Could Steve Bucknor take any longer to make LBW decisions. Well yes of
course he could, but he could also make much faster ones. Just when you are
thinking ‘phew, not out’ up goes the finger. Admittedly he’s gotten them
both right so far, but please Steve dont give us false hope.

XFCE
Ive been using this for a couple of weeks now and im loving it. Just like
their slogan says on their website install
it …
and everything goes faster
So if you are looking for a lightweight fully functional alternative to the
likes of KDE or Gnome, I heartily recomend XFCE
Another 3 Koha’s
Well I installed 3 more Koha’s today for people to evaluate. I think that
brings us to 18 installs in the last 2 weeks. Theres certainly plenty of
interest.
The Seven Samurai
I saw the Magnificent Seven on MGM the other day, and it reminded me how
much I liked the original, The Seven Samurai. So when I saw it on special at
blockbuster I bought the DVD, and I am glad I did. So i’m on the hunt now to
find more Kurosawa movies on dvd to build a bit of a collection.
Asus P4S800-MX
If you want to install linux on this, and have the onboard NIC work.
Remember to turn off PNP in the Bios. This bit me for quite a while as all
the devices were ending up on IRQ 0 and being unusable.
Amistad
We watched this movie tonight. It wasn’t the first time either of us had seen
it but we could only remember the plot outline. I’m glad we got it out
again, its a great film kinda slow but very good nonetheless.
Whew!!
Well we met with the seamstress today and she had a suit that looked great
and fit me almost perfetly. Just a few alterations needed.
And the fabric for the ties looks like it will work perfecly. So thats a lot
less stress.
Im on pretty safe ground here I think.
I’m pretty sure I can call Paul Holmes a bag of lardy arsehatness with no
worries as according to the BSA, it’s okay to call people bags of lard. In
fact if you are Paul Holmes you can pretty much insult whoever you want with
no fear of censure, or repurcussion.
According the NZ Herald today (itself a bastion of arsehatness)
‘An MP may be called a “confused bag of lard”, but women who attend rugby
league parties should not be referred to as “moles”, the Broadcasting
Standards Authority (BSA) has ruled.’
I wonder if i’m allowed to call Paul Holmes a confused bag of mole lard. I
hope so, because I just did.
8 Koha hosting installs
And 2 on peoples pc’s so far. Koha is certainly stirring up some interest at
Lianza. Ive got it down to 8 minutes to install Koha on a linux box, Russ
can do it in 10 minutes on a windows machine. Not too shabby at all.
And ive just installed and configured 2 more Koha’s.
UPDATE 2004/09/08: 15 Installs
I think we are up to fifteen installs now. Probably a couple more today I’d
imagine.
Picking Music for the Wedding
How hard was this? Who would have thought it would be so tricky. I think the
main thing is trying to get a good mix of stuff the nzers and americans will
know, plus some stuff for the oldies.
I think we have a reasonable selection now .. we’ll see.
