So my latest idea is try every brand of chocolate milk I can find in the
USA. So far i’v only tried 2.
I’m sure I can find a couple more today. I’m not sure what our plan is
today, Laurel is still sleeping with a bit of a sore tummy, I think shes not
used to american food/portions anymore. So I’m gonna go for a bit of a
wander around and see what I can see.
Well starbucks may be the scourge of the coffee drinkers world, but they are
certainly handy for getting an internet connection. Currently i’m sitting in
a starbucks outside SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art) while Laurel
wanders around the Museum.
The flight over was pretty good, Laurel and I got block of 4 seats to
ourselves so that was good. And Immigration and customs were a tonne easier
and faster then Hell A X.
This morning we wandered around Chinatown which is a lot like wandering
around Shanghai. Not sure what we are doing this evening probably trying to
catch up on some sleep.
Trevor Mallard, the minister of Education and Race Relations, and a
complete arsehat has today taken a big swipe at maori culture and values.
Mr Mallard also had issues with the way some immersion or bilingual units at
mainstream schools operated.
“In a small number of cases principals have not been able to supervise these
units effectively because they have been shut out of the classrooms because
they cannot speak Maori.
“This is unacceptable. Principals have to be able to exercise leadership
across the school.
Ive got a solution for you then, you moronic arsehat. How about the cracker
principals learn to speak Maori. After all it is an official language.
He also had this other gem “What ran through my mind was the number of
powhiri I attend at co-ed schools where female students . unlike at Sacred
Heart College . are relegated to a supporting role.” Drivel, without
females a powhiri cant start and it cant end. I call that pretty damn crucial.
Trevor Mallard and all the rest of the redneck crackers, if you dont
like Maori culture and Maori values .. go live somewhere else.
We had a really productive koha development team meeting on irc the other day.
You can read the log of the meeting here .
The main points are.
So its all go in Koha land.
So much to do and only one working day left to do it all. Ah well, ill just
have to do as much as I can and hope nothing top urgent crops up.
At least we seem to have everything pretty much sorted for the wedding,
things keep clicking into place and we’ve yet to have a big drama. Perhaps
we should write a book on how to organise a wedding from 14436 km’s away.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
