awake that i was, it wasnt the scalding tea, my wet panths or the wet floor that pissed me off. It was that i had just barely had 2 sips of tea. That made me rage abit. Yeah ive been on 4chan too much lately.

Parked on a sunny day

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 14:7:18 EST

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 12:25:48 EST

That their new friend Palm was running Windows Mobile, They ganged up on him and started to make fun of him and tease him. The blackberry on the right was so BOLD (pardon the pun) as to call him a looser.

The day is getting warmer

A day of food purchasing and using spare parts

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 21:26:56 EST

Spent most of today buying food with Moon Moon. Got enough to feed a small tribe for a week. Also picked up a Navman F10, tiny little gps unit that was on sale for $160, took it home and bricked the fucking thing within the 1st 5 minutes of operation. Took it back and got an upgrade to a newer model. S35 i think. Rowan helped me mod up the car mount to my bike. We used an old bycycle pump mount, that mounts to a solit round bar. The car mount itself, hacked up and fixed plus some spare mechano i had lying around. Rowans technical expertise really helped, my original design of the DYI Bike mount turned out to be a really well made bike mount for the unit. Now its sitting on my Triumph and i can pull it off any time. Awesome.

Welcome to Microsoft....

So its Tuesday

Tue, 6 Oct 2009 11:47:57 EST

Im pretty much fully recovered today, had a very quiet day or work and chill yesturday, to cool off my min. Today i feel a lot more focused, which is the way i like it. One of the admin staff at one of my clients asked me today if i had a big weekend, i said that i just finished recovering on monday and they started talking about how 'IT Guys' always party.....what the fuck do i say to that? Not only did she instantly pigionhole me into the 'Boring Nerd' category, but then she generalized about my Partying Ability! I just smiled and waved....smiled and waved....fucking morons. BTW i know my pictures up here are getting a tad bit boring, but theres only so much stuff i can photograph in a toilet untill it starts getting alittle too close for comfort

AfterLife - my personal review

Mon, 5 Oct 2009 10:30:54 EST

8 of us went to the Park Life after party on Saturday night. I was glad that i had not bought tickets for Park Life, the line up was crap and $130 was steep to see 1 or 2 acts i really liked. One of those acts was thankfully playing at the after party and thats why we all decided to go. Tiga was the man we all paid $40 to see, unfortunately, Tiga was shit. I'm being, soft there also. He started 30 minutes late, the 1st hour of his set was so boring that most of the dance floor was empty and slowly getting emptier, his whole set was less then 2 hours ( for an international act, thats disgraceful) and to top it all off, he didn't play even 1 of his own tracks!!!! But There is a silver lining to any grey boring, Canadian cloud... Claude VonStroke, some guy i had not heard of before, chubby, bearded and very shy. AMAZING DJ! Played an awesome almost 3 hour set. Here is his MySpace page. Thanks to him we all had a good time and justified the $320 all 8 of us forked over to be there!

Cryonics

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 18:25:31 EST

Oh my how the internet makes your mind wonder. I have a lot of spare time now whilst this bloody RAID does its thing. 7megabytes per second my ass! Anyway, i was watching this TED talk by a photographer, Taryn Simon. Here is the link to the video. What really startled me was one of her photos. It was of a Mother and Wife of a Scientist who founded the Cryonics Institute. I then did a segway and found that my search for Cryonics Institute gives me their branch in Australia. I eventually found the US site as read the QA pages for a while. Wow, holy fucking shit. It costs $28,000 USD to get your dead body to be frozen for 'eternity' or until they find a way to re animate you and heal your illness whatever it may be. Funnily enough you can not be frozen until you are proclaimed legally dead. They make this statement allot on their site. I felt really uncomfortable reading this stuff, I didn't find it as bullshit or as a scam, i don't dispute what they say at all. Read it here. I just found it rather strange. I don't know if you would really come back to life. I cant work out how people go through with this thing its just creepy....

Upgrading the server

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 16:50:23 EST

And doing it old-school style! Got 3 new 15k Ultra 320 SCSI Hard Disks ready to be HOT Swapped into the RAID array of this baby! Haaaaaaaaaaw yeaaah!.....

Heard this one on AM radio today: You wouldn't want to have sex with a bird.....You might catch the chirpies!!! that stuff is untweatable!

Bada boom! chhhhhhh

Urban Burger

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:1:37 EST

Last nights dinner was a delicious veggie burger from urban burger on Ormond rd in Elwood. With extra halipinios. Todays lunchtime log is proudly sponsored by said burger, its slightly less tangy on its way out.

The turles knew it

Thu, 24 Sep 2009 9:29:24 EST

There is a classic simpsons episode where the family visits a world fair. Im not sure if its a new world fair,but i have a feeling it was old like from the 60s because of all the Pan-am references. There is a scene where they are on a tour of the future and they drive into a mock scene of giant mech robots, with pan-am planes added on for good looks, whiping humans to do hard labour. ANd in the background you hear the Turtles Singing....I had another wacky dream last nite, it was very convincing thoug. I was on my way to the aiport with Moon Moon, we were going somewhere, it tooks us forever to get to the dam plane because of the shitty weather. When inside the airport, i start noticing that the area is turning into a house then an airport, it was morphing into a smaller place. And outside a huge storm rages. I finaly get to the windows of the airport/house and i see the runway, but im looking at a bay. I can see soft gentlee waves and mild rain. Suddenly the waves start getting very large and iregular,not like from the wind but as if something large was falling into the water.....From there it just seemed that i was at home and ground level was flooded. Chaos all around. ALl i could think of was 'why didnt i buy a cb radio'

Love a good stretch!

Thats tha one

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 11:15:50 EST

Seeing a panther in ones dreams is an indicator of many things such as:

Entering the darkness within, going into the void
Represent ferocity and anger
Strength in action, especially through stealth, and personal power. Decisiveness, the attitude of 'act now, think later' or extremely in touch with basic instincts. Smooth in action and capable with an edge of danger
To see a panther and experience fright, interpret that contracts in love or business may be canceled unexpectedly, owing to adverse influences working against your honor
To see a panther in your dream, signifies lurking danger and enemies working to do you harm. It represents darkness, death, and rebirth. On a more positive note, panthers signify power, beauty and/or grace

Pretty freaky huh! So either someones out to get me or Im about to do something sneaky and stealthy! Mmmmm!

A Scanner Darkly

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 9:54:51 EST

No not the movie or the book, just a scanner with not much light. Hehe. Well on another note, i had a dream last nite that has got to have a bunch of symbolism in it. I was naked in my room, waiting to get my cloathes from another room or a bag,i was not sure where my cloathes were. Besde me was a huge black panther!. HUGE! it was wasit high, and sat next to be licking its paws and yawning. Ocasionaly leaning on me. It wasnt at all agressive, yet i felt a very strong push and pull from fear and normality. Strange!

Monda bloody monday

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 11:24:54 EST

What can i say about today. I did not sleep to well last night, no idea why. I woke up pretty late and got to my 1st client at 9:30. No one really complains but hey, i don't feel right sometimes. I had 2 pancakes for breakfast, made them Sunday morning. Its sunny and warm today, if i didn't have to carry 2 laptops with me i would have taken my bike. I also have not been to the bathroom today, its 11:20 am, and that its making me cranky. Im setting up some stuff on a mac now, thought i would use photo booth.

Meal 3 almost over

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 20:24:37 EST

Not much veg to eat here,but the cake was killer! Wet for a nice ride on my Bonnie todaywith Mr. Willis. went to send my good vibrations to Brahm whos currently doing vipassana. Drove past the meditation centre, and on through healsville to a visit to the water catchment. was Nice!

Feast 1 over

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 22:23:22 EST

Feeling pretty full, unloading as we speak.

The feasting beggins

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 11:50:5 EST

Last nite heralded the start of the feasting for the next 2 days. Tonight is Rosh ha shana (the jewish new year) and tomorow night is the second night meal. I think that i will have great dificulty moving aftre both meals. Last nite, Oxygen, Mr.P and Che, cooked up lotsa food that i had issues moving after. As i sit for the second of todays bathroom activities, i ponder about the food i will be consuming.

The gang is back

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 9:40:20 EST

Yesturday haled the arrival of Yo, Frenchie and Mr. P. I could make a movie or write a book with these names if i had any creative writing tallents. My 2 reels of feel came from NY. Mr.P gracefully carried them for me. I put the HP5 in the fridge untill my T-max runs out(whichim sure it has). I reloaded my last empty canister last nite and had 0 left on the counter,so im not sure how much will actualy be left over. I did however load my new reel of Delta 400 in my new Cherry Hi-Loader. I dont know what is with the fancy name, i assume its chinese, but after an initial strugle with a test bit of film, i worked out how to load the whole reel in under 2 minutes. The LPL Bulk film loader on the other hand takes me about 5-10 minutes to load because its full of gears and sprockets that one has to spool the film around in complete darkness. Anyway, welcome back people!

Wednesday sunny wednesday

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 12:48:7 EST

Its a gorgeos day outside, warm and sunny. I am however sitting inside an office setting up a new server. Its going to take quiet a while to do, probably 3 days or so. Its a relatively cool thing to do on one hand. One the other its rather laborious. Migrating mailboxes, user data, permisions etc... I have been watching Snuff Box for the last few hours, thanks to J man for getting me hooke on this. Funny shit

Todays Workstation

Wed, 16 Sep 2009 10:35:16 EST

Looks like this. On the left we have a Dual Quad Core 3.6ghz Xeon HP server with 12gb ram and 1tb sas raid. On the right we have my mini hooked into an invention of my own design. I call it the Segregator. Its a network thingy,that segregates exchange servers from one another but still lets em sit together.

Sunny Tuesday

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 9:34:39 EST

Its sunny allright, not so much warm but very sunny. On my bike again today and thats always pleasant. Todays entry consists of 4 types of cheeses, Tasty, Swiss, Danish Fetta and cream cheese. Tomatoes, bread and crackers made it in there as well. This morning, i had a nice hot bowl of porridge, self made with a huge scoop of yogurt. Yes i have nothing interesting to write yet...what are you going to do about it?

A well worked party

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:17:10 EST

Last nite was Ms. Bs bday party. Im always reasured to know that my friends are like my family. Im reasured that they will be there ti look after me if need be, to have fun with me,if need be etc... Im doing some laundry, mainly because my jeans were complteley covered in some sort of filth from last night. Mostly ketchup.....mmmm....I figured i might as well wash the rest of my stuff if im doing my jeans.

Why did this never get made

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 16:4:41 EST

I Have a folder on my computer, where i put files. Unlike most people, i don't like deleting files. Especially text files. I find Text files the most useful. I have a lot of them, small notes to myself, by myself, said by others etc... I believe this was written either before or after we went to NZ several years back. Its was an idea for a movie:

THE IDEA: 3 british guys find a credit card...

They proceed to:

fly to New Zealand
rent a Winnebago

Title: 'Ill use my credit card!'. Because when asked by shop asissnat, will that be cash or credit well say 'ill use my credit card!'.

The Cast:

pants=me, welsh(cant understand him so they call him pants) colin=Mr. A winston=Mr. J, albert winston Base it all and towns we stop at and on past shit thet we have done like the 'look at my hand' incident...

BTW KK is in town for a day, was hoping it was going to be longer but hey, a day is better then no day at all. Goodluck with you bussines deal KK!

Maybe a name change?

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:17:28 EST

Thinking about changing this sites name to something like 'The Morning Bog'. If i had something interesting to write, that is. This would be an interesting job if its something that takes of. But you really have to be someone to have a blog that feeds you. A smooth segway in to something that happened near me today. Was walking to a clients office from my car, and was passing a school. I see this little boy, probably 7 years old and his mom, who is olding the gate of the school open for the kid to coe through. Suddenly the kid starts balling and screaming 'BUT I DONT WANT TO GOTO SCHOOL!!' to whic i replied to him as i walked by 'I know how you feel!'. Did his mom give me a greasy or what! haha. That really woke me up this morning. That and my bog....bata boom...chsshhhsh!!

An exciting moment for the 21st Century

Wed, 9 Sep 2009 10:30:32 EST

In my hands i hold the very 1st double 8mm film roll that I have ever shot. The camera used to shoot this was an oldie but obviously a goodie. Picked up by Mr. A in Germany last month, this little baby works just fine. Made in USSR still means quality! Aside from the camera, the film is properly developed, and well exposed at most parts. Ill have to rig up that broken projector and see if i can get this thing to give me some moving pictures

It feels like monday again

Tue, 8 Sep 2009 13:58:51 EST

My 1st day back home and already i feel the awefullness of idiocy around me. I got a whole run down of stuff from last week, i got people calling me 1st thing off, i got people accusing m of rushing things, i got shitty wether, i got renewal notices, i got 20 fucking calls from different people all with different insignificant little fucking problems. You wana hear about venting!!!!

Im Back

Mon, 7 Sep 2009 23:43:23 EST

In Melbourne that is is. And im staying here for a while. Sydney was fun but stupidly overpriced. Will be good to take the bike out for a spin as soon as the wether gets better.

Breakfast in sydney

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 23:58:24 EST

So its 12.30pm, me and moon moon are starving. We only just woke up about an hour ago and havent had breakfast yet. Our hotels restaurant is closed. Walking down the cbd streets, we see not 1 caffe open. The Hilton hotels restaurant is closed. So we go to the sheriton. No breakfast!!! No fucking breakfast and they wana charge me $28 for a fucking bagle with fish!!!

Nightclubs in Sydney

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 23:55:45 EST

Are huge and shitt. The people are all dressed up in high class gear, but a pig in a suit is still a pig. Everything is big and over the top and you just feel very little.

On the monorail

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 17:46:31 EST

Im on the monorail baby

Our hotel room

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 17:19:46 EST

Writing a blog about my bog! Haw yeah! Moon moon is with her friend getting her nails done, i decided to talk a long walk from kings cross back to the hotel to get changed. Gona maybe take the monorail and will def post a pic from there!

Padington Markets

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 16:7:46 EST

Went to these markets just outside of the CBD. Kind of like the markets out the front of beaconsfield parade in St Kilda and Chappel street, but without all the shick rre wogs in hoted up comodores. Nothing really spec, got some soaps and a jumper for $55

The Sheritton in sydney

Sat, 5 Sep 2009 12:57:9 EST

Having a big lunch at here with Moon Moons family. Spent the morning at the Great synagogue for her cousins pre wedding kidush thing. Walked around a bit took in the city and the people. STill havnt really goten out of the cbd much. weather here is pretty nice though. Sunny and warm. Most of buildings are art deco in style, very old and classy

A toast to Mr. A

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 15:15:10 EST

Heres a beer. The weather here is fan farking tastic. I could think of nothing better to do then to drink one and when im drinking beer, im reminded of Mr. A. Cheers brew! I wouldnt usualy drink a beer in Melbourne in the city, but its a nice feeling of i dont know where the faark i am.

Mother Chu-s Vegeterian Kitchen

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 14:37:41 EST

Im staaaarving and im scare of all the takeaway placaes near by. A quick google maps search for vegetarian revelas a veg only chineese place that does what i think is imitation meat, right across the street from the hotel. Gona try to goto hyde park after for a nice chill out on the grass. The buildings here are pretty epic. The streets are much smaller and the building look so much bigger

Bloging from a Sydney toilet

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 10:3:58 EST

Much the same as blogging from a melbourne toilet.

Welcome to Sydney

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 9:59:46 EST

What can I say, its big, its soggy and moist. Im describing a piece of cake haha. Na, it seems like a pretty full on place. Melbourne is kind of small in comparison, im on level 6 on George street, and the streets are very tight, full of bussess and cs. Most of the building have greenery growing out of their windows, which i really like. It kinda reminds me of Mumbai,but hey a big city is a big city. Stay tuned for more of my adventures in Sydney.

A log for the airways

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 7:18:22 EST

You know i have to blog up here. We are flying at a speed of 500kph,at an altitude of....um i missed that bit. But i didnt miss the chance to use an airplane toilet. No chance! What can i say, if you gota go,you gota go. And airplane bathrooms have a charm of their own. They are compact, and everything is efficiently placed. Most of all, the slight movement and vibration of the plane, really helps with the movement of the blog.

5am at the Airport

Fri, 4 Sep 2009 5:12:23 EST

Man this place never sleeps, and i mean never. The security here is way too much for a domesti terminal. I was checked for explosives twice before i got anywhere near the plane. Thats all good but i was never checked for drugs,knives etc... I got a bad vibe from a security guard who was russing me allong. Just as my stuff come out of the xray machine hes like 'camon move it,move it' i greased him off and told him to slow down. So this will be my 1st visit to Sydney, hope it will be fun. got 6 rolls of filk with me, hopefully that will be enough.

Dells new class tops

Thu, 3 Sep 2009 16:10:7 EST

This is a desktop for one of our clients. These go for $900 and are pretty cool. Dual core,2gb ram,160gb disk etc... and its very pretty. Missing a touch screen like the HP though

Goin to Sydney tomorrow

Thu, 3 Sep 2009 14:8:52 EST

Im excited, bit stressed also. I forget that i wont have my car there. I forget that i will need to tak epublic transport there. And I forget that Sydney people are not as relaxed as Melbourne people. I am also a bit upset that its so damn nice today, and i coudlnt tak emy bike out. work is anoying!

WOoo It worked

Wed, 2 Sep 2009 8:56:0 EST

Last night i installed the latest PHP build and tested out the IAMP system within. Works fine. Now will be the hard work of actually getting it to pick up mail from the mailbox, parsing the message, sucking out the image attachment and inserting it as a blog entry.

Im excited!! Also, i will be off to Sydney this Friday morning. This will be my very 1st proper stay and visit to Sydney! Planning on taking aLLLLLLot of pictures! In case your wondering about my appearance this morning, its just a bit too bright for me today.

PHP how i sometimes loathe thee...

Tue, 1 Sep 2009 21:52:31 EST

I got home from a shwim at the sea baths and decided to try the whole Email to Blog. A while back i mused about configuring the blog so that i could send an email to an address, such as blah@blah.com and have the blog system convert the email into a blog entry. Kind of like an RSS feed but backwards. So half way though writing the code i figure, give it a go. Seems that the version of php im running doesn't have IMAP configured, therefore making my whole en devour a bit useless. After a few hours of sorting through manuals, forums and the php web site i decided to just blow away the current php directory and install a new later version instance. Lets see how that works out!

Rummor mill

Meet the new Apple Icrap. Its a recycled HP desktop, with a half eaten apple glued to it. WOrks great. First impressions, crunchy, tasty and tangy!

What really happened?

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:27:7 EST

As it turs out, my conspiracy theory wasnt too far off. Luka, the allmighty saviour of the 27th dimension, and currently a dog owned by a girl who lives with a friend, has saved the day. She flew out using her intergalactic strength gas, and closed the wormholes that were opened by the 2 employees of this office. Order was restored.

Waiting around

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:17:22 EST

I have been sitting in this loby for 20 minutes. There is no one in the office. How very weird! I called one of people that work here, she sais she was at home on a day off, but thought it was strange that there was no one here. Conspiracy theory: The workers all went out to lunch and left 1 person in the office. This poor dude, went to the bathroom to have a nice quiet log entry, when suddenly his huge dump opens a worm hole into another dimension, forever trapping him on a toilet seat. As the others return, someone lets off some gas in the lift and it ignites by a spark, from the lifts doors opening. The elevator explodes pushing all occupants out the roof of the building. Gladly they survive, but one of them pooed in his panths so hard, he too opened a worm hole into another dimention, therefore sucking them all in. Meanwhile, im still waiting, drinking my tea, eating my cookie.

Say what now?

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 10:28:11 EST

OOh what a rough Monday morning. I could barely get out of bed. When I finally got out of bed, the sky was gray. Whilst showering, I noticed that more snot came out of my left nostril in 1 minute then if I had the flu for a week. Then, i was hungry. But i couldn't eat because i was feeling so Monday-e. I had to make a log in the rest place before having my cup of tea and piece of hala. Before finally heading of to see a client for work. Oh man, work. I need to sleep for a bit more to get my head around stuff for this week. We are heading over to Sydney for a wedding this Friday. Might go earlier to see a few clients as well. Fun Fun!

On a different note, i ordered HP5+ and Delta, 2 x 30 Meter Spools! Should be hella fun when they get here.

Contemplating

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 13:39:41 EST

I do not want to be at work today. I want to go and swim in a big warm pool of water. Would be awesome if the water at the beach was warm enough to swim in today. Corporate work is so drudgeningly shity. Ive got this guy now, who is a techie from one software omapny. He is remotely trying to fix a problem on a workstation with his software. Only problem is that his software interfaces with 3 other software titles,all of which have shit to no support. I can tell he is just going to handball this to me any moment now. If he does, i might explode

Idiots, what this world would be without them

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 12:53:57 EST

Awesome! Thats what! Man today has really stretched me. Its only 1pm and I'm ready to murder the fuckwits that have made me so angry.

I know that i am the one who accepted the anger and let myself get angry, but thats a story for another day. There are a bunch of people that work for 1 of my clients, that just really know how to get under my skin. And i always let them...i don't know why they are so rude to me, its really their problem not mine.

Hope everyone else is having a better day than me so far

Bog or Blog?

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 9:54:57 EST

Last night i copped a bit of criticism for this blog. It was called, dirty, toilet humour etc... For todays entry, i thought about writting something with a little bit of substance. But then i remembered that no one really reads this, and that i really just do this to help pass time when im doing my bussiness. And another thing! I dont like the number 3 beeing refered to as 'doing a shit'. The word 'shit', in my opinion, has very negative meanings. When i do my bussiness, i dont want it to be described as a negative but as a positive. Some nuetral, be it childish, words i like are:

Doing a poo, Passing the bussiness, releiving oneself of waste material, using the bathroom, Number 3, etc...

No negatives. I see it as a very helthy part of human life. a cleansing of the body that in the end cleanses the mind.

Its raining EVERYTHING

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 17:25:36 EST

Woweeee. Its full on outside!

It takes how long?

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 9:17:42 EST

17 minutes is how long it takes for a short black to make a clean entry and exit from the top of my head to the tips of my toes. No seriously,its dangerous stuff. Not only do i feel like im moving at 10gs ,but the added thrust from my blog movements makes me worry. Is coffe not good for the belly?

Tuesdays...why oh why are wasting my time on this

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 9:14:25 EST

I have a client that has insited on weekly meetings about last weeks jobs. Trouble is that they tend to pick on you for the smallest thing. Sometimes, i just want to blow up the building they are in for even mentioning something so rediculously small and insignificant. Power saving on a desktop is not the fucking end of the world! I dont know why I have to deal with this kind of crap. Cant you people just work these things out for yourselves?

Em Es Gee

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:25:10 EST

Check this out. I was shopping for food at Kato on Sunday, i spotted this. Its 100% pure MSG. A whole bag full of crystals. Only $2.80. Imagine eating that whole bag,you would go nuts! Speaking of Nuts, Katos quality of nuts has gone downhill. Their Cashews are too hard and the soy crisps are kinda burnt.I was a little upset with the White melon i bought yesturday. It was all mushy inside, it was a waste of money,time and effort carrying that thing to Oxygens BBQ.

Its friday

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:13:14 EST

Wooo. Yeah! Ok. so i got a roll of double 8mm for my new toy and im gona give it a swirl tomaraa!

Postcard Received

Very awesome Mr. A! Very awesome!!! Love getting written mail dude!

The morning Bog report

Thu, 20 Aug 2009 10:29:9 EST

Before leaving hope i went to the bathroom, and had a smooth movement that left me feeling fresh as can be for a rainy mMelbourne morning. Then i had a short black, that was like 15 minutes ago, and i pretty much had to run to the bathroom at work, or a thunderous explosion would have destroyed my clients offices. Wow coffee really gets you moving, if you catch my drift. Also, Mr. A think i missed ure call last nite? wasnt sure if it was cool to call u back on the same number.

8mm of Awesome!

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:14:35 EST

Nice work Mr. A! Thanks heaps, hope it didnt set u back much. Seems to work perfectly, even the light meter works. Shutter is ok,the aperetaure is ok,lense is riddled with fungus, but that doesnt really matter much.

My Policy on Gifts vs My Policy on Free Stuff

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:59:12 EST

I have a very simple policy on Free Stuff. If its not bolted down, its free. And free is free. If its is free i will almost always take it and accept it. Par the normal free things that no one wants, I wont list them.

My policy on gifts is much grayer. I am of the opinion that one must give more than one must take. I understand that even in a perfect world that would create a lot of gifts that no one excepts and partially contradicts my theories.

Why this post...well, Moon Moon just picked up a parcel from the post office bearing the mark of Mr. A. Now i know its not what i asked him for, because the cops would be all over Moon Moon if it was. It says Video Camera, MR. A? What are you doing man? Its not my beef day! Anyway, I'm sure its gona be awesome whatever it is. If i was getting shit pissed all over Europe you can bet your ass i would send you shit back to OZ Mr. A. I made sure Moon Moon wouldn't open it, so the excitement endures! I hope i thought you enough about concealing stuff into other stuff!

Exit Strategy

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:33:5 EST

I used to think about this allot a few years back. It was usefull to have a parachute plan in case something i did backfired in a bad way. On another note, is there such as thing as backfire in a good way?

Having that ticket to Mexico in case you screwed up or having that wad of cash in case you got fired, or having that backup in case your computer got fryed. All these things were part of my daily routine. Back when i was dodgier then now and dodgier than thou. Haha kinda like holier than thou,but in a dodgy way. Its interesting to go through the days and see so many exit signs, but not have and relevant exit strategy on hand. On the other hand, this could all be a ploy in my exit strategy....i am in the toilet,where i do my best plotting.

Can you feel the doom closing in?

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 10:24:14 EST

I kinda do. Its amazing what a nights sleep can do to calm ones mind. Its tuesday again, im at work again and im doing the same thing i do on tuesdays, again. I skipped breakfast today, wasnt hungry because i was still full from last nights feast with Moon Moons parentsss. I have had a banana, a sweet lady finger banana. Mmmm sweet fruit. I suppose it will soon be time for that morning blog entry, if you know what i mean. I think that time is now.

No Your not seeing double

This is a Nomlet. Its tasy as brew. I made it myself!

Saw a movie, liked it

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 10:48:15 EST

Saw District 9 last nite. I really liked it. There was not a single famouse actor in the whole film, i was on the dge of my seat almost every few minutes and the plot was great. I had pretty high exspectations for the film from the previews. It was obvious that it was a low budget, non holiwood afair, and these kinds of films are usualy good. I was not disapointed. The story was original and the acting was belivable and very emotional at times. Oh yeah and i have probably been beaten to it my the Moon, but DRUNK TIGA

Bloging from Denise and Oriens bog

What do laundromats and weapons have in common?

Fri, 14 Aug 2009 8:49:24 EST

They other day i was standing at a laundromat looking at the adds for Speed Queen washers. Speed queen make probably the largest number of washers and dryers for commercial laundry. Under the add, you see in very large writing

'Speed Queen - A subsidiary of Raytheon Systems'

Raytheon are a world manufacturer of Weapon systems..Think about it the next time you do your load of washing.

Im too bussy trying to enlighten myself. One thing thats for sure, its sunny, a touch warmer, the air smells cleaner than usual. I hav almost touch summer now.

New Dlink 2 bay Sata NAS drives...My Review

Wed, 12 Aug 2009 14:44:39 EST

My boss gave one of these to me and asked me to evaluate it. We get allot of near gear on Eval to test out at clients. This is a nice looking Network Attatched Storage box. After unpacking and having used the smaller single bay unit,i thought it would be pretty uneventfull. My usualy response to eval products is iether a Yes we use it or a no its shit send it back. Ffrom my experience with this im going to give you 2 reviews. One of a person who knows a bit about computer hardware,such as myself. and one from the point of view from your every day avarage computer user...

My Review: It took me about 20 minutes to get this thing operational. It lost its IP address setting 3 times,it wouldnt except any new settings from the interface,the web interface just wasnt there every 2nd time you tried to open it etc... AFter fucking around with it and getting frustrated,i updated the firmware to this YEARS version (cant believe they would send this thing out with shitty firmware) and found things to work properly. I was finaly able to do stuff,like use the bloody thing. Its pretty basic,nothing to it but a NAS box,but thats a good thing. I Think they go for about $300 with no drives. I wouldnt recomend it, seems a bit flaky to me

Layman Review: What the hell is this shit, its got no hard disks, oh man i gota buy disks oh crap..After returning from the store with a sata drive...oh what this isnt working. fuck it im returning this piece of shit

A strange dream

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 9:42:13 EST

How often have you woken up with the after thoughts of a strange dream. On another note i think that any dream feels strange, the two words go together. Last night,i dreamt a dream that was alltogether loony. I was on a high cliff looking over qa small country town. I could recognize a few people here and there,i was even able to speak to them somehow through the distance. I remember having said to a couple, hey i can hear you how cool. So anyway, a strange and uncorfortable feeling floated around me. A dark, almost dirty man, in dark clothes approached me. He seemed very familiar with me and vice versa. He began to discuss the faults of manking in their present state. He began to tell me that I was not a man but a perfect biological machine. He said 'You are better than man,cleaner and have infinite compassion within you'. At this stage he ban to assemble a smal white plqastic device. It looked very intricate, beggining as a bunch of solid plates that looked like a snake, and proceeded to fold it into a perfect square. The square began to float and its inside became dark. He said, if you hear the voice of G-D your infinitel compassionate will emerge from its deep slumber.

Ilford Plastika Circa 1930-40s

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 23:15:59 EST

This paper i got on ebay was first launched in the late 1930. I doubt the paper is that old, id say maybe 60s looking at the package...

Ran my 1st prints on it tonight and WOW! So many years later, a sealed pack, exposes perfectly!. bright high contrast pictures, smooth glossy finish on the paper. Its not too papery either, as in it doesn't feel like news paper after its gone through 4 baths. My 1st test was a tiny test strip of moon moon. Came out perfectly. And my actual 1st full size print was of Mr W. at Hanging Rock. They don't make stuff like that anymore

Old paper

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:48:48 EST

Got myself some oldschool BW paper on ebay. Only a 10 pack but it looks like its from the 60s or something. There is a price tag on the bottom left that says 65c from Michaels Photography and Chemist store. Haha didnt know that michaels used to be a pharmacy as well. Pretty funny. Benn thinking lately of putting in an automated blog system. Instead of entering a blog via an admin page id like to email a blog entry to the serevr and get it to automaticaly parse it....May have issues but hey lets give it a shot

Balancing Creativity

Wed, 5 Aug 2009 10:43:52 EST

My list of creative hobbies is big. Not as big as others but big.

Drawing
Making Music

Its actually pretty small when you look at it. But its so encompassing. I have trouble finding time to give each task a correct balance. Its like having 3 friends and each one of them being jealous of one another in my head. I think the problem really is or restlessness and neuroses.

When i sit to make music, i think of how crappy I am at it and that i should be focusing on my photography. When i shoot, develop or print pictures i think of how I should be making music or drawing. Its hell sometimes. A personal hell.

OMG OMG - The exageration for the y generation

Tue, 4 Aug 2009 9:59:46 EST

I had a few emails this morning from one of my clients. Frantic emails, with lots of OMG and TWIO(the world is over)...Here is a little snippet of what went down..

'The files are missing,our whole year of accounting data is gone,we are screwed,they suddenly dissappeared last night,ill go put the back up take and you restore them'....

So I loged onto the server,looked around and did some snooping. The company data files are sitting there,undamaged,unmoved,untouctouched. So i login as the user,look in the recycling bin and see the shortcuts to the program they use to open the data.....so i call them back..

me-'so are you missing the shortcuts to the program or the actual data'

them-'the data,we are screwed....no wait whats a shortcut??'

So i restore the shortcuts, call them back and am cheered on..Sometimes i wonder if i should have goten out of bed at all

The paradox of change

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:16:59 EST

Mr. A has brought to my attention a little thought. If I am always saying 'This will also change' in terms of a statement that generalizes the world around us, will i even change and stop saying it? I think that I obviously will. Change is inevitable so I, allong with everyone else, will also change. Its easier to handle for some of us and dredgingly hard for others. Having spoken to a few people about that saying, i get quite steady feedback. People who have gone to do a Vipassana course have always say that people who have not done it, percieve the aboce saying as derogatory. As if one is speaking down to you. I have had personal experience beeing told by close friends to shut the fuck up and stop beeing all self rightious about it. But change is not something you force upon yourself or others,its not something you let happen or something you can controll. Its just something tht Happens. Its occurance is garanteed. So my advice is, dont fear it, accept it and eperience it

The first step is to...

Thoughts for a tuesday

Tue, 28 Jul 2009 9:32:41 EST

The weather outside is realy nice today. Sunny,smells nice,bit chilly but ok. But inside is a whole other shitstorm. Oh my g-d i installed Office 2003 instead of 2007...aaaaaahhhh. Lets all overreact and throw a kiddy tantram about fucking up and the like. I sometimes wonder about the sanity and balance of some of these guys. Its stuff like that, it really drives you up the wall, and you really have to try hard to say to yourself 'this will also change'. Because in the real wolrd, yes this will also change. I spoke to one of them today after i got a really waking sms fronm work last nite. And all was fine, the storm was settled,there wasnt even a wind...ooops theres some wind. So whats my lesson today..The same as every other day. These specs of dust that land on the surface of your existance are nothing but dust that will eventualy get blown away by a cool breeze. Sure some may settle on the surface for a while, but know and know well, that will also change. Everything changes all the time, everywhere.

Early monday

Mon, 27 Jul 2009 11:3:24 EST

Had to get up pretty early today, didnt like it. Did not like getting stuck in traffic and beeing late anyway. DId not like having to rush breakfast. Did not like having to drink only 1 cup of tea. DO not like the guy in the next cubicle who just rocket fartet his way out of the stall. I am pretty awake though, and i like that

Sunday Sunday....ta daaaaa ta da da da

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 15:8:34 EST

Yes,its Sunday again. Man the weekend always seems to fly when your having fun. Im doing my laundry today, as can be seen in the picture. This laundramat isnt usualy so bussy,every machine is in use, and im using 2 dryers at once!! A coupld of new things a couple of old things...Got some cool little action figures at an op-shop yesturday with J. One of them is a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Tigrzord robot, complete with laser sounds, red lights and decals. The other was a smaller Transformers Beast wars White Bear, cant remember the name of the figure, ill have to check 4chan again. I have been working with Reason 4 lately, as mentioned in a previous post when i got that cool MIDI Knobinator! Im going to call it the Knobinator from now on...I also did a trade with J for his 47key Midi Keayboard. SO now i have a pretty nicely decked out desk that is far to small to acomodate my horizontal organizational structure AND Moon Moons surgey clean laptop workbench environment. So today i say, spin spin spin so i can go home and do interesting things. Bodzin rocks! listening to Puck!

Auditor webinars are LAME. So boring..rrribit....Poor auditors. The people must have nerves of steel to deal with this boring corporate red tape

My time could be better utilized

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 11:43:59 EST

So I have been organizing this webinar (web based video/voice call/meeting/conference) all week. Technicaly speaking its easier then sending an email but corporate australia is scare of technology so one has to heard these people into the right direction. Im currently sitting in on this conference call. There are 5 people in this room and 6 other offices with about 5 people per office. I have to say that i do like my job sometimes, i am pretty much just getting pai to sit there and look pretty. At the same time,i could be doing something more usefull and utilizing my efforts to do actual problem solving. On the other hand, its a friday, my lip is bleeding a bit from that bastard of a monitor stand and Im still pretty sleepy. Oooh and i got a massive freddo frog chocolate..mmmmmmm

Im using a MAC

Monitor stand 1 - Leon 0

Fri, 24 Jul 2009 10:19:54 EST

Man i got hit in the lip by a mean ass monitor stand today. Was removing a hue jazz 24 inch screen of one of them fancy corporate dual screen stands. The last screw saw the whole thing happen. The stand had a spring, which i was unaware off. This spring happens to be VERY strong and hits me right in the mouth. After a bit of bleeding and a very soar bottom lip. I'm not happy. Monitor stand 1, Leon 0.

Sheeple just want to be like other sheeple

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 10:46:56 EST

Even if it meand they are doing it wrong! I had a client ask me last week to set up a way for their small office (10 people) to have a shared calendar for a boardroom. So i did, I set up a nifty public folder which everyone can access to add appointments, check if the boardroom is in use before booking it etc... The response i got whas this...'BUT at the last company i worked at,i just sent a meeting invitation to the boardroom and everything miraculously worked'. Man corporates are really anoying sometimes. Ask me for advice only to buy the $2 one. Cant stand that kind of mentality. Its a breeding ground for ignorance, buck passing and the general followwing system these corporate type WORSHIP.

Enslaving corporate sheeple

The changed face of meetings in corporate Australia

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 11:26:24 EST

Part of my job often involves doing this that are not really IT in nature, but utilize IT. Its kind of like when you ar ethe only guy in the house who knows how to program the VCR then everyone is goign to ask you for help on how to watch the TV. One of the biggest issues i have been finding is with meetings. One of our larger clients is hosting a big training session where 7 state offices will join remotely. Its taken mee over 2 weeks now to get everyone organized and talking properly. From a technological perspective, you dont need much. Just a computer that has internet acces and a sound card! Most people are so afraid of their computers these days, they will palm the work off to the IT not because its their job but becaus ethey are lazy and dont want to use their brains a little bit to expand their minds. A good example of this is one of the Directors of this client. Aftre using a popular service called Goto Meeting, i wont post a likn unless they give me a free acount, he realized its potential and without any IT advice asked me if he could use this to teach HIS clients remotely how to use particular software, or how to do something on a securities web site etc... This guy used his brain a little and got a llot out of it. I think thats what seperates the sheeple from the people. That and all of you who use Iphones...Baaaaaa

To think that back in the day everything i did was post production. Sampling, recording individual tracks and then mastering them. Pfft. Anyway, eventually ill post some tracks online for you all to have a gander at. Big thanks to Mr. Willis for the Compression tutorial

Tomorrow morning, our Brazilian friend leave Melbourne for what we hope is the last time. We hope he will return to us and stay with us. But im not one to cut someones wings. If you love something you mut set it free. I also know that he wont be able to resist the charms of our Oxygen and that in the grand scheme of things i will probably see him again. ALl things must change, always and forever. If theres one thing we can all agree on is that change is inevitable. Goodluck on your journeys and adventures Mr. Zed!

Winter is getting to me

Thu, 9 Jul 2009 16:7:31 EST

Its been so cold lately that its effecting me. Today, i was barely able to get out of bed let alone dropping my daily bog entry. I was pretty cruddy the wholeday and when i eventualy did it, it was small and unsatisfying. I had to drive to roxbarough park in the morning. Then i had to drive to nunawadding. Fucking nunawadding, its like across the entire city. To some dumb ass biatch who decided to the advise of her boyfirend, who is an it conultant, and fuck up her computer so much so that its not fixable. Now it has to be wiped and reformated. Why the fuck shouldd i do this. The dumbasses that populate the corporate world astound mee.

Early morning bike riding...

Wed, 8 Jul 2009 15:16:34 EST

No matter what, ridding down the beach road in the morning, before the sun has had a chance to warm up the day, is really cold. My hands started to feel so cold that my fingers began to solidify. Each finder tip was turning into a small cold rock. I had to stop once and use the heat from the bikes engine to warm up. Thank the engeneers for air cooling on this baby. Today would mark the 1st day that i have ridden my bike in 2009 in such a cold temperature. It was and still is a gorgeous day outside. Its cold but sunny. And Deniz, bet u cant guess where i am at the moment? Ill give you a clue, im sitting down....

Havnt done one of these in a while

Tue, 7 Jul 2009 10:20:36 EST

Hello! Oh man its cold and its early this morning. Tuesdays are kinda evil. They proceed to torture you after mondays and show you that there is heaps of time left till the weekend. Went to the Astor last night and saw Apocalypse Now ( the redux ). It was almost 3 and half hours long! I wasn't bored for any of it though, awesome movie.

Its like a Typo but with clip art. This is a common poster on corporate shared kitchenette. If you are done with your cup, empty it and put it into the dishwasher. Look closely at the 1st picture, where the guy empties the cup....Its actually a very common instructional picture from Film Development Tanks. What really gives it away is the little clock in the top left hand corner! Try and spot that one!!!!

Trying out Ableton Live V8

Sun, 5 Jul 2009 22:23:1 EST

Have a listen to this, its 16 seconds and only 600k. This is my 1st attempt at using Ableton Live V8. My Desktop doest really hack it so well, I had 3 instruments running and a 4th made it stutter into BSOD'ness. Sooo i reckon ill try running on this on my tiny little net book, its WAAAY more powerfully then my desktop....need new computer now...Its been calling me for years, but I cant afford my dream machine just yet. I'm thinking a dual quad core with 8gb ram, 16gb SSD for the system and a descent video card. I'm a RAM and CPU man...Gota thank Ken for introducing me to this application. its pretty cool. Takes me back to rebirth. I tried using Resin a few times but it was too heavy and too ugly. It also had a very specific sound that was hard to get out of, kind of like rebirth. Before ableton, i use to set up individual analogue synts, set up a melody and record it through whatever effects i needed. They all went to a multi track sequencer, i used Acid Pro at the time. I should almost always use the rebirth 909 drum machine, back in the day! What a sound that had! But i was a sample man, when i was making music, synths were fore the wealthy, and i didn't have much money. ts-404, rebirth, rubber duck, drummer boy, hammer head, acid pro, these were my tools. And who could forget Cool Edit.

I sometimes overlook my chosen nieche. So when it comes and if im still alive, you can bet ill be the guy trying to get a computer system up and running, dodgy or not. If it were my choosing, it would be the dodgy way. Its just so much sexyier when you can see the guts of these machines and pull on the levers, push all the buttons without constantly having to pull off the beauty covers. Hopefuly Destro will find a good use for me, even if i dont have a gun or a gun licence.

Monday again

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 10:59:33 EST

Last week kind of swished by. I wish it had actualy made that noise though. The weekend went by just as fast, well a lot faster considering it was only 2 days. I learned a few things over the weekend,some that shocked me,some that surprise me and some that bored me. One thing i learned was that the mushroom and veg dumplings i have been getting from the chappel street fruit grocer have HEAPS of MSG. Which is why they are so tasty, after all. But after polishing of a pack with aronson, i was not feeling the best. Shalow breathing, heart rate skyrocketed, needed to drink and quench the unquenchable thirst in my mouth. The key to these delicious dumplings is not to eat half a bag of them in 1 sitting! I learned that Yossi has been married,iether this week or over the weekend. I saw a photo from his something-book that nik showed me. Couldnt see much though. Well...good on you yo and lay! Wishing you a lifetime of hapiness.

This morning, I was pretty shocked to hear that Michael Jackson had died. Wow..Michael Jackson has died! Crazy. I did not think he would die so young. One of the gerates musicians of all time, especialy pop music. The 1st song i heard of his would have to have been thriller. I remember my sister had that red jacket with the removable sleaves on it, when i was little. Crazy! I think a Michael Jackson party shoudl be held soon...Dang

Some things about Hot Air Ballooning

Mon, 22 Jun 2009 15:59:41 EST

I went on my 1st hot air balloon ride on Sunday. It was cold, we had to get up at 4am and drive for an hour and a half, and whilst it was pretty cool, all up I would NOT recommend it. Its one of those things you gota do once, especially for the price, it just isn't justified:

The company we went with was called Global Ballooning. DON'T USE THEM. The entire experience was full of cautions, waring, terms and conditions. At no time did i actually feel welcomed or like a passenger on a ride. I felt like they were doing US a favor by flying the thing for us
After we paid for the tickets, they sent us some documents, 99% of which were how they would get away with ripping us off. The can cancel the flights at any time for any reason and not tell us the reason. If they cancel the flight you loose your money(unless you paid $80 more for your tickets), if the wether is bad you loose your money, if you dont show up you loose your money, you cant even move the flight booking!!!
Before arriving, we had to check if the flight was still going ahead, fair enough if the whether is bad they cancel on us. So we call on Saturday night and the message said, WE DON'T KNOW IF ITS GOING AHEAD PLEASE CALL US AT 5:15 AM. IF IT IS GOING AHEAD YOU MUST BE AT THE LAUNCH SITE AT 6:15am! OK, so the launch site is like an hour an a half away form us, it meant we had to start driving at 4:30 and make the call half way there
So we got there, flight was not canceled, we got all our stuff together they drove us to the launch site and then they put everyone to work. Now for $300 per person I DO NOT WANT TO DO ANY WORK. They were even joking about how if we didn't help out we wouldn't get our breakfast. I will never use this company again for this specific reason
The flight was good, it was very calm, i felt comfortably squashed into the basket with way to many people. The landing was soft, the pilot was a pro, that was obvious.
Then we get our breakfast...oh man. Not only did ours arrive about 20 minutes after everyones else's (probably because we wanted no meat in ours) but it was CRAP! 2 soggy pieces of bread, with soggy luke warm eggs, a huge mushroom half a tomatoe. Camon people, I GOT UP AT 4am I'm efing hungry for real food!

All up, im REALLY glad Mon like the ride however!

Bloging at 1400 Feet

Corporate chairs are awesome

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:58:21 EST

I really like this chair. If it wsa free, I would definitely take it. Its so comfortable. My back is nicely held and i look and feel all corporate and such. Go do this and run that to here, and so on and so forth. All I need now is a pacycheck from this company for doing nothign but sitting in this chair, in this office....Maybe a glass of whisky also....And i would get rid of the blinds

The machine uprising

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 9:55:31 EST

See that sign on this candy machine? It says Please dont shake me. It says that for goog reason. Every time you put money into it, Youre candy gets stuck because the machibe doesnt work very well. This doesnt happen all the time but i would say that you dont get your candy more often then you do. I have learned a new trick however...Untill the machine uprising,i am pretty sure mr candy machine cant feel anything as is not booby traped with a high pitched alarm everytime you shake him. SO as long as none is looking...BANG, right in the kisser!! I want my candy damit!

Todays Challenge...

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:25:11 EST

I get one every other day or week, depending on how my luck goes. Todays is a server that is doing very very strange things. So strange that im confused and about to give up royaly. I went to have a nize little pizza for lunch and came back to see that the solution to the problem only exasperated the issue further. I cant even ping the router. WTF? I get really sick of this stuff sometimes,its like im working for the machines and not so much for the people that own them. Its a strange thing, peoples reliance on this stuff is catastrophic. I would hate to see what would happen if the internet dropped out for the cbd for an hour...madness.

The things I get asked about

Wed, 17 Jun 2009 10:58:19 EST

So, they ask, do you know much about phones? And i go, sure i know how to dial a phone number, do you? I am astounded. I know what they are really asking is...Do you know enough about phones to recomend a specific model for me? Why dont you people just ask me that and stop beating around the bush. Speaking of beating around te bush, i wonder if that saying reffers to getting animals out of a bush in the garden. Like i fyou had a big bush and a rabit hiding inside, and you didnt really wana kill it, so you got your gun and started shooting around teh outside of teh bush. SO yor mate woul go, stop beating around teh bush and kill it!! I think thats where it came from but i could definitely be wrong about that.

Today marks the day when we half book out tickets. We have just confirmed bookings for the 20th of November from London to Sierra Leone. Now we need to organize the Melbourne to London tickets and about $10k for a solar system before august! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

The Police

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:2:6 EST

They get beat up by 17 year olds in the city of melbourne and cant seem to work out why there is so much violence in melbourne. I was on Chappel street on the weekend and i only saw 1 (marked) police car. They shoudl be patrolling these kind of areas. Also, wankers shoudl not be allowed on the street in melbourne. or into venues. Especialy venues im attending.

WOw did i goto a shitty place to eat last nite. No offence Oxygen,but the food was terrible at Ho Tran,or whatever it was called. Beeing a veggeterian,all the dishes looked like snot and worms. Im sure if i could eat meat i would have enjoyed it though,as everyone else seemed to. Now im paying for my acts, you know where. Oxygen, i blame you!

I own new shoes

Tue, 9 Jun 2009 15:41:20 EST

Its a blog, and It's my blog, and I will post whatever I want on it. I got a new pair of shoes on the weekend.A pair of Dr. M's Boots. They are way to stiff at the moment, but i feel a real purpose when i walk in them. A few things i would like to rant on about today:

Internet Explorer 7 on Windows 2008 will not allow Active-X until you rape it or install another browser! This drove me up the wall today, thank g-d for chrome. Google Chrome not the kind you do from a spray can.
ASUS rack servers do not have the on board BIOS update ROM...This is annoying, because if they make a server, that will run a server operating system, why not include a program for such an operating system to do an online or offline bios update, which i really need to do!

Thats pretty much it for now...

Ghosts....ooooh....or sloppy photography

Tue, 9 Jun 2009 10:1:33 EST

Have a good look at the picture on the left. Im not going to comment directly on this pic but i will use it to show you something more sinister. Channels 9 and A Current Affairs(or whatever its called). G-d aweful reporting and fake stories are just the tip of the iceburg with these people. They have a prime time slot on TV and what do they show?? A story about a woman,who after a 'near death experience' has the ability to hear ghosts through her 'right ear only'. Now im not going to doubt her ability/disability here,but what really pissed me off was the examples they were using. Late at night the camera crew is filming the lady at a cemetry. She walking around and randomly taking photos with her little poin and shoot compact digital camera. She then shows the picture to a scared reported who sees things in the picture. Not only was this misleading,but outright BULLSHIT. She had the camera set on a very long exposure,id say about half a second. She also used a flash and her iso was set to 800 i would say. The way she was taking the photos would garantee ghosting,motion and weird things on the picture. Try it yourself. ACA..YOU GUYS ARE LAME and FULL of SHIT!

How much fun do you think this is?

Check out my new bike panTHs

Fri, 5 Jun 2009 13:45:52 EST

These be my brand spanking new, tailor made leather motorbike panTHs. I had these made by a company called MARS leather on Elizabeth street. The company makes motorbike gear for the Victoria police and these panTHs are the same ones the bike police wear! I had them put in a few more safety features though. The original kneepads are pretty soft, i doubt they would really do anything if i landed on my knees. I had some more sturdy ones put in. I noticed they put in some side bum pads also, but these are bit uncomfortable, ill have to move them around a bit. All up they are pretty nice. The leather is pretty soft and they fit perfectly. I have the day of work today because of my random wisdom tooth. One of the bastards has pretty much been growing at 90 degrees to the last tooth in my mouth and has pretty much crushed it. So i have get the damaged one fixed/removed...I was in heaps of pain this morning...hope the dentist can fix this.

Corporate ideas...

Wed, 3 Jun 2009 11:20:30 EST

They dont get it! They just dont get it. I have had a few emails today from a certain client. A large corporate office, smart people. I was asked to disable notifications from their mail AV scanner, because 99% of these were just telling them that spam has been detected. However, when they do happen to get that 1% of legitemate mail,the scream and shout and work up a fuss as to why they were not notified that it was blocked.....oh my. They keep me in the money,thats for sure.

A nightly bog entry

Tue, 2 Jun 2009 20:12:00 EST

Doing a server migration tonight. A simple data move from an old server to a ne one. A few more hours to go. Hopefully everything will run smoothly.

I have contoll

Mon, 1 Jun 2009 14:5:37 EST

Pretty bloody obvious!

Thats a nice view huh?

Fri, 29 May 2009 12:14:49 EST

I have been sitting here for a few hours now waiting for this bullshit to finish. I did step out for an hour for lunch and to ty on my brand new pair of bike leather panths. The panTHs will be ready next friday,but i had to try them on befoe they stitched them up completely. They look and feel awesome. I went to the same company that makes Victoria Police's Bike gear. But i got mine made black not blue...dont wana get pulled over and questioned about where i got my panTHs from. On another note, Yo is leaving Melbourne for a month and we be having a din dins party at my place. If your invited, you know where i live.

You learn somethign new every day

Thu, 28 May 2009 10:35:21 EST

I was reading this comic, its one of my morning favorites, and stumbled upon a new word. A word which I SHOULD know because its my favorite thing to do. Almost every day, i have breakfast. A few hours later i will have another little snack. Usually consisting of something sweet and some tea. In the UK they have this thing called 'Elevenses'!! How good is that! I wonder if its an actual thing they do in the corporate world. Like you come to work, a few hours later everyone goes for Elevenses. Then you go back to work and an hour later you goto lunch....If only!

Now thats a Thin server

Mon, 25 May 2009 17:27:6 EST

The company i work for are tryling an Asus 1u rack mount server. Wow its so thin! And without the Hard disks its so light. Its so light that i had to open it and make sure we were not sent an empty shell. Proper server manufacturers such as IBM and HP should take heed and maybe make their servers slightly lighter. I dont need them bulletproof,just solid enogh to sit there. And if i need to move them,i dont want to have to ask for someones help. These asus models look cheap,dont get me wrong. It has a quad core xeon with what looks like 4gb of ram, 4 full size sata slots and i assume it has some sort of RAID array BIOS. If i needed a server and i had a rack,id get this one,but if someone asked for my advice,i would not recomend it. Mind you i havnt even turned it on. Idiots forgot to ship the HDD's.

Testing the Weza

Tue, 26 May 2009 23:16:51 EST

I ran a few tests on the Weza and came up with a really optimistic figure:

At peak kicking it generates Approximately 14V @ 14Amps

Now if you have someone kicking it constantly for 1 hour we can charge 9 XO-OLPC's half way, But an hour of full ball kicking is going to wear anyone down. I would guestimate that a modest kick for an hour would happily charge 5-6 at a time half way. Here us a video of the tests I conducted:(thanks to Mr. A for the oscilloscope, and the kicking)

Sun, 24 May 2009 16:56:41 EST

Drove to Woori Alok today on my bike. Stopped to take some photos at this field. These 3 cows almost ran up to me and just stood there checking me out. I realized afterwards it must have something to do with my RED bike jacket..

1 Step Forward

Sun, 24 May 2009 1:17:25 EST

Part of the FreeCollective project I'm involved in is about generating power for all the equipment. One of the devices we are looking at using is the Freeplay Weeza:

This thing is great, it has a 12v 10amp output, that you can plug anything you like into. The device itself has a 12v lead acid battery inside that is charged with a dynamo generator. You simply step on it and it charges. You have to step on it for a while to get the charge going proper, but its still pretty good considering you get free electricity. Plug an inverter in and you have yourself a completely portable power socket. I could run a 60w bulb of the thing, but because the battery was not fully charged i had to keep pumping it. I'm going to try to create a charging rack for the laptops. The OLPC's we are using consume 12v at 1.2amps, that means i can pull around 6-8 laptops on this thing.

The taking appart of a Prism

Fri, 22 May 2009 9:47:53 EST

Im slowly working out how to use the camcorder properly and experimenting with different effects and procedures in Premier. This video is pretty cheesy and can be made by anyone who opens up premier for the 1st time, but it thought it should still be online.

Here, i dismantle a Kiev TTL Spot Metered Prism. These are made in Russia, i think they still make the, because i bought this one packaged and pretty much fresh from the factory. They are part of the Kiev range of Medium Format Cameras. I have heard a lot of very negative reviews on this brand, but i always left it alone because everyone seems to love bagging Russian stuff... Especially Americans. My experience with the Zenit range of cameras has been nothing but fantastic. This hunk of crap, however was useless from the start. I bought it to use it as a metered prism for a Hasselblad body. However the prism was so badly made that its focal point is about 5mm off and meant that if i looked through the prism into the camera everything was blurry. Selling it on ebay would be useless, so i thought lets take it appart:

It took me 30 minutes to take it apart. The quality of this thing can only be said to be shite. If something inside this was faulty and you wanted to replace or adjust it, good luck. By the time you got into it, there is NO chance it could be reassembled. The screws were ripped apart when taken out, I would say that about 60% were totally un-usable again. Some couldn't even be removed and needed to be snapped off. The prism itself was also of not the best quality. It was not glass, but some sort of plastic (which i think most modern ones are anyway) but it was badly sealed and you could see light leaks from the top. Anwyay hope you enjoyed the video. It was sped up form 30minutes to 5 minutes and the track is by Tressor, don't know the name, i pulled it from a record years ago.

Russian Snack Time

Thu, 21 May 2009 12:19:4 EST

Next time i will consolidate my entries here, looks more like a twitter, coughTWANKERS cuogh. Anyway, I saw this in the morning, whilst i was havign breakfast. Its a short list of starters that you will find on most Russian dinner tables:

Top 15 Russian Appetizers

My favorites would have to be the Pickles, Caviar, Tomatoes, Borcht, Shashliks (before i became a non meat consumer) and the Black bread. Its not really listed as a single entry, but it should be! The herring is good, but not pickled, not a fan of that. And the SALA oh man, that is the worst thing on the planet, no wait the HOLODETZ is even worse. YUCK!

This is also for Mr. A

Thu, 21 May 2009 12:1:30 EST

Look on ebay for gum balls from the US!

Here.

And Here Still cant get over the fact that you bought a REAL old school gum ball machine and put chocolate balls into it!

On a more positive note check this out. Its your exact gum ball machine on ebay for $10 with 6 days to go. I'm curious how much it will fetch! Maybe ill buy one and fill it with GUM BALSL! And dispense them for free!!!!!!!! mWAAHAHHHAAAHAHAHA

Ice cold!! Also,what do you think,the wall or the floor? Ill let you decide. If i have time,ill chuck up a video of me taking appart a russian Kiev brand viewfinder for the Kiev MF Camera. I initialy bought it for Mr. P's Blad,but it was such a crappy viewfinder...

The BSOD and how it should be improved

Mon, 18 May 2009 14:35:11 EST

The BSOD, yes THE is a good prefix for it, is the Blue Screen of Death. Its a standard part of the Windows OS that kicks in anytime the machine wants a rest. I have no idea what stop error X0.0000xab means damit. Why couldnt they put in some simple troubleshooting tips,like Hi,im not feeling good today,im not going to work untill you work out which one of the 3 trillion things is wrong with me. That would be better then IRQ_NOT_LESS_THEN_OR_EQUAL_TO. What the hell does that mean?? Im not a layman when it comes to computers but camon Microsoft. I gota sit here and wait for 10 minutes to work out why this server is constantly BSODing...Its not even a software issue i bet. Ill have to call IBM and get one of their goons to poke around inside and tell me that he has no idea whats wrong with it so he will replace every component inside. Furthermore, he will tell me how he does not know how what he just did(replace the hardware) fixed the problem.Im sick of this shit,i really am.

Got me a CamCorder

Sun, 17 May 2009 22:59:47 EST

OK. This is going to be a test thing for me. I bought a little MiniDV Camera on the weekend from Cash converters, mainly because I have always wanted a video camera but could never be bothered to fork out so much cash for one. I got this baby for $200 AUD. Not too shabby. Made a few test shots and cut them together with some cool music. You know the same shit that everyone on you tube does when then first get a camera. I would like to appologize in advance to Z and Mr. P and everyone else who can edit video properly...yes is this is piss poor, but its just a test. A nother teset is embedding the video in this entry, lets see how that goes:

Its been a pretty flaky week

Check it out! Im dubbing Umaguma to this reel. Sounds pretty good for something from the 70s

Flatter then a pancake

Thu, 14 May 2009 15:12:55 EST

That is how flat out i have been today. Dont get me wrong though,i enjoy a challange. Sometimes i enjoy 2 or 3 at a time. But when it gets to be more than that at the same time,it gets difficult. Mr. A tells me my reel to reel tapes have arrived,will be an interesting evening tonight,getting all that stuff working. I think the 1st thing i will record onto that is Pink Floyds Wish you were here album. No i lye there. The first thing i want to do is to test the tapes frequency response. The reel to reel player is rated at 30hz to 30khz,thats curious...I cant hear above 25khz anyway,but it makes a prettybig difference. Will run some synth tests.

Pirating music vs Purchasing music

Wed, 13 May 2009 9:22:39 EST

Hi, and welcome to Wednesday. I would like to give you s small glimpse into last night. One often wonders, why do people pirate music, whats wrong with these pirates. arrrr!!! Well, ill shut all of you up right now:

So Mon, tels me that she heard this really cool song on 106.7 PBS FM, last night. She tells me that she cant find it anywhere and if i could help her download it. When she said download she doesn't mean for free, she just wanted a copy! So i begin the search.

If your interested, the guy we were after was named Bill Laswell. The song she wanted was 'Cucumber Slumber' ( look that up on urban dictionary by the way). The album it was on was by a group Bill was in called Material and the album was called Hallucination Engine. Sounded good, so we began looking!

Itunes did not have this album or song
MSN Music had it, but only if you had a ZUNE
AMAZON MP3 downlaod had it, but only if you lived in the US and only if you download their proprietry mp3 download software.DRM FREE MY ASS
Ebay did not have it, wait i lied there, there was 1 copy in germany, i couldnt understand if the postage was 3euro or 30euro, so i wasnt going to take that risk

So then we both said, fuck it lets just download it. Niether mininova, emule or any other sites i usually visit had this guy!!!! WHAT?? After 40 minutes, we eventualy bought the cd USED from amazon for a cool $14, 40 minutes damit!!! CAMON!!!!

Doing 3 things at once?

Tue, 12 May 2009 19:25:56 EST

An alternate breakfast

Tue, 12 May 2009 8:3:52 EST

I was planning to go for a shwim this morning,but at 6.40am i decided as i do on many other ocassions, to bail. However i parked my bike in front of mons car and she had to go at 7am so that was a sign telling me to go. I shwam,but i cant be bothered going home now. Having a nice banana smoothy at the caffe next door to the sea baths. The wether is pretty good,its calm,cool and overcast. Still deciding if i should bike it to work or car in.

Free dryer anyone!

Mon, 11 May 2009 18:58:1 EST

Im not going to let this good karma go without sharing it with others. The laundramat on Mitford Street has a dryer with a jammed $1 coin in it. Why is this blo worthy,you may ask? Well..Its stuck in such a way that if you turn the knob to accept the coin,you get a free 8 minutes of drying. Turn it a few times,and you dont have to pay for drying at all. So yeah. If you walk into the laundromat,its the 2nd last dryer on the left. On the left of the dryer is the detergent machine,on the right of the dryer is the last dryer near the wall. Its the right dryer in the picture. Free drying for all!!

A valuable lesson learned

Mon, 11 May 2009 9:53:57 EST

Ater yesturdays journey,I am left feeling very tired and soar. Strangely enough there was not very much physical exertion,just a lott of sitting and driving at 100kph. Lessons learned: Take a walkman, 2 hours of hyway from Geellong to Melbourne are reaaly boring when you have to concentrate on not falling off the bike continuasly. Take some snacks with you,i got hungry heaps. Take some drinks and some fruit. Dont know how the fruit wagon missed me that time. Take a scarf...it was pretty cold down the point nepean end. Next time, i would like to actualy get to the point of point nepean. We bailed on it because it was a 3.5k walk. Next time gadget,next time.

We did it!

Sun, 10 May 2009 21:2:21 EST

Haw yea! For anyone who is interested, have a gander at the path we took here. We did it all on our motor bikes. Took off from my place at around 1pm and got home around 7pm. Had heaps of time to chill out, have lunch, have a drink, stare at the water. Even saw some dolphins when we were on the Ferry. Ferry was pretty boring though. drove our bikes in, waited for 40 minutes, drove our bikes out! Anyway. We have to do another one like this. We Traveled 203Km!

Attempting a really big drive

Sun, 10 May 2009 14:41:13 EST

Ken and myself have made it down to Rosebud on our Bikes. We are heading down to point nepeans after lunch, and will attempt to take the Portsea Quenscliff Ferry on our bikes. Then drive back from Geeloon to melbourne,thereby doing a full circle of the bay. Beached as...

Developing film the easy way

Fri, 8 May 2009 22:11:11 EST

Wow, if i had know about this device a few years ago, i would have wasted so much less time. 1st off, the Germans are truly awesome in this respect. The simplicity of this device is amazing, compared to the effort of doing it the long way. So here is what you do:

You have a roll of B&W film you want to develop. Heres what you need:

Developer, fixer, and water(lots of it)
A light poof bag
A developing tank
A lightproof change bag, scissors
And SKILL, because you are going do it all in with your hands and not with your eyes.

With the Rondinax, however, all you need is the device itself, the chemicals (less of them also, this device uses 200ml to develop a 35mm roll, whilst a standard dev tank uses around 350ml), water (once again much less), the film, and not much skill at all!

You simply place the film in the device, attach the film leader to the spool feeder (piece of pie that is!), close the box and roll the film on until it stops. Then push the cutter to cut the film from the canister! Put in your chemicals, turn, turn, turn....Well you get the point! I got this on ebay for $59AUD. Its amazingly simple to use, and i wish i had it a few years ago when i was starting out. Shame they don't make these anymore, they are pretty rare. Only 1 left on ebay at present....

A rushed entry

Fri, 8 May 2009 10:46:39 EST

I do not have much to say right now, but i thought that i should say something because you bored people out there may get even more bored. So here is a few seconds of relief for your gold fish like attention spans. Last night we went to Bala da Dhaba on Geln Eira Rd in Ripponlea. It moved recently across the road because of a fire. Not great food i have ot say. The Dahl was way to thick, the Paneer was tasteless and the Kulfi....oh my lord dont get me started on what they want you to believe is Kulfi. That filth they served me was like frozen whipped cream. i sent it right back. I think i will have to start my own Kulfi franchise! Who wants to invest!?

Which one of these Power Supplies is faulty

Thu, 7 May 2009 9:54:28 EST

Trick question really. Neither of the are! I'm dealing with a dead server. Could be the power backplane, could be the motherboard (again). My tips for the future...Get a 3 hour turnaround warantee and don't skimp on a DRP! On the upside...I got up a bit eraly today and had a HUGE breakfast and 'logged my log' (thanks son of Aron). Haw yeah!

What a day

Wed, 6 May 2009 18:0:37 EST

I do not want to talk about it...Just one thing, get a good warantee on your servers bitches! Or a good DRP Plan, hoes!

A less then stress free morning

Wed, 6 May 2009 9:30:7 EST

I got a pretty early call this morning because a server at one of my clients offices had died. I was hopping it was something simple but a lack of a little green light on the powersupply usualy means otherwise. So i got HP to send me a new one,that will take a day and my boss is trying to get one as well. In the mean time,i need to godo another office to see if that server has a PS i can salvage. I lso need to do a Number 2 and the bathroom in the 1st office is in use. So i drive for 15 minutes and RUN into the bathroom. I havn't even checked the salvage server...so not on my list befor i finish my morning routine.

Swine flu fears....NA, not in melbourne!

Tue, 5 May 2009 9:41:24 EST

A link im happy to post

Mon, 4 May 2009 20:48:29 EST

I usually don't repost links of cool stuff directly from other sites, but I had to make an exception for this one. Its a really handy web site that helps with the discovery of music. Now, everyone has their own way of discovering new music. When i say 'new', i mean music/artists one has never heard before/of. The site does not have a real domain but here is the link.

You just type in the name of an artists and it gives you a cloud of stuff that sound similar!

BIOS Updates

Mon, 4 May 2009 15:2:55 EST

Another upgrade to my Dell Mini... new BIOS! Wooo! Cant see any improvements here, but hey why not

Wrong RAM you say...Ill take it!

Mon, 4 May 2009 14:41:12 EST

I ordered the wrong kind of RAM for a clients computer this week. Last week, ASUS told me that this laptop takes DDR2. This week they tell me it takes DDR1. Anyway! I have scored myself a 2Gb RAM module for my dell Mini! Its now been proper hacked and upgraded!!! Runs smooth and warm. One thing I'm not into though is that new Intel Video hack that increases the Video Processor speed to 400Mhz from 133. I like my battery life thank you very much!

Taps, Hot, Cold, Left, Right and why?

Mon, 4 May 2009 10:48:53 EST

Have you ever stopped into a bathroom, kitchen, laundry etc.., Used a tap and looked at the knobs. Why is it that Hot is on the LEFT and Cold is on the RIGHT. Who makes these rules? What I find even more interesting are mixer taps. Some are not even labeled because of their design. Some are labeled in some weird post modern hot/cold icon. But why? Why like this?

Check it out

Sat, 2 May 2009 16:20:52 EST

I shaved. Went for a long ride to the Ferntree Gully Peter Stevens shop with Ken. There was a big sale on motorbike gear, some cool shit. Got a bike lock with a 110db alarm. Hehe pretty loud(trust me, i had to try it). We got out of the shop pretty quick, and seeing as its a few minutes from Mt Dandenong, we decided to push on and drive up. Got to Sasafrass, stopped off for a cupa and to pick up some Jam, as you do. So it was pretty cold on the mountain, you could feel the chill as soon as you started driving up the road. The beard did well in keeping my face warm, but it was time to go. Did a 80km round trip! Ken rides well for a learner. Good on ya brew!

Its Friday...

Fri, 1 May 2009 10:48:34 EST

Im usualy excited that its Friday. For some reason I'm not. Last night after helping a friend with a really big task, i stepped in dog poo. And what a LARGE piece of poo i stepped in. This actually made me think about a string of not such nice things that have been happening lately. Small but annoying little things that change onces mood and behavior through out the week. Check out my Breakfast of Champions Today. mmmmm

Huh..What...um......HUNGRY...Need food.

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 12:53:34 EST

I am hungry...Need to go and get some lunch already. This bloody laptop os still setting itself(if only) up. Still a gorgeous day outside, havnt been out since 10am though, probbaly really cold still. As long a sit doesnt rain, im happy. Soo whats on the agenday today you ask? No you didnt ask. Camon people. mmm i dont know, i havnt got anything to say yeah. My face probably says it all....i need to shave i think, but the beard is keeping my face warm on the bike.

The RAM that thought it could

Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:28:14 EST

But failed miserably. One of my clients got a brand new laptop,that blue screened out of the box. OUT OF THE BOX! Can you believe it. And no,this is not why PC's are crap. It is, however, why a certain computershop shouldnt put cheap RAM into high end notebooks and mix good with bad. Anyway, thats my 1st job for today. I took my bike today,it is a sunny day and how many sunny days like today do we have left. It is pretty cold outside!!

My phone is at it again

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:29:40 EST

Damn Dopod. Just got a new battery for this thing too. If i theaten it enough it will work again...

My Dell Mini 9 now has WiFi Draft-N

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 11:25:21 EST

After my ordeal with installing this tiny little card, I now have Wireless N. I get around 130MBit in my kitchen! To everyone who wants to do this. take my advice...

Power off the pc ocmpletely
Have the original drivers from DELL ready on your pc for the ABG card
Update your pc with windows update to get the latest driver

What a night..

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 23:28:3 EST

I got home tonight and was about to leave to goto Yo's, when i found my brand new Wireless N adapter for my Dell Mini. Being the geek that i am, you know I'm going to get stuck into installing it then and there! Here is where my night goes bad:

I pull open my Mini, take out the old A/B/G adapter and insert the new one. Perfect, everything fits, the antennas connect, looks great. Close it up and start her up
Starts up in Windows and immediately recognizes and installs the Drivers. Im thinking...wow thats awesome, but to make it more awesome, ill install the drivers i downloaded from Broadcom...
WRONG BUDDY! Wrong, wrong wrong. As soon as i install these drivers, the card is disabled and windows reports that it cant start it...CODE 10! I think the whole Code 10 thing is for another rant... So i roll back the driver...No that doesn't work either because the new ones have overwritten them.
What i worked out was that Broadcom, being the compact people they are, putt drivers for their A,b,g and N cards in one package. So i un-installed it from windows, removed all traces of the drivers. I then used the driver package that came with the Dell Mini, these worked fantastic.
On the next task...Connecting to the network. Oh man. someone should be punished for this.
It wont connect to my SSID....I try different WEP keys, i check the mac address tables, i hard WIPE the base station, flash it again. reconfigure it. nothing. So i start again with it.
I Wipe it, and leave it with defaults. No WEP key, no security. BANG connects...here is where I start pulling my hair out. Not only would it not connect in any other Authentication mode, but it was flaky as fuck. SO i say, ok leave it lets go to this Bikram Yoga shit
I goto Yo's and find out that he wants the photos of the OLPC shot in a whitebox, which he didnt ask me to bring. I find out that im early for Yoga, i find out that he is no longer going! That puts me on edge. I really shouldn't have gotten edgy over this. But i did. I failed the most basic Vipassana test...
The whole journey to this Yoga was full of fuck ups, typed it into google maps wrong twice, pulled up to the the wrong place 3 times, couldn't find a park for a few minutes. Was getting very stressed now. Failed again.
Did the Yoga, was nothing special, hot room for 90minutes, stretching my body in ways i have not stretched it before.
Left the room after, and waited for Mr a and Mr p to come out. Mr p. is last as usual, doesn't know where the key is...anyway all sorted i reacted very badly to everything.
Got home, made dinner, ate dinner, got this N thing to work finally, after fiddling with every possible authentication method and hardware settings.

What have I learned from this you ask? I need to meditate more.

Backin it up

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 15:21:53 EST

Old school style. When you got 53Gb of crap you no longer need, but have a creeping feeling that one fine day you will be sued millions if you don't come up with the files.

Backin it up!

When your running out of space on your RAID and theres 53Gb of kitty pictures mixed in with 1Gb of usefully data you don't want to go through

Backin it up!

Some body score this for me please!!!

Why do people get Viruses on their PCs?

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 10:1:32 EST

I will tell you why. Because they are dodgy,dodgy people. These people,such dodgy people. Oh how dodgy they are. The dodge so good that no one can out dodge them. Them dodgers. Dodgy. Seriously though, at 10am on a Tuesday im not really keen on cleaning up soe fool ass dodgy guys computer just because they browse to some dodgy site or plug in a dodgy usb key from their dirty,dodgy home pc. Its not the virus creators im pissed of at,these people are artists in their own wright. But the dodgy tossbag who is wasting my orning,when i could be having a nice cup of tea doing something actualy productive. Im gona get this guy back. Sure,you say,he didnt do it on purpose...dodgy

The Grand Highet does not know what a salad is..

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 20:37:9 EST

According to me, a salad is a dish made of a multitude of vegetables,fruits and or nuts un/garnished with dressings of some description. This is wikis description of a salad. Mon and myself,are at dinner at the Grand Highet,only to discover that their idea of a salad is 3 roasted tomatoes and pieces of cheese. Camon people,get with it. That is not a salad. Its 3 tomatoes with 2 pieces of cheese! On the other hand look at how they origami the toilet paper!

200 Neodymium magnets =

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:31:32 EST

They are tiny,but hella strong! so many cool things one can do.

Better now

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 10:58:31 EST

Much better...I had my usual morning bussiness, and some breaky. Made some sour dough toast with manuka honey and slices of banans on top. Also a cup of earl grey, loose leaf ofcoarse. I do prefer tea bag ear grey, but i dont have any, and my strainer is dirty, so it was comando style loose leaf. Its very sunny and pleasent outside, although its bitey cold!!

How do i look?

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 8:42:55 EST

Because I feel crap! 1 too many drinks last night. Tali and Matt's wedding was heaps of fun. Good food, a great band, hand picked by the couple, funny speeches, dancing, shmansing and good friends. They did pike out at like 11pm, which is pretty tame guys!!!! Well, i had a blast and so did Mon. Onto Mon:

Happy Birthday Moon Moon!!

As far as we know, there are no party plans yet...But i will keep you all informed.

Its Sunday

Sun, 26 Apr 2009 12:38:42 EST

Today is the day that Tali and Mat get married. Im currently enjoying a nice relaxed sitting,before i go outside to the shitty weather.

My Phone Camera is working again?

Sat, 25 Apr 2009 12:57:0 EST

OK this is strange. my phones camera is working again. i think it sensed its demise.

VP Faarking N

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 17:50:3 EST

I now have VPN at home! WOooooo hooo! Not only do we have a Web server, Mail Server, Enterprise level WiFi, FTP server and now a new addition...

VPN

I need a new phone

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:37:42 EST

This is a reason why. Look at my camera. I took the fucker appart and cleaned it. Still no luck.

Now thats a pretzel

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 9:44:41 EST

Its so salty! Yum! I need a new phone. It needs to be smallish, have a keyboard, a touch screen and i need to be able to tether it via blue tooth pan. Suggestions??

Missed my morning shwim

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 10:11:50 EST

And missed breakfast at Mr. P's house. So now I'm a little peckish. In Kew this morning,working,doing the old nose to the grindstone. Traffic to Kew in the morning is rediculous. Far to many people want to go there. Its a nice place but camon,go elsewhere so i can drive there in peace. Got to drive the Triumph today. Haw yeah. Will have to decid what to do with 200 ultra powerfull magnets. Fun times ahead.

1000 Posts, ae???

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 15:34:19 EST

I'm only up to 273, probably less considering each entry has an individual ID.... Never mind you would not understand. Well It's 3:30pm...I'm doing something, some work...you could call it work..its pretty boring....i guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm bored... I got a new pen yesterday. Its called the Hero 616. A Chinese knock-off of the Parker 51. Ill put up some pics and maybe even an example later, right now I have to get back to being bored. And Dan...Its quality not quantity! 1000 Posts indeed..

Monday, indeed.

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 10:39:10 EST

Good morning all. It's Monday, I have slept well, Had breakfast, gone to the loo and had a self made espresso. I did think about taking my bike in to work today, but it was a tad bit too cold. Now its all sunny and nice. Ill drive the bike tomorrow if its like today.

I got bought an wireless N card for my DELL Mini 9. I don't know why they don't install these as standard. The card was $35 ($49 shipped), I cant see that the A,B,G card is going to cost ridiculously less. Anyway, i hope that it works ok. I have a fear that they crammed the WiFi, Blue tooth and Ethernet NIC's onto the one PCI-E card. If thats the case, then I will have WiFi-N but nothing else. This will suck.

If anyone wants some cheap Moleskins, this guy on ebay is pretty good. Has them shipped out PH. Thats Post Haste! Enjoy your Monday people!

What Im doing tonight.

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:31:37 EST

Well, its pretty boring really. I'm watching a hugely over sized Microsoft Exchange database, under repair by eseutil.exe.... Fun huh! Pays the rent though!!! Ive watched some shitty video also, we were going to go see this movie a few days ago about DMT and all that shit. good thing that we couldn't get any tickets. You had to smell like a dirty hippy to get in and I'm glad. After 20 minutes of watching this crap i was glad i could close it. Saw a coll Nikon 16mm fish eye lens on ebay for $900, thought about getting it, then told myself, that i don't need it and closed the page. I'm just terrible with this stuff. Listening to Perfect Stranger now..Farking cool shit!

THE hand dryer

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 10:26:17 EST

Here it is peeps. THE actual dryer that dried my panTHS a few weeks back when i got cought in the rain. As you can probbaly guess, Im at that office now in the bathroom, doing what i do best in bathrooms.

Say What?

Fri, 17 Apr 2009 9:57:29 EST

Oh man i just coughed up something nasty. I wont take a picture for you though. mmm i thought about it but no you don't get a picture of it. I am feeling much better today, bit of snot here and there but it's steadily coming out of me and i don't feel hot or weak. Whoa just got back from the bathroom, that was a lot of snot. I'm all clear now. Boys, update the Blag will you its getting stagnant. You know who you are.

I got a new Pen!

Thu, 16 Apr 2009 15:47:5 EST

Fooby found this pen a few days ago. Told me that he was going give it to me, because i like pens so much. He gave it to me last night. Its a pretty cool Fountain Pen. Its a Rotring 600 with a 'F' nib. Solid, feels like a weapon. The term 'the pen is mightier then the pen' comes to mind with this one. It has a Refillable syringe-like cartridge that sucks up ink. Writes pretty well. I put Green ink into the cartridge, but its a light ink, so its quite dull unless you push down on the pen. I like it. Here is the link to the Rotring website, i think they make stuff for architects and engineers. On another note, i was looking through some forums, dedicated to Moleskin nerds. I found some interesting wiki's that talked about what pens and inks to use with your moleskin. They were recommending a pen called the Hero. Its some Chinese knock-off of the Parker 51, which is some amazing old-school pen. Anyway i got one on the net, to try it out in my moleskin. Was like $30 AUD so I doubt it will be 'FANTASTIC' but worth a go.

2 days out of chilaxing

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 9:52:47 EST

And im already sick. I have acquired a cold of some sort. I am hoping to drink it to death with lots of tea. Spotted something nteresting in a bathroom here. Its advanced toilet paper. Description reads:

Tork Advanced Toilet Paper rolls. Desined with maximum comfort to strike out waste material. Using scientificaly prooven methods,derrived from wartime activities,advanced toilet paper rolls clean you to the extreme.

We have been offline...Want to know why?

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:46:28 EST

Well, i could go on a rant about how Optus is evil and all that. But not today. I'm going to be a bit more chilaxed about tit. All up, we now have a very shitty ADSL2+ connection, but its faster then ADSL1 so i wont complain. What I will complain about is that i am 2.5km from the DSLAM and i only get 2.8MBit with ADSL2+. Thats TELECOMS fault, not telstras, TELECOM. Those fuckers would have put in the phone lines way back when this building was built.

The long weekend is over.

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 9:6:56 EST

But i still need a few more days off. I had a bouncing headache last night and was sweating heavily. This morning i don't feel 100%. I actually feel rather ill. Not the usual morning ill, but a crappy 'cold' ill. Lets hope i can get through today easily enough. I think i have to drive to some weird suburb today thats a good hour out of the city....Lets see how that goes.

The last of the Rollei Retro 400

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:28:35 EST

After developing 2 rolls of film, i mistook the film for Kodaks instead of what they really were...'Rollei Retro'. I bought a 30 meter roll a while back, as i do, and have finally used the last rolls. Incidentally, i have had mediocre opinions of this film, primarily because I never played with it properly. Today i developed in in a Stock solution of ID-11 for 8m:30s at 20c. I was supposed to develop it for 8m but the ID-11 i have has been sitting for months, un-used. Anyway, the results are fantastic. It seems that i have inadvertently pushed the film a few stops, which is what it needs. Its supper contrasty. I will attempt to print them tonight. The roll you see in the picture is my standard favourite, the Kodak TMax-400 B&W.

If your interested..

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 18:3:1 EST

Here is a Google maps link to where i went today. About 140km round trip. Passed by the Vipassana center and telepathically said hi to Neel. Was a beauty of a ride on my Triumph.

Im on top of a Dam

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 15:41:15 EST

The cut-over of all cut-overs is...

Sat, 11 Apr 2009 16:51:48 EST

Complete!!! I have cut over to my new webserver. Its smaller, queter and has a built in UPS! What more could you ask! Oh and its WAY more powerfull then the original, so wouldlove to hear feedback regarding speed. Is it any slower/faster?

Today is like a Friday

Thu, 09 Apr 2009 08:48:08 EST

New CEO = Cold reception

Wed, 8 Apr 2009 10:22:8 EST

I had to pull out some equipment from a client who mo longr use us. Man the CEO was cold. I tried soo hard to be pleasent in conversation,i asked if he was having a good day,if hes going away over easter etc... Nothing. Oh well. He looks aight. But hey. what can i say. Waiting for my hot chocolate and muffin now.MMMmmm.

Im back...at this office

Tue, 7 Apr 2009 17:26:1 EST

Damn it. Something always goes wrong. This time, I'm glad to see that it is not my fault. I think there is a Ethernet storm on the network. I'm not sure where or how or why. But i can see it, the switches are going wild. woooooooooooooo. Flashy and such... Anyway, i have to do this the old school way, by pulling every network cable out to see which one stops the flood.

Excitement... I tried

PANTHS! Yeah Mon, P-A-N-T-H-S Panths!

Tue, 7 Apr 2009 9:57:34 EST

Who the hell spells "pants". English is just rediculous! It should be Panths. You dont go aroudn saying Pantz!

Guess where I am?

Mon, 6 Apr 2009 9:51:4 EST

Bet you'll never guess? Hello Monday, Daylight savings, and a shorter week. On the agenda this week is surviving the week to get to the public holidays! The whether has gotten really shite in the last 2 days so i decided to cook up some prune jam. This stuff is great for breakfasts. Especially on Oats. My Recipe:

Bunch of prunes, about 2 handfuls. Pitted is easier on your jaw in the morning when you can be bothered picking through your breakfast and just want to blindly eat.
Some raisins, about half a hand full
3 Bananas, slightly raw, or very fresh ladyfinger.
Cinemn - about half a teaspoon
Cardomom - about a teaspoon flat

1. Put the prunes in a pot and fill it with water, about 1 inch more then there are prunes. Start cooking on high heat to get the watter to boil. 2. Once it boils, reduce the heat to low. Chop the bananas and chuck em in. Throw in the raisins and stir 3. In about 5 minutes the whole thing turns very goo-e. Keep stirring it. Put the cinemon and cardamom in and stir the stuff in. I also added some Chai-Masala, but i have no idea whats in it, as Tooshes mom made it. 4. Boil on low heat for about an hour stirring. It will get very thick and goo-e. Turn off the heat and let cool. Refrigerate.

I usually put a big spoon full into my bowl and microwave it to really hot, then i drop in my hot fresh oats and stir it and eat it. MMMMMM.

Americans Say Nai-Kon?

Sun, 5 Apr 2009 21:4:22 EST

Watch this dude review his Nikon F3. He says Nai-kon. haha. Americans.

The hand dryer that dried me today

Fri, 3 Apr 2009 17:1:43 EST

A mighty hoora for the hand dryer. AT which i spent 15 minutes drying my panths today in a tiny office bathroom. See, i left home today on my triumph, only to discover a few hours later that it was raining heavily. And when i say heavily, i mean like Samoa heavily. My panths were so wet, they were more watter then panths. Now i gota drive home in this rain, im trying to wait out untill the clouds part a little so i can race home. Next time, i will have to stuf my bike panths into my bag!

CHeers to J for testing that this blogs RSS feed works on the iphone. Neel, there is something wrong with your pc. If Jodys iphone reads it, it works. Thats 2 people OK'ing it.

Need a nother day off...

Thu, 2 Apr 2009 13:43:19 EST

I'm back at work, in the same office. Troubleshooting the same bunch of stupid problems. Spent yesterday building my new web server on Rohans old laptop. Had to deck it out a bit, with a bigger HDD and some more RAM. After ditching IIS, i installed Apache, MySQL, PHP and am thinking about installing a mail server as well. WIll test it out you know. Got stuck, however on some image library in PHP. will have to reinstall i9t from the ZIP instead of the installer. Fuckin php.net, dont trust em!

On another note, some of your complaining public, have expressed problems with the RSS feed. Here is my official response:

It works for me, when i run it in Outlook 07, so i don't give a damn if it doesn't work for you
Once i have moved everything over to the new web server, I will TRY to sort out why your stupid MAC SHIT doesn't like my RSS feed

Yours

A new post to test some rss shit

Wednesday 1 April 2009 - 13:59:42

here it is mr p. Zerwes in his prime

RSS is here

Tuesday 31 March 2009 - 21:52:37

There you go Mr. Patel. Elec-tron.org now has an RSS feed. Here is the link

http://www.elec-tron.org/rss.php

You can either click on it to add it to your RSS reader, or alternatively, copy and paste the above into your RSS readed. I reckon pasting it works better. This RSS shit is new to me, and i had to build it from bottom up. I still stand to the NO PLUG INS rule.

I have tomorow off!

Tuesday 31 March 2009 - 14:15:16

And i have a plan. Which I'm not so sure i will pull off! So check it

Get up real early like 6am
Pack a portable stove, gas, cooking pot, porridge, milk, hot water in thermos, tea, cup, spoon, rug, camera
Drive down the beach, towards black rock on my Triumph
Cook a mean breakfast and eat it, maybe even take a photo of myself cooking and/or eating it

Taking bets now on the possibility of the above happening! Also i love HTML bullets. I keep on having to go here to remember the code though.

Auditron!

Monday 30 March 2009 - 15:45:48

Is here to transform your audits!

I have had smoother mornings

Monday 30 March 2009 - 11:2:22

I need a holiday

Im pretty much done

Sunday 29 March 2009 - 13:38:7

I have to say that, this has been the greatest ever waste of a weekend. Its been gorgeous, sunny and warm outside. All the wankers are at the GP, and I'm in an office!!! CAMON! Anyway I'm pretty much done. Theres going to be SOOOOO many little problems tomorrow, all these useless users. I really need a day off

Almost lost everything thanks to..

Saturday 28 March 2009 - 14:12:51

I wont name names, but it wasn't my fault. If your going stick around and sit on my back the whole time, at least DON'T TOUCH THE FARKING RACK. 10 more seconds and the whole system would have been screwed. One of the main power cables came out of the UPS and BANG, everything goes down.

But you know, the blame quickly moves to me: 'The cables were too loose!!!' and 'Did you run a backup? NO why NOT???'. At 2 pm on Saturday, I'm not keen. The new server blue screened after the 1st reboot but it's OK now. I'm doing incremental backups every time I install something now. Really, theres nothing more productive then putting labels on things at this critical stage, now is there?(refer to picture for my response)

YATA!

Friday 27 March 2009 - 21:7:28

The initial migration is complete. So far so good, tomorrow I will see if everything is going to plan

Stage 1 Complete!!!!

Friday 27 March 2009 - 19:23:57

I will be able to log in momentarily and see if stage 1 went to plan......It did

So it begins!

Friday 27 March 2009 - 17:30:2

Push some buttons, PUSH SOME BUTTONS, YOU pull some levers, PULL some LEVERS.

Its ON,the countdown to the upgrade

Friday 27 March 2009 - 13:0:57

Im pretty nervous today because of this huge server upgrade. The work starts at 5pm sharp! After 2 week of intensive planning and tesing, I'm hoping that everything works out ok. Ive gone for a nice chilaxing sit in the park to think about nothing and clear the mind. The GP is also at full blast today. The noise is pretty big. Like a hive of super loud agry bees. 4 hours to go.

Almost there!

Thursday 26 March 2009 - 22:46:59

One day to go, until the full cut over. Put all the servers into a big ass rack tonight. Looks pretty messy in the rear, but pretty in the front

A new Feature

Wednesday 25 March 2009 - 23:14:11

I have added a new feature to the blog, which allows you to click on the Image to get the full picture. I used "str_replace", a php function designed to pull out certain charectors. The image location is stored in the DB using its full path. And to make it more PDA friendly, I made the image in the main page be smaller thumbnails, so some of the pics look crappy. This way i can pull out the 'T-' and replace it with the proper full file name! Yeah! Go on, Try it, i know you want to, just click on the picture....

Line rentals getting you down?

Wednesday 25 March 2009 - 22:57:5

I use Optus at home. I use them for their business grade internet services. Unfortunately, you must have a phone line to get ADSL. So i have an optus home phone line! What do you know, the line rental jumped from $38 to $60! I know... ridiculous. So i called them, and after some deliberating with the sales girl, she put me on a cheaper plan at just $20 a month. Faaaarking Optus, i don't like you.

OMG - He has a picure of himself in the kitchen!

Tuesday 24 March 2009 - 13:15:30

Supposably, having ones portiat in the kitchen makes on arrogant?! My next door neighbor, whom has caused me some worries in the past, today said somethign that made me crack up laughing. The storry goes a little something like this:

My realtor was to come over and inspect my appartment as aprt of our yearly inspections. About an hour before hand, the lady from next door was heard on the balcony. She had her phone in her hand and was talking very loudly, probably so that everyone could her what she was saying. She said

"He doesn't respect me, because i live alone, he is so arrogant, he has a photo of himself in the kitchen, thats how arrogant he is!"

HA!

What a weekend!

Monday 23 March 2009 - 10:22:0

Lats week was nerve wrecking for me. I was pushed and prodded every 20 minutes for progress reports. This kind of thing, does not work with me. It only makes me FAIL! In fact it was the prime reason why something that would have been done quickly took 4 days of testing. If i was left alone, with a cup of tea, 10 minutes of waiting whilst Active Directory updates would have solved everything. Moving on to the weekend, i was pretty stressed. Feeling rather unhappy about the whole weekend, even thought it was my birthday on Friday, and party on Saturday. However, I was very soon led in the right path. I left the weekend feeling excellent. However, this was at the expense of several close friends. Not really, but heres how it is. Ones problems are insignificant to the problems faced by others. That is what i was reminded of ever so gently. I hope everything gets sorted.

I'm Still Here........

Friday 20 March 2009 - 9:31:32

I have been doing a test run of one of my clients new servers. My job is to migrate their current Windows 2003 SBS machine to their new Windows 2008 Premium Server. The good thing is that the migration process is well written by MS, and the 1st time i did it it worked perfectly. The next 6 times i did it it FAILED!!! I hate this shit already. I have been doing this for 2 days strait and i cant work out what I'm doing wrong! Its usually the other way around, i try it 6 times, it fails, then on the 7th time after re reading all the docs properly it works.

Not this however. I am doing the whole thing from scratch again now. I will start ALL over again... OH and ITS MY B'DAY! Woooo. Din Dins tomorrow night, for all who are invited. For everyone else, YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED HARDER!

Those peski candy machines

Thursday 19 March 2009 - 14:17:37

Behind me, what i am attempting to point to, is a candy machine. It takes your money and makes a beeping sound. Then it takes more of your money and gives you candy. Its useless. Every time some one comes to buy something from it, they yell out "Oh no. Efing machine, give me my candy, damn you!" and i yell out, "just bang it, the candy bar will drop out".. They do. The bang it and then the candy DOESN'T come out. Problem is, now there is a sign on the machine that says 'Do no bang me'. Some people should walk around with a sign that says 'Bang me'! hehe.

Fundraising Ideas?

Wednesday 18 March 2009 - 12:18:13

Some of you already know that i will be heading over to Sierra Leone in November:

Amy thought of a great Idea regarding fund raising. When she last raised funds, she had people sponsoring her for like $1 a day for a month to do something. For example, she did some form of Yoga for 30 days. I am not too keen on yoga, but I am open to suggestions on something to do for 30 days that people might want to sponsor me for? Suggestions via comments please!!!!!!

Coffee for a non-Coffee drinker

Wednesday 18 March 2009 - 9:54:4

I drink tea. I love it. I drink heaps of it. I would say that i drink around 2 liters of it every day. However, sometimes i feel the urge to have some coffee. I drink coffee like its an expensive whiskey. I have a shot glass every week to 2 weeks. And it does havoc to my system. Not only am i WIRED as F-CK, but it makes me go to the toilet for a number 2, within about 5 minutes. This morning, i had a shot of espresso. Made it myself. Have been to the toilet 3 times in 2 hours. Woooo!

On another note, whats on for today you ask? Firstly, i doubt you asked, but if you did, I'm still testing that Server 2003 to 2008 migration. I'm on page 27 of 77! Its so exciting, not, all these service packs, migration files, pre-requisites blah blah blah. JUST FUCKING WORK!!!!!!!!

My Beef"day is this week!

Tuesday 17 March 2009 - 12:35:12

Only a few days away from turning a grand old age of 27, my birthday is just around the corner. Am i excited? Not really. Am i having a party? no but Din Dins will be served, for a big group. Hopefully everyone will make it. Do i want lots of presents? No. So what am i looking forward to? Din Dins! I'm going to make a feast. That and the weekend. Work is full on now an din the next 2 weeks. New server, new upgrade. Im struggling to keep my eyes open. Most of this stuff is just testing and backing shit up and restoring, and testing again. You get one thing down pat and they want you to try something else so save 1 hour of work.... What can i say.

How my weekend rolled?

Monday 16 March 2009 - 11:23:49

A cloudy morning to everyone out there on the intra-webs. Its cold outside, i cant ride my bike to day, and i have done my morning poo. Saturday was a shopping fest for food, followed by my Moms 60th B'day party. Thankfully it was at one of the "better" Russian restaurants around, but it still sucked. No veg food for me, just salads and pickles. Sunday was a day of feasting, this weekend. In the morning, i made pancakes. I was then fed some cake and tea at one of Mons friends new Homes. Jackie, awesome apartment, whens the party? We then proceeded to the Russian deli on Balaclava to purchase those garlic pickles Yo showed me the day before. Man they are good! Pickle and garlicky gherkins!! MMMMMM!! Then to Yo's house for snacks, then dinner, which was HUGE and lasted a long time. Man I am still very full! And check out these funky free sunnies a got from Zervie. HAAAW Yeah!

Blog during the week, blog during the week end

Sunday 15 March 2009 - 0:46:43

The boys over at www.thelatestblog.org have not been putting much in there since friday... Come on boys, just because your not at work doesnt mean you should stop your blog. I still have to read stuff during breakfast, and your content is so small right now.

This is what my clients see me as...

A server with a Remote Controll...Kind of!

Friday 13 March 2009 - 13:53:18

When it comes to personal computers, Apple make great designs. When it comes to servers, that a SMB can afford these days, IBM make great designs. Here is a perfect example of a slimline server from IBM. This is a x3650 Server. I like it because:

It has 12Gb RAM
It has 6 x 146gb SAS-HDD, RAID'd OLD SCHOOL STYLE!
And the best thing, this kick ass little remote control, slidy out thing that tells you whats wrong with it.

I am old-school, when it come to this kind of stuff. When you look at servers, most of them have about as much hardware diagnostics LED's as....i don't know...what has 2 LED's these days? What im saying is "put more LEDs on these things, if for nothng but to make them look awesome". I am however not talking about SG servers, which look a trillion times more awesome, but like i said, these days, most SMB's cant pull that.

After Hours Work

Thursday 12 March 2009 - 17:59:42

Tonight, im doing some after hours work. Its part of my new pay rise for work. Any work i do after hours, i directly funded to me. Which is good for everyone! Its especially good for me, cause i need some moe ny. Thats right, you heard me right...Moe...Ny! Today i will be applying SP2 for Windows 2003 Server. Riveting shit... Still feeling a bit groggy from the weekend, keep having small flashbacks every time i goto to the toilet about the porta-loo at future. Man, don't ever go into a porta-loo at the end of a festival especially if your tripping as hard as i was. The fucking thing looked like it was going to eat me. Any moment it was about to speak and tell me some ungodly truth about toilets and their plans for world domination. I was personally scared that the thing would drive away with me stuck in it....that would have been some funny funny shit! Not so funny for Nik and Ken though, who would have had to freak out about where i was. Haha. oh man would have been harsh on everyone, myself included.

So check it out, thats me, doing work, after hours.....

You dont have to be poor to have a shit phone

Thursday 12 March 2009 - 12:28:17

See that Nokia,its from the late 90's. Now im a pretty hardcore phone snob,and when i see someone using something like this,i usualy think to myself...wow im lucky ro have such a cool phone,this dude must not be able to afford a better one. But this time i was trully shocked.The owner of this phone is MEGA rich, very inteligent and does know how to use a computer pretty well. Im really afraid to ask him,why he has such an old phone. On the updside, it is a good pone,because all it does it make calls!!

When it rains it pores...

Wednesday 11 March 2009 - 10:42:58

Contrary to your beliefs Dan, this term is usually used in a negative fashion. For example: I get to the office, only to find out that I'm needed SUPER urgently in the CBD. SO i drive to THAT office and find that I'm confronted with one problem, then another then another....Then the firewall decides to have the same IP address as the company's server. Oh the joys of the Information Technology age. Where everything is smooth and stable, where nothing breaks or halts to a stop. Unless of coarse the human user decides that they are going to rape the system for all its worth. So thats my morning! On the upside they got a new coffee machine, which froths up hot milk for you with 1 push of a button. I had about half a shot of coffee with a full cup of hot frothy milk!! Yum yum! Cheers for the picture J man, love it. So dan, when you have a bounty of women to date, dont say 'when it rains it pores'. Looking forward to din dins tonight, hope your brining your latest flame along!

Tuesday

Tuesday 10 March 2009 - 9:39:19

My brain is slowly re-arranging itself after Future Music Festival on Sunday. My review of the weekend would have to be "Ba-ha-ha-hanging". Spent most of Sunday under "The Likes of You" tent where Richie Hawtin, Sander Kleinenberg, Stephan Bodzin played. Richie Hawtin was awesome, while Stephan Bodzin was a show off wanker! He played a very good set and performed well, but that shit he pulled at the after party at billboards was toooo faarking much. The sound system was way to loud and my head felt like it was going to explode. I had to goto work yesterday for a few hours so I'm not completely recovered yet. In fact, I'm incredibly sleepy and tired right now. I really need to go home and sleep the rest of the day or maybe week.

Future Music is gona be the Bom

Sunday 8 March 2009 - 12:43:38

HAAW YEAAh!

Can you see whats wrong with this picture?

Friday 6 March 2009 - 11:5:41

Man i just love microsoft exchange. When it works its beautiful. WHen it doesnt, its also gorgeos!

The importance of the morning poo

Thursday 5 March 2009 - 11:30:49

I just can not stress to everyone on the inrantes,how important that morning poo is! For me,its the difference between wanting to kill people and wanting to hug them.

Watching Al Jazera at my fav pizza joint

Wednesday 3 March 2009 - 12:19:30

This place is on Sydney Rd. in brunswick. Its called Tabets Bakery. The pizzas are leonese and yummy,and the have a tinny tv streaming al jazera. Love it. i look like a dirty arab right now,because i need a haircut and a shave. Oh and I had a great poo. feel awesome now.

I need a haircut

Wednesday 4 March 2009 - 10:47:18

Oh lord, i need a haircut. Its so long, and so shabby, its totaly all over the joint. I cant controll it anymore, its huge and thick. I feel rotten today too. Its cool outside after a day of 105km an hour winds. I drove to a clients office today on my Bonnie, even though it was pretty chilly, long live the long johns. RIgth now its getting a bit cloudy outside, im hoping it wont rain or get any colder, becasue i dont haev any of my rain gear with me and im in Brunswick, thats a goor 40minute drive home in the rain. NOT HAPPY! Im going to go attempt to poo one out in an effort to make oneself feel better.

Why "NEW" is not always "BETTER"...

Tuesday 3 March 2009 - 22:57:37

Heres my latest rant. My Domain and DNS hosting company, Bottle Domains, has always provided me with a high quality and quantity of service. Their systems worked well and when it didn't, their support was great. Over the last year or so, i have seen a decline. The last 3 domain names i have purchased, all had some kind of fark up. From financial screw ups to dns issues. The last one i bought was for a new blog of some people i know. You know who you are, you dodgy geezers. Well, after 30 minutes on hold, havign my calls droped, beeing given shitty advice etc.. I FUCKING FED UP BOYS AND GIRLS! The next domain i buy, will not be thourgh them, and i will move all my domains to someone else. Arseholes!!! Anyway, check out the new blog www.thelatestblog.org

We have been scammed again people!

Tuesday 3 March 2009 - 13:1:6

Mars Red: Scam!!! I got one to find out that it was too small,over priced and was actualy a milky way. Here is the deal Mars made a slightly larger milky way,decided,lets make a new bar because our shape is screwed up. We will call it Mars Red,charge double for half as much and yeah...Faaaaaaarrrrk You mars. i am not touching yo shite again.

A response to the Copyight Issue

Monday 2 March 2009 - 13:38:57

In response to a recent rant i read on copyrights in the recod insustry HERE. I agree with certain aspects of what you saying, but you are wrong about others:

1-Make your content available to EVERYONE at the same time, with a GOOD SOLID SERVICE.

The question here is not so much to do with a solid service o its availability to everyone. Its more about things like Copyight laws across different countries of the world, Ratings play a HUGE role in decing if something is to be released world wide o if it needs to be edited or censoed specificaly. You can see this very well in games that have an rating in the US and can not be sold in Australia because they are rated over R. Some services have wised up to this. I assume that you can buy DRM free music fom Itunes, Amazon etc.. 90% of electronic music can be puchased online 100% DRM free. I can see what you mean, however, egarding movies and tv episodes. I think taht with time, as technology pogresses and the internet becomes more accesable in highe volumes(high bandwidth is the mani thing im talking about) movies and episodes will become drm free in a similar fashion as MP3's have. Look at how long it took music to become DRM free?

3- COST! Movies - $1, TV Shows and Music $0.10, Games - $3

My main argument here, is if you can affod it, tough shit! Dont complain about it. I agree that some things are totaly overpriced, like DVD's and CD's. They seem to be compensating for somethign in their prices. Your pricing structure is fine, im not arguing with it, but you statement 'why should I have to pay SO DAMN MUCH????' is a cop-out. You have a choice to do the legit thing and pay what they are asking for their efforts or download it for free. If you dont want to pay, dont watch it. I have this policy with Games. If a game looks good, i will rent it, if i find it interetsing enough to lay down $80 for i do, if i dont i DONT. If you dont want Jack to come into your house, YOU DONT LET HIM. Jack doesnt go and break in!?

Want to reboot The Internet?

Thursday 26 February 2009 - 13:45:10

Seems like some people do it every so often. I always laugh at this, and then cry inside a little. I know they mean well, in that they want to restart the "Internet Connection Devices", and i know they have to have this on the wall because not everyone is IT savvy. But you have to laugh. Heres something else to laugh about. The Latest Blag / Bloggys Blog, i don't know they change the bloody name so many times over. I promised a critique so here goes.....ah i cant be bothered now. Have a look for yourselves http://thelatestbloggy.blogspot.com/

My new Bonnie

Tuesday 24 February 2009 - 14:7:30

SHINY!!!!!!!!!!

My finger is still sore

Monday 23 February 2009 - 10:26:55

I canbend them both fine,but the middle finger hurts a bit. I pinched and proded it for a bit and seems that its just the cut on the skin that hurts, so no damage to the insides i hope. Going to pick up the Bonnie tommorow, maybe even today....Have little time and so much to do. Any ideas for a name for this bike? Oh and i alsmot forgot that this blog has been vote dthe 2nd best blog on the intranets by The Latest Blog

An almost decapitating weekend

Sunday 22 February 2009 - 21:47:27

This weekend was full of surprises. Bought a gorgeos Triumph Bonneville and mon almost decapitated my fingers in her car.

On the phone again

Wednesday 11 February 2009 - 14:3:51

rarararara...Im on the phone again. Today its with Symantec. Oh Symantec, why cant you get your licensing right. You and CA and MS. Wow you all suck at this. If all of you put in the same amount of effort into curing cancer as you do into DRM for your crappy software, cancer would have been dead 10 years ago and it would have taken AIDS with it out of sheer boredom.

Back from Red Hil

Sunday 1 February 2009 - 20:4:21

Nice weekend away at red hill, having din dins at nikis and kens now. Look slike adrian will be a while at cooking it though

How hot is it? VERY!

Thursday 29 January 2009 - 11:47:21

It has to be over 40 outside, but I' lucky because I have been in a nice AC office since 8:30 AM. In fact i woke up early, especially to get here through the heat. My bedroom was a sauna all night, and in the morning. Unbearable! I think Mon suffered most. Big job today, migrating a server, 2003 to 2007. Going to be here all day. All recovered from Rainbow also, was a bit groggy this morning but that was from the lack of sleep. When i get home, its strait into the water at the beach for a cool dip.

Back from Rainbow

Tuesday 27 January 2009 - 16:6:31

Ohhh...Man what a weekend. Lots of hippies, hot, dry, dusty as a desert and totally crazy. Had a wicked time Sunday from 5am to 11pm! Rest of the time was just preparation and relaxation. Got a bit burned, and a bit of a tan as can be seen on my watch arm. I did not see Adrian however, and I'm not happy with that at all, but what can one do. Saw lots of other people, took HEAPS of photos, hopefully the camera survived the dance floor dust.

Rainbow...soon

Wednesday 21 January 2009 - 23:1:23

Friday is the day. I have to work unfortunately, but ill be ready at 5pm. I doubt i will be posting any blogs from there, what with hopefully having too much fun, but i will keep everything documented as per usual on my picture site www.portadisk.com. So yeah, some you are not going unfortunately, but most of you, the ones not readin this are. so yeah.

TED still has the good stuff

Tuesday 20 January 2009 - 18:8:11

I often watch videos from http://www.ted.com. Sometimes the speakers are wanks, but 95% of the time they are awesome. Heres one i thought was really good, specially for the picture i found in it about parking. I wish i had one of these stamps.

Its not so hot any more

Wednesday 14 January 2009 - 12:12:7

So it dropped like 10 degree sin about 1 hour today. Im not complaining but its weird. Marcelo is back and neel will be back tomorrow. Im excited. everyone is back.

Its hot outside

Tuesday 13 January 2009 - 12:28:0

Today is hot very very hot outside. I have been trying my hardest to stay inside AC buildings all day. I choose to ride my bike today, so far I'm not regretting it but as it gets hotter, a for casted 37, i might regret it and want my AC car back.

Tea man to the rescue

Tuesday 6 January 2009 - 14:55:15

To all who have drunk tea with me witness.... TEA MAN

This bloody server needs a rack of its own

Happy New Year Everyone

Friday 2 January 2009 - 12:59:46

I know that only a few people actually read this, but I'm still going to send out a big happy new year to you all. Especially to Praveen, who hosted a wild party and was kind enough to invite myself, Mon, Nik, Ken and Dan along fro the ride. For anyone who wants to see the pictures i took at the festivities, they are online now at http://www.portadisk.com/leon/nye09/. Oh an Pat, hes the guy in the pictuer with me in the mirror...your the man Pat.

Friday 19 December 2008 - 11:30:35

Its almost the end of the year. My mouse has a crack in it from me banging it down on the table from sheer frustration so many a time. My desk has a patch of wood missing because my mouse moves around this area so much,and im not at all awake at 11.30am. On the upside, NYE is soon!

Elevator Manners

Tuesday 16 December 2008 - 11:33:14

I often think about elevator manners. Im in elevators a lot. No i dont have a fetish for them, although i do enjoy pressing buttons...all teh buttons....multiple times. This morning i walked into a big high rise, and proceeded to teh elevator. I wa looking at my phone, doing my phone thing, got into an open elevator and mashed the keypad. Not only did i not notice that a well mannared girl had kept teh door open for me while i stood at the entrance of the lift looking at my phone, but i mashed levels 2,4 and 6( i was goign to 6 she was goign to 15) and made her wait for no reason! I felt like a dickhead! I appologized and walked out. So tip for you all, who use lifts....Before you leave, let one rip!

Im hungry

Wednesday 10 December 2008 - 12:22:57

I cant wait to get out of this office,im starving. Mon gave me amusli bar for breaky,which was really good,but its almost 1pm and i need food. Its also getting really nice and sunny outside, i thinkill go home for lunch,if i can, and swap my car for my bike.

Gloy to the Wednesday

Wednesday 10 December 2008 - 10:49:15

I had a nice long sleep, last night Bec and Cam fed us some high wuality Burritos, i think i had 4...I took a 5th tortia, but then thoguth that would be greedy. But i could have actualy had 5 and thought that 6 was greedy, iether way, Mon and myself were fully stuffed! Nice work Cam and Bec! Doubt you will actualy read this but hey, its on record. Think i will make burritos tonight..Vegy burritos. I am also betting taht if a certain friend of mine has time on his hands and checks this entry, will put down a particular qoate from Invader Zim, regarding burritos. I love burritos! So bean full! So im at work, and work is work.

On this mornings menu are Blackberries pan fries on broken LCD screens,with a side of NTFS corruptions and a lack of space. All nicely served with a cup of "Please fix it". Im happy this morning however. because this week herralds the return of the mighty Aronson,feared by the many, and Dr. Granek fearce cooker of beetroot currys.

Electric Scooter

Sunday 19 October 2008 - 16:4:18

In response to Daniels request for my electric scooter, no i don't actually have one that works. The one i have has old batteries which need replacing. The batteries cost about as much as a new scooter, so I have put a bid on eBay for one. Currently sitting at just under $40 WHICH IS THE COST OF 1 NEW BATTERY! Lets hope i win it, even if the bats on this one are bad, at least ill know 100% that it works so we can just ramp up a car battery to it! You can do it Daniel, you got months of doing nothing here! So heres your project!

Fridays are alwasy better when its sunny

Friday 17 October 2008 - 12:25:45

Today is warmer then usual. Its usnny in Melbourne and the air smells great! The beach looks awesome, the waters in the bay are green, blue. Im on my bike today, and althought its a bit chilly, you cant have one with out the other. Im working in North Melbourne now, bit boring as always but hey, there is only so much i can ask for.

Someone pissed me off today...

Thursday 16 October 2008 - 11:28:53

Wow, i had a conversation with someone who was so completely unable to do anything with himself. His computer had in his words 'shat itself'. 'Nothing was working', and even after he 'got sensual with the touch pad' the mouse cursor wasnt moving! This guy is a complete faaaarkwit! i really wanted to tell him to take a hike. Completely un co-operative, didnt want my help, just wanted to tell me how frustrated he was. Im gona have to medidate on this one for a bit, becasue im really pissed off now! and for what? Some idiot who doesnt know shit from shit! Im gona relax and take it into perspetive, that its not his fault, its my fault for accepting his shit. I will try and offload this shit into the sky or something like this. At least the weather is nicewr today. Sunny and getting warm. The picture was taken form here.

Melbournes weather is..Bipolar!

Monday 13 October 2008 - 13:27:9

After a weekend of 28, sunny and mild winds, i awoke today not at all surprised that it was cold, rainy and windier then long-john-silvers kitchen. I think its official that this citys weather is somehow mentaly disabled! Picture taken from Here

Replacing a server System Board

Friday 10 October 2008 - 13:18:0

Today, I had the pleasure of replacing a system board on the previously mentioned dead server. First time for me. The whole server had to be dismantled, which was suprisingly easy. Access to all the insides was very good, i was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to dissasemble and reassemble. The server turned on and so far so good My sunny friday is looking that much better. Last nights Yom kippur dinner was pretty filling as well. Id have to say that i wasnt as hungry this time round, compared to previous years.

Yom Kippur, Hunger and Dead Motherboards

Thursday 9 October 2008 - 15:46:55

Well its Yom Kppur again. Im hungry. Its almost 4pm nd im hungry. Dinner is at 8. Im not as pissed of as usual thoug. I meditated in the morning and went to shull for an hour. Its a gorgeos and sunny day and one of my clients serves decided to psss on to the next world. In the words of engadget and gizmodo writers,it has officialy 'given up its ghost'.

Kerberos + Telstra 3G = 3Hours of painfull VPN not workingness..

Wednesday 8 October 2008 - 15:30:56

I have never had any problems with Kerberus, nor really know much about it. But turning it off, solved the problem i was having with Outlook. Bloody bullshit! 3 HOurs of digginng through forums, about this and that. All because of the Telstra 3G crad that wont behave like it should! Transparante data carriage my arse!

Daylight Savings is not cool

Tuesday 7 October 2008 - 10:33:49

Asside from the fact that i now need to wake up 1 hour earler to goto work, Daylight Savings has proven to once again be annoying in many other ways. They primary way has to do with the continues adjustments that are made to time zones in Windows, or the lack there off in Windows Server based systems. Keeping Windows update turned on is EVIL to say the least on a production server, so you never know when you are goign to get called by 30 clients in the span of 30 minutes! Thats 1 minute per client!!! Oh and Dan, the electric scooters dont work, unless you want to ship me some UPS batteries to get these things into turbo mode! I gues you will have fark all to do here so you can maybe fix it for me!

Wireless N anyone?

Monday 6 October 2008 - 19:29:50

After months of screwing around with my shitty Netgear A,B,G WiFi Router, fine tunning the thing like a piano, and hours of troubleshooting i finaly gave up on it. My Airport express just kept on dropping out, dropping in, working, not working! So i bought one of these beauties, the Linksys WAP-4400N. Its a Wireless N access point. Basically a wireless switch. Its great! It has 3 Physical antenas, starts up in under 8 seconds and has sweet sweet security. So no-one can hack into this little baby. Ill talk to Jeremy about this one... My interent was down again over the weekend, i think sunday??? A fuse went out, and seeing as i dismantled my UPS and put its batteries to use on a scooter Neel found on the street, my server and broadband went down! The scooter is still in parts however. Got to get a better UPS for it!

Oh man my job is boooring today

Tuesday 30 September 2008 - 11:25:42

Im setting up a tiny little computer for a clients boardroom. The monitor is a HUGE panasonic Plasma about 6 times the size of the pc itself. The screen gives off butloads of heat. Soon as you stand near it you can feel it. Anyway,im not really into it today,i didnt go for an early morning swim and i feel tired for no reason. Uninstalling bloatware from acer pc's is really sooper boring! J if ure reading this,leave me a comment to say your alive.

The sound of SCSI on a Monday

Monday 29 September 2008 - 15:56:54

Do you want to know wat I'm up to? I thought not,so get lost then and close the page...If your still reading however,im running a CHKDISK on a servers system drive. The SCSI RAID sounds like a mini jackhammer. On a serious note,this better work..Its 4pm and tonight is the 1st night of Rosh Ha Shana. Shana Tova and a happy new Jew year to all you joos out there,worshiping or not. I wont be attending service this year,mabe yom kipur... Havnt made up my mind yet.

A new Server to satisfy the corporate data greed

Friday 26 September 2008 - 17:21:6

Right now i am upgrading this big corporates server. They are getting a newy, 8 x Xeons 5gb ram and a killer Raid system. I will probably be here all night long. Mmmm all night long... I should have brought more food!

Why did i takemy car today?

Thursday 25 September 2008 - 10:49:5

Its supper sunny and warm and Im in my hot ass car. Should have taken my bike. Traffic is shit today,builders everywhere and everyones rude. Had to wait for like 30 cars to pass before i could change lanes.

They stole my idea!!!

Wednesday 24 September 2008 - 12:14:18

Bastards!

Boom Box in an Eski

Internet down all day long

Wednesday 24 September 2008 - 10:1:52

So, yeah i made a small mistake and my housemate took my guidance the worng way and plugged all the network cables from the wireless box back into the router and then back again onto the wireless box. What do you know, loop backs really screw with a network! So anyhow if anyone was tryign to get to this page....ok fine the maybe 2 people that do, im sorry.

This PC has a trojan on it..

Wednesday 17 September 2008 - 15:16:47

Trojan Brand Sticky Tape that is. Wow that was sooo nerdy...Anyone have a better caption for this one??

DNS you take too long

Tuesday 16 September 2008 - 12:13:3

My DNS hosting company is taking their sweet time propogating the new domain i bought! Whats the matter with you, its been 4 days now!! J man if you are reading this, i have some cake for you from the weekend. Dan, sorry i cant send this to you, the POST will probably put me in jail!

A new domain for my plans of web domination

Friday 12 September 2008 - 15:42:57

Say hello to www.elecdashtronallinletters.org ...yes... this was yet another crazy decision but im sticking to it! for now it will just forward to this site.

Hes not here yet,got get some breakfast and come back...

Thursday 11 September 2008 - 9:24:46

Gota love a Thursday morning when a client tells you to go have breakfast because the guy with the problem is late. haha. ok.. so as you guessed it its thursday,im at some snooty caffe on toorak rd,only one with poridge(i have this thing with poridge now). It took the waiter like 10 minutes to take my order even though the older banker types aroundme had waitreses hovering around them every few minutes. Im happy though and thats the most imporant thing.

Goodbuy American Express

Wednesday 10 September 2008 - 14:6:55

They offered $100 cash if i didnt cancel it...BUT I DID hahahahah

Monday monday....

Friday 5 September 2008 - 11:50:51

This is my monday morning office,as yoy can see its a small room about 3m by 2m. it has a desk, a server,a phone and A/C. I need a toilet though

1 week after

Friday 5 September 2008 - 11:44:38

So its been about a full working week from my return to society. I wont say normal society,because there is nothing normal about it. I will say that the CBD is still pretty much insane. I have been into the city 3 times this week and its just intense. I walked by some guys doing some work with a jack hammer on the sidewalk, and my head was spinning as i walked away. On a positive note, im much more focused WHEN I want to be. Its easier for me to concentrate and the urge to 'bail' is not so great as before. Im getting up an hour earlier to meditate,which makes breakfast well earned. On the other hand im seeing certain people in a different light,some more positive a fewquite negative. Besides that,it was good having Rowan here for a few days. Dan,your next.

Im back

Tuesday 2 September 2008 - 10:42:29

That was enlightening

10 Days of Silence

Tuesday 19 August 2008 - 12:6:8

On Wednesday i will be going to vipassana. 10 days of meditation, 0 communication and insight. If anyone needs to get intouch with me, i will be unreachable, but in case of emergencies call Mon, shell know how to reach me. Hope everone who reads this has a good 2 weeks ahead, cause im not gona post anything for a while.

Thursday. Dull thursday

Thursday 14 August 2008 - 10:4:38

On todays menu we have SSL Certificates, Blackberries, Exchange users, Printing to files and people who call me whilst im in the toilet. Today is once again cold, and Melbourne will attempt to piddle down a little water.

Video Conferencing...Dos this make me look fat

Wednesday 13 August 2008 - 12:47:35

This is one large screen. Its not a good one,standard pioneer plasma but it does teleconferencing via a 2mb up/down dedicated SHDSL link. I called someone in singapore, and was told to stop scratching myself. Its amazing the things we take for granted when speaking on the phone. For me,i hope video conferecing on this scale stays corporate. Consumer ue of this would mean that i can no longer make bussines calls to my clients from the bathroom....Click on the start menu,oh no thats not the urinal,your seeing things,you should upgrade your connection.

Gangsta cool or...

Monday 11 August 2008 - 14:52:12

You pull the monitor out of its stand to hard and it hits you in the face. Thankfully no stitches are required,butit kaned!! Bloody monitor stands,cant they have a simple elease mechanism not some hard ass plastic clips. I learnt my lesson though,the next monitor stand got the old 'screwdriver to the clips' trick.

The little slave

Thursday 7 August 2008 - 13:54:3

This poor as little laptop,and it is little, is so overutelized it looks painfull. Im out of things to write today,siting here waiting for windows update to finish its thing.

What to do if you want a new laptop

Tuesday 5 August 2008 - 16:23:37

So you work for a corporate,youre sick of your borring ass laptop,its old and plastic. So do what this guy did,turn it on,hld it infront of you and procaiously walk dwn the stairs like a drunken footy player. Proceed to trip over your self and drop the laptop onto a concrete floor. Make sure it falls directly onto the corner and tumbles at least 4 times. I managed to pull the hardisk out of thismangled mess,but every other piece of hardware was crushed!! Even the RAM modules.

You gota give it to the TAC

Monday 4 August 2008 - 14:36:40

Best anti drug driving add i have seen so far. The advertising gurus behind the TAC are geniouses. Its also the funniest thing ive seen in a while from them. Having grown up on the old 'if you drink and drive,youre a bloody idiot' and the ever ingraned 'Buckle up,or suffer the pain' this is classis.

How the Religion and the IPhone Ruined my weekend

Monday 4 August 2008 - 12:23:36

When youre goign away for the weekend to relax and enjoy the quiet calm of nature, there are definitley 2 things i dont want to hear about:

The late Train & Strange Passengers

Tuesday 29 July 2008 - 11:7:48

Weird and loony people i have on this carriage. Theres the mum with 3 boys,all dressed out of a catalog,straw hat and messenger bag over shoulder(btw they are like 6 maybe..). 3hen the 3 chatty 15 year old girls,the standard gay guy talking about his hair on his phone. A guy whos too cool for a seat,asshole is loitering in the doorway not letting anyone hrough. A skatey or 4,some wiggas...You could make a movie out of these people.

My first post from our OLPC

Friday 25 July 2008 - 11:59:5

Took me while to locate where the pictures are stored once you take them using the onbord camera....Weather update.its lovely outside.

Skype on our OLPC

Thursday 24 July 2008 - 22:14:23

I got Skype working on our OLPC. I can call btoh skype and skype out,the audio quality is reasonable. Video is another thing...After 2 hours of tweaking i still cant get skype to get a video signal properly!!! Aaaarg!! I did manage to install the fake video device which is supposed to make skype video work. I got it to steam from the webcam to the screen(shot above)but failed at getting skype to see it properly. Besides that,when i activate video on my end the audio dies out as if there is not enough power/bandwidth! Thanks for the debbuging Dan!

Thursday,sunny Thursday

Thursday 24 July 2008 - 11:5:45

Bedi is Back!

Tuesday 22 July 2008 - 10:13:58

Woke up at 5am today and drove to the airport with Neel. Props to Neel for driving and picking me up. Got Bedi from the airport, went for a quick swim, sauna and steam and a nicely fresh cooked masala omlet and coffe at neels place. First time i have ever done any excercise in the morning. I feel really awake, but im a bit tired in my body.

Glow Stick Fluid - Flood LIghting

Sunday 20 July 2008 - 23:39:32

This was my 1st test of the glow stick fluid. I placed 8 Small containers of fluid underneath the objects in the scence. The Immage in the Blog is a crop of the original which can be seen here. The flood lights didnt really light up the scene enough. Prolonged exposure on the film, blew out the light sources but did nothing for the unlit areas. So i went crazy and sprayd the entire scece with what was left of the fluid. ALl the shots were taken using 645 ISO-100 Film, which i will put up later in the week. The 1st polaroid i took, however, was awesome. I will scan it in soon.

Glow Sticks and Artificial Light

Saturday 19 July 2008 - 22:36:45

I like glowsticks. I like them so much that i have disected a whole pack of them today. Spent about 1 hour, dividing the chemical contents to create something awesome! Ever though...Wouldn't it be cool to paint with glow sticks???

Well i did! I had about 20 small sticks, each one was carefully cut open at the ends and the liquid was drained from each. The inner glass tune was then carefully removed. I colected about 40mls of reactant clear liquid. Then i washed each glass tube carefully, dried them and broke each open into a nother container, I got about 30mls of color dye. I split the 2 different mixtures in 4 syringes and began mixing them. My initial idea was to use them as highlight areas on long exposure photography. The picture on the blog entry is 2 shots one in Color one in B&W check out the full res shots:

Tuesday 15 July 2008 - 10:9:39

Just my luck huh? 1st day back after beeing sick,still sick. and some bloody RAM module shits itself. Why on a tuesday? Why not yesturday,when i wasnt in? On the upside,there was no traffic at all comming into the city from my place. The city has an eary feel about it today. Best left alone. Having breaky in my fav little caffe,thats switched owners and is no longer my fav.

The cold finaly cought up to me

Monday 14 July 2008 - 16:19:10

Last night, my immune system gave way. My throat was in pain, i had flegm and snot, and was hot and sweatty from a slight fever. I havnt been sick for a long time, so i figgured i should take today off work. Since waking up at 11am i have consumed around 4 x Pots of tea, equivelent to 6 liters of it. I added massive chunks of chopped up ginger, to clear my throat, which has obviously worked. The flegm is clearing and my fever has gone. I also heated up some soup. My own home made pumpkin soup. So what are you, my loyal readers up to?

A post from Mikis apple thingamagic

The dont make them like this anymore. You turn this thing on and it makes a soohing hum. You press the keyboard and it makes a sound like a german farted...precise,calculated,acurate and hard.

Could i be any clearer?

Wednesday 9 July 2008 - 12:3:49

Remember tapes? How easy it was to stick a tape into a player and listen to music? Well,tapes are still used for data backup, compared to some backup systems,its pretty easy...

1. Come in,in the morning

2. Take tape out of server 1 and server 2

3. Insert new tape into server 1 and server 2

4. Repeat daily(whether you have a hangover or not)

Obviosuly not so easy to follow for some. I dont like delegating important duties to people who dont care 1 bit about them

Early morning swim...

Tuesday 17 June 2008 - 11:48:44

Oh man did i bail on this one. The plan was to go swimming monday morning. I had to get up at 7am and had about 1 hour to swim, if i got there at 7:30am. Problem was, i only had a 50c coin for parking and you need like $4! So thats my story and im sticking to it....

Wind chimes on balconies

Wednesday....2 days untill the weekend

Wednesday 11 June 2008 - 14:46:31

I do like Wednesdays. Not just because there is a silent D in the word, but becasue its the middle of the week. Its the highest physical point on a path, that once overcome, all is pretty much downhill. I have foudn in the past that Thursday and friday become mount everests but then saturday is the beautiful Abys of a cool dark Ocean. Enough with the weird analogys though, how you doin? Yeah i know theres only 2 readers of this out there, Mon may be the 3rd! i should keep a counter on this site. SO guys, you knwo who you are, any improvements youd like to see on this blog, im kinda out of ideas today. BTW, J i still have your umbrella, i will put it in the car and bring it on the weekend.

The long weekend was not long enough

Tuesday 10 June 2008 - 12:39:55

This Queen and and her fake birthday, it should be longer. Why cant she have a bday party like an indian wedding, going on for a whole week! She deserves it! This weekend was plum fantastic, a list of things i did included:

Food Shopping(no thanks to J), buyng a new camera(Mamiya 546 Pro TL), saying farewell to Jayne(shes going to Byron Bay to skip with the pixies(Kim)), Saw the new Narnia movie(2.5 hours of Yawn-ia), Hung out with Niki(Mikhalina did not attent becasue of her cars headlights...), my washing at neels place(Thanks to Marcelo for keeping me company) and dinner at my parents house which was fun as always. Dan, hold on to your hopes with miss brazil, its not gona happen, but her prove me wrong and ill be even happier. For anyone else who reads this blog....mmm no one reads it so i wont write this bit it

My Temporary Office

Friday 6 June 2008 - 14:31:48

Well...its friday,not just any friday but the friday of a long weekend. Unlike most fridays,fridays that preceede long weekends are far better. They have a feeling of relief,the kind you feel deep within you as you carry a 30Kg server from one place to another and know deep down,one day im gona take the elevator to the 16th floor and throw this this off the roof. But,because i have no real plans for this weekend,excpet the usual shopping adventure on Saturday(j u in this week?),this friday remains boring. Tonight ill go for a swim at the st k. Sea Baths with Liad. I just found out that Tali has a blog....a better blog then mine. I really need to put someeffor into this thing and stop taking pictures from my morning bathroo trips on my phone

Lightbulbs for dishwashers anyone?

Thursday 5 June 2008 - 11:30:19

Ok,its 11pm,you cant be bothered turning the light on in the kitchen. You open the dishwasher to put your dirty dishes in,to find it brightly iluminated. I my fridge has a light inside,why cant my dishwasher??(patend pending) on another note, Nikki is back from ireland,ken is following shortly. Good to have her back. The picture is of the front of one of those office shredders. Supposably,little children shouldnt be put into these,who would have thought!!!

Jody you never bought that cerial

Monday 2 June 2008 - 17:49:28

Saturday again!

Saturday 31 May 2008 - 13:3:34

The dreaded D.R.P

Tuesday 11 December 2007 - 16:43:47

For all of you out there who dont know what a D.R.P is, you are lucky. It stands for Disaster Recovery Procedure. Companys with allot of dosh on the backs of their computer systems MUST have these in place in case of things like Fires, floods and Idiots! I do these on almost every 3 months! They are not fun! This week i have to do 2, 2 days appart for 2 different companies! Right now im doing a test. I have to restore 2 servers, and 4 desktops and the same time! I really really loathe this shit! 7 days left! I can smell the curry...

What does I.N.D.I.A stand for?

Monday 10 December 2007 - 15:48:28

I have been elightened to a new term,never before heard by me. This came from one of my clients in regards to India...According to them it stands for "Ill Never Do It Again". His multiple tripps to india were always good,they just happened to hear this from someone else. The picture,well im kinda bored. 9 days to go...

10 working days 2 weeks left

Friday 7 December 2007 - 13:45:5

10 working days left,2 weeks till im on the plane. 2 weeks from today,i will be on the plabe to India. I dont know how im gona get through the next 2 weeks. Its agonizing. Just a small side note for Yossi,beind me on this train re 2 very nice looking spanish girls,who look MUCH better then the asian boy-like Columbian girl you like. If only you were here,i ber you would have chatted both of them up.

Telephone companys

Tuesday 20 November 2007 - 13:28:43

Why do phone companys suck so much.Ive been sitting here with a "tech" from a company i wont mention,and its been over 1 and a half hours,still nothing. My head hurts,im falling asleep and the heat outisde is murderous. Its too hot to even be at the beach. i want to jam my head through an icy cold watermelon and eat my way out all day long. I anyone has any ideas how i could do this,please help me. I think ill add a comments function to this blog,not that anyone actualy reads this,but just for fun...and yes i will write the code myself.

My g-d i knew there was a term for this!

Monday 19 November 2007 - 14:40:48

IST - Indian "Stretchable" Time: as defined by http://www.frommers.com/destinations/india/3475024574.html All this time Neel, you had me fooled!

People from India and Time

Monday 19 November 2007 - 14:19:50

I read this one from a web site on manners and customs in India.... "Since they(indian people) do not like to give negative answers, Indians may give an affirmative answer but be deliberately vague about any specific details.This will require you to look for non-verbal cues, such as a reluctance to commit to an actual time for a meeting or an enthusiastic response". This goes out to all my friends, you know who you are, who are always late!

Those TAC Key Tags

Sunday 18 November 2007 - 14:18:7

Remember those Polaroid keyrings we got at the st Kilda festival! Remember how it was almost impossible to get the picture out and replace the TAC slogan with something else? Well I have solved it! 1- Get a piece of blue-tack, about the size of half your thumb 2- Place the blue-tack on the cover of the key ring and mash it in really good so that its got full contact, make sure the blue-tack doesn’t touch the outer walls of the key ring 3- Push the back of the key ring (the slogan side) towards the front (the picture side) just a little 4- Hold the frame with one hand and YANK the blue-tack with the other! 5- Woa la! The cover pops right out!

This one is for Yossi

Thursday 15 November 2007 - 11:35:28

What a coinkidink!!!! The Odometer reads: 333333 The Counter reads: 8888

I have 10 minutes to pull out a 1.6Terabyte tape drive our of a server,install an external SCSI conector on the mothrboard,put the tape drive in its orriginal enclosure and plug it all back in....Like always they left 4 spare screws...

Things we take for granted.

Wednesday 7 November 2007 - 17:39:45

Seeing as ill be off to india in december,ive been thinking of all the things i might miss/take for granted. I have been warns by many that this little baby may not be so popular over there. And seeing as my bagage limit is only 20kg i doubt i could rip this one off the wall and bring it wirh me.sigh...

My latest project

Wednesday 7 November 2007 - 17:36:5

So i have some glitter paint,a light bulb and time to kill...
