Cable down
Well the wind has finally quit, and there is even blue sky. But now I think
the repairs must be starting because I have lost cable. So my net connection
and TV are down.
So now is a good time to fix the fence I guess.
Enough already.
Ok, im officially over the wind. I think the piece of metal did come off
someone elses house. And Ive collected all the bits of the front fence I
could find so I think I can rebuild the fence. So if the wind would just
bugger off Id be happy.
Snurrie managed to break our salad oil serving bottle, as well as 2 wine
goblets today and the power is flaky as hell. All in all the day sucked.
This wind sucks
Ok so im wet cold and slightly worried. There is a bunch of solid heavy crap
flying around out there. A big chunk of metal got caught around the
powerline to our house before, and was bashing itself against the roof. I
think (hope) it came off someone elses roof, i guess ill find out in the
daylight.
Someone upwind from us must have left a pile of boxes outside as one of them
smashed through the trellis in our fence and continued on its way up the road.
So i’ll have to try and fix that tomorrow morning before my optometrists
appointment. Winter .. who needs it.
Russ is right!!
Russ has a really good rant about the crap TVNZ coverage of the Olympics.
How come everyone ive talked to overseas gets a nice 2 hour highlights package
each day? I mean live is cool and all, but how does that help me when I’m
asleep?
*#@&@! Tangram
Man what a waste of 3 hours. It turns out that if you deploy a tangram
schema under perl 5.6 then you cant use perl 5.8 to access it. At least
thats what I think went wrong. Working now with both machines running 5.6
Trinity Roots went off
This was a great concert, lots of energy lots of good vibes. There was a big
crowd and 80% of them were dancing along. For a band that gets pretty close
to zero airplay (their songs dont fit the not longer than 3 minutes 30
seconds format that radio stations love) they have a huge following. Well
worth the money, the only shame was it was on the same night as Rachels
party which looked like it was gonna be a lot of fun.
We now have a laptop
Laurel was talking with me on aim last night, and shes off and bought a
compaq presario 2100 something or other laptop. For some ridiculously cheap
price in the US. It has built it wifi so shes gonna take it to starbucks and
see if she can get on the net from there. I seem to be infecting her with
the computer bug.
The Olympics have started.
I really think they should have 2 Olympics as lots of people have jokingly
suggested. A juiced one, and a natural one.
Id watch both, the natural one to see real athletes competing. And the
juiced one on the off chance someone has taken so much performance enhancing
drugs their heart explodes.
Logbot in #koha
Well ive gotten a hacked at version of timebot, which in turn is a hacked at
version of Funbot, running as a logger in #koha now. It has a search
interface at http://www.koha.org/irc/. So
knock yourselves out.
