25/09/2010 23:16:07...or don't do it at all.
13/08/2010 14:26:59Fri 13: Other Sysadmin has recursively chown'd / to himself on $work's staging box. Goodbye sanity in /etc, /sbin, /usr/sbin and friends.

19/07/2010 15:53:18Naturally, by the time you've got everything up and running, the problem that you're trying to fix, has fixed itself.
22/06/2010 14:07:27Glastoroute part 1: 'Escape From New Shopping Centre"
29/05/2010 16:16:39Is when you're in the pub, and a man walks past the window with a lobster in a box.
03/05/2010 18:04:14"If you're good, you can ride the donkey. If you're bad, the donkey can ride you."
22/04/2010 09:34:05Otherwise you'll be wondering why nothing works the way you expect. It's always fun when people forget to renew their domain then wonder why their site stops working.
05/01/2010 12:19:37Two VATs don't make a right. They do, however, make an excellent way of disposing of "the evidence".
02/12/2009 14:23:03Sadly, that's the best thing about today.
16/11/2009 15:43:39Then you're entirely accurate in saying "Vista? I'm sorry, I've never used it. Have you tried ringing the people you bought the machine from?"
16/11/2009 15:43:39Tactically, its worth using a version of windows that's at least one major release *behind* that of your "customer".
26/09/2009 12:22:24I'm in the wrong dayjob, obviously.
26/09/2009 11:35:30Its actually pretty easy. Call the first one 'miracle', the second one 'backup', and the third one 'whoops'. Job done.
17/08/2009 11:06:14Amazingly, you can't do "sudo -u root bash" on a Cisco PIX, no matter how many times you try.
13/08/2009 15:28:35If there *isn't* a hoover in earshot, start humming anyway. With luck other people will join in.
02/08/2009 14:56:16Basically the same as festivals, apart from you generally don't need to sleep on your wallet or go for a crap with a headtorch.
27/06/2009 10:06:24I'm currently at 2 for 2 on celebrity takedown - the workcycle goes as follows:
29/12/2008 01:50:56It's like recording TV, skipping thru the program, and watching the cornerblip and the adverts.
25/12/2008 15:59:31Oh, and Merry Xmyth, if anyone's readig this on 25/12/08.
21/11/2008 16:53:57At this rate I'll end up writing a CGI that comments about itself, and I can go down the pub. Job done.

16/11/2008 15:51:08Who's caning the server space?
07/11/2008 21:37:41and as per most other docs, set your working directories to a removeable device (8 gig SD chips are cheap now, anything else is a false economy), and aim Audacity's mp3 export prefs at /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0 - and done.
07/11/2008 21:37:41Works nicely. There's been a few posts on the net with people having trouble getting the above combination working. My recipe (assuming standard EEE Xandros distro on an EEEPC701, and no farting about compiling anything):

28/05/2008 19:00:04They say "you can't go home again". What they don't say is "a round will be fecking expensive if you do".
18/05/2008 04:13:34Oh yes. f*ck yes. Bring on Glade Festival 2008, this year's going to be an absolute belter.
04/05/2008 11:17:27sod web 2.0, we're web 0.2
22/03/2008 09:51:44Minor updates to the code, we're still not using a purple database, but there's better formatting in the output, with hacking about with the output engine.
