ksh 93

Bloody hellfire.

If you don't fix things, they break

A decade is a longish time

Deary me. The X-Files have not aged well.

Jolly good!

Stephen Fry likes Linux, and tells you why. Good on him. I recommend the Fedora Project myself.

You'd think this wheel would've been invented again by now

It is unfeasibly difficult to get a modern version of RPM for Solaris 10, either built from scratch or as a package of some sort. This Should Not Be. I refuse to use native Solaris packaging as it's awful beyond comprehension, and besides, I want to use my leet RPM skillz0rs. Also - why, yes, it has been over a year since I last posted here. Wheee! Job good!

Great Googly Moogle

Signed a shiny new contract for a shiny new job yesterday. Go me.

Went out for a few drinks and a meal with some BookCrossing people last night, now my other toe is sore. Damn you, genetics. Damn you, purines. Too much beer/meat I guess, but uigar cuisine is very me-ish indeed. I regret nothing.

Start next Thursday. Really looking forward to it.

The Weekly Me

In this week's headlines

• I discovered what Gout is like. Not recommended.
• Moved my domains over to Google Apps for Domains. If you'd love the CIA to read your mail, send me some.
• Pulling beers as a volunteer for the National Folk Festival is to be my doom
• Had my fifth and hopefully last (in a good way) job interview for Prestigious Company Foo

Bookcrossing this week, and I've barely touch my new stack. Oh noes!

I'm skint, so click on a link. After a year or so, I'm up to US$Bugger-all.

Colliding geekery - Linux guitar project

I used to be a bit of a guitar geek, you could say - regular trips to the various guitar shops in Brisbane to see what was new, who was hanging out, and so forth. I'm kind of a Busy Professional sort-of-thing these days, and I got into choraldom as well, so haven't devoted much time to the old axe.

This project might get me playing around again. What a nice idea. Of course, it's only a short step from there to ax84.com, the co-operative guitar amp project.

How will I ever find the time to buy a C38 and build a model railway?

It's a shame all the really cheap hobbies suck. I guess there's always beer.
