Moved Day
All done. Well, the PC is moved anyway. And configured finally to play live tv again. The table where it used to live is still sorta unavailable for use...but you get that. After shot? After shot. w00ty t00ty. Read More...
Rumours have been greatly exaggerated.
I would like to state categorically and unequivacally, right now, that the rumours you may have heard are completly unfounded. I'm a little saddened that no one thought to simply ask me instead of wildly speculating. Please, just ignore what you may be Read More...
Aliveness
If I may, just for a moment, quote the esteemed Martin Riggs.. We're back, we're bad, you're black and I'm mad. I decided two months ago - yes, two full frickin months - that I wanted to start blogging again. It's taken this long for webhost4life to pull Read More...
Cross Culture Experiences
A friend of mine in Phoenix, Arizona asked me to send her some vegemite. I won't name her, for anonymity is important. Let's just call her ' Teh Mandeh '. So I did. When Teh Mandeh received it, she tasted it for the first time on webcam, so I could watch. Read More...
I found another 2 headed thingo
You may recall a post of mine recently about a peice of graffiti where one of the people had two heads. Late last week I was wondering back from a lunch date (not that sort of date) and found (quite by accident) another one of them. That's two. The second Read More...
Rule 34 of the Internet
XKCD is a comic that I really like. Just read it, it's great. Anyway, this one in particular stands out to me as oh so true. (Note: yes, wetriffs.com does exist now :) In the last 12 hours, it's been proved to me twice. I found this about 10 minutes ago Read More...
What do YOU talk about at work?
Today's been pretty wierd. I share an office with one other person, so we're chatting to each other all the time. Often it's work related chatter. And I'm sure that today is no exception. The thing is that besides all that, I was thinking over some of Read More...
Reinstalling the media center box, part 1.
As I glossed over on my last post, I've been reinstalling my media center pc. So far I've: Formatted C Drive Installed Vista Installed the motherboard, audio, video, tv card, and bluetooth drivers. And that's enough for tonight. I'se tired and sleepy. Read More...
Graffiti...please explain.
I don't mean explain the whole concept of graffiti. I know what it is. Hell, I'm sure I've even done some myself - on my desk at school if no where else (and I'm pretty sure it's nowhere else, now I think about it). Some is stupid, some is rude, some Read More...
Escape From Fnordish - Chapter 1
Late last year (ish) myself and Kari, a friend of mine, were killing time, and we ended up maing up a story. It's certainly not serious or anything like that (quite the opposite even), but it was fun. It all happened in an IM window, and I believe it Read More...
So, Whatcha Been Up To?
Well, not that much really. Work is flat out, but fun, so I'm happy :) In the off hours, I've mostly been running my net connection downloading tv shows. Last month (12th December-11th Jan) my 40 gig download limit was used up 5 days before the end, so Read More...
It's All About Trust
No, this isn't a security port - at least, not security in the way that Rocky would talk about it :) Last night Jordie and I had to go a meeting at Issy's school. On the way home from picking her up (before we went to the meeting) she asked who'd be babysitting Read More...
Yo Peeps
It happened so long ago that I don't even remember why I did it, but I've just been informed that I've been listed on 25peeps.com . You know, now that I think about it, it's pretty dumb idea. Maybe it's fine for normal blogs, but for tech blogs? I don't Read More...
It's Funny What You See When You're Sitting On The Couch
Note: This is post is completely non-geeky, entirely personal, has no references to coding, contains only a drive-by reference to computers and the net, and links to a blog that is completely and utterly not safe for work. If you only want to read about Read More...
My Sister Deserves Death, But Only After A Lot Of Pain
My sister sent me a link to this site last week. It's a riddle site. They're really hard. I love em. I'm currently on level 56, which means I've almost finished all the ones that are there so far. Now I can't sleep. Gah! Die Deb, die! :) Read More...
