(Update 30/4/15 there WAS a ) Great review of John Romero’s “Dead” series of movies on K5.

But the site’s gone and they refused the Internet Archive’s services. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/10/25/6750/9089

My funny friend Jessica’s a bit of a goth. Well, a fair bit of a goth. She’s also just out of high school, so she’s funny and cute and stuff. Get her a corset. I’ll probably donate. Maybe. You better too!

Finally I found something told me how to fix my problems with the STUPID compilation issues of late. Delete the file path_dps.m4 from your filesystem!

This page tells you to run this command:

rm /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4

Delete the file, and no more stupid compilation issues. Hooray! Here’s the gentoo bug report if you want more information.

I’ve been invited to a poker game in a week and a bit, so I decided to learn how to play Texas Holdem Poker. Mitchell’s playing on holdempoker.com at the moment, and the interface seems nice, so I decided to log on and have a go. It’s an interesting game, based on the fact that you get two “hole” cards which are your own, and then there’s five cards that gradually come out on the table, once they are all out, then you make your hand. I had a look at the holdempoker.com tutorial, and some other tutorials at about.com. They’ve got some basic info on how the game works, some tips on the strategy while playing holdem, and a page on what hands beat what in poker rules.

Duct Tape Bandaids! That’s entirely cool!

Well it seems that one of my friends, the amazing Wiz from #overclockers may be on call to support the staff in the local hospitals in NT taking care of some of the victims of the most recent Bali bombing. Wow. My thoughts are with you dude, good luck and I wish you’d get a weekend off for once.

Another lame attempt at expressing my feelings, brought to you by ricetek.net.

The exhaust is in today, and I’ve started some of the wiring. The fuel pump run to the back of the car is done, and so is the battery wiring to the relay box. There’s a short run from the relay case to the fuel pump that’s going in the front of the car, just so I know where things are going. The O2 sensor should work out nicely, the controller for it will sit next to the battery under the wiper motor etc. There’s not much more wiring I can do until I get more sensors, and it seems that the short loom I got with the first injection manifold had the wrong connectors for the injectors I have. It’s got two that’ll suit, but one of them doesn’t have a circlip to hold onto the lugs on the injectors, and the other one’s looks like it’s a little warped from heat or something. That means I’ll have to get onto bosch to find some part numbers of connectors so I can just buy them.

Finally, I’ve found myself an image gallery that seems to be relatively easy to use. It’s just a simple thing that scans the directories that I tell it to, and makes up an image gallery from them. It doesn’t make the thumbnails automagically, or anything like that, it just displays the images in a way that’s easy to see - I got it from LazyBoy and it’s called the “Lazy Gallery Plugin”

Yes he is.

It sounds a bit weird, but yes - the first engine is in the gemini. As I I’ve mentioned before, I bought a second engine for the gemini on the cheap, and that’s the first one going in so I can set up the EFI and all the other things I’m putting onto the good engine. This means that when it doesn’t start first go, and everything’s slightly out of whack, it doesn’t cause problems on the engine and do horrible things to it.
