It has been a while since I last blogged, so I’d better write a long update on what’s happening.
ratemyrackmountedserver.com expired while I was moving. I decided to leave it dead, as this site kinda bellyflopped anyway. So there’s lots of nice broken links out there to my site… I apologise in advance for all that. I was stuck on dialup for about three weeks
at my new house. It took a little longer to get DSL provisioned than I had planned. So it’s back to mic.kyed.com for a little while.
iPrimus is the shittyest ISP ever. I like how their prepaid access kits were easy to use, but due to them having nonstandard Windows servers running the dialins, I had to use Windows as a gateway for a while. So I ended up setting up a Windows 2003 box with ICS for a few weeks. That’s now been wiped, and was probably comprimised during that time. Good on them. Also due to having to put a Windows server in the way and iPrimus’ very strict 5 hour session limits, my website was down for a while.
I’m now back up again, as of about two weeks ago. I just haven’t been bothered to write anything 
Now I think I may finally be bothered to get a new domain for myself… maybe. Once I find some spare money.
On the Saturday after my birthday, I had a rather subdued 18th party, due to the fact half of us had the flu. Oh well, good to catch up with some people. Last Saturday I went to LPC with some friends. It was good, though much bigger and slightly more serious than I’m used to. I wasn’t too worried, and we (myself, sherman, Hotsuma, Eecore) managed to trick Thrashbarg into having Windows running on his computer. It was only Windows 95, but Thrashbarg’s earlier zealotry on IRC made it still rather good. He argues that it didn’t count because it wasn’t installed on his hard drive. Oh well
I went to another shedlan this weekend. Much was discussed, much files were moved, and many classic games were played, from around the time I was born! It was freaky in that regard.
ratemyrackmountedserver.com
notice: I’m moving house next weekend, so the server will be down during this time… until I get my internet connection setup again. Lets hope I can actually get ADSL2+.
I’ve started TAFE again, and once again I go into the interesting mode where I blog not as often as I should, for various reasons, mainly coming down to my own laziness. I picked up a wireless access point on the weekend, and it’s already proved quite nice for being able to instantly setup a network link to my current, temporary place of residence. Being stuck on my laptop I’m not so hot on, though I think I finally have the wireless link setup in a way where I don’t have 70% packet loss.
Maybe I’ll actually get the rest of my “kit” together and not be stuck on my laptop anymore.
TAFE has been rather easy this week with my lecturer for both classes yesturday being off sick, and today the lesson not going in due to the lecturer not getting their laptop yet. Probably tomorrow will actually be the first real class for the semester. And it’s a Friday morning. I love Friday mornings like I enjoy being dragged along a main road at 100 km/h barefoot. Woohoo.
Yesturday we (myself, James, Laska and Michelle) saw a game between Adelaide Avalanche and Central Coast Rhinos.
Well, not so much a game, but a complete thrashing: 8 – 1. Though I did
come in expecting Adelaide to win
hands down, with Adelaide being at the top
of the ladder.
The first period nobody scored. In the second period the two teams played
more offensively and less defensively. In the third period, the Rhinos
played more defensively, and I thought they were more demoralized and
focused on damage control. The rhinos’ players were taken off a few times.
After the game bloodmatch, we headed to the city, did a bit of a
survey and got dinner at an expensive city café. After, there was some ice cream eaten, and we headed out to Marion. Met up with some of Laska’s friends and
played a couple of games at Marion.
Now, for some more coding fun. Trying to get mod_python session management to work…
Hey.. This aint Mickey obviously. It’s one of teh panda wardriving crew. And because I aint used dvorak in so long, I just got shitty and changed his dvorak thingy to qwerty. Lucky I can touch type because all Mickey’s keys
are retarded as he decided to mangle his keyboard, so some of his letters are like, sideways, upside down, inside out, etc.
James has hair on his feet.
We decided to have an in-night tonight instead of going out wardriving or adventuring or whatever. So, me (Laska), James and Mickey sat around watching various stuff. We were gonna go to the fire station and watch, but eh.. too much effort
Anyway.. gtg.. ciao!
