This was posted as a spam comment on one of my posts today, and was so spectacular I couldn’t help but post it up. Putting it as text would have just helped the crazy monkey become more legitimate, so here it is in an image form, for your perusal. 🙂

An old woman prospector shuffled into town leading a tired old mule. the old woman headed straight for the only saloon to clear her parched throat.

She walked up and tied her old mule to the hitch rail. as she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, saying “hey old woman, have you ever danced”

So, ugly horrible metal bedframes suck. I needed to come up with a new design for a double-mattress supporting bed frame and here’s my first idea.

The Bed frame completed, in situ.

It comes in a few parts, two top pieces and two side pieces. There’s a minimum of parts to hold it together, with hard wood the frame should lock together with just friction and be all fine. I’m still working out ideas for the legs, but here’s my current thinking.

• His dizzy aunt - Verti Gogh
• The brother who ate prunes- Gotta Gogh
• The brother who worked at a convenience store - Stop N Gogh
• The grandfather from Yugoslavia - U Gogh
• His magician uncle - Where-diddy Gogh
• His Mexican cousin - A Mee Gogh
• The Mexican cousin’s American half-brother - Gring Gogh
• The nephew who drove a stage coach - Wells-far Gogh
• The constipated uncle - Can’t Gogh
• The ballroom dancing aunt - Tang Gogh
• The bird lover uncle - Flamin Gogh
• An aunt who taught positive thinking - Way-to-Gogh
• The little bouncy nephew - Poe Gogh
• A sister who loved disco - Go Gogh
• And his niece who travels the country in an RV - Winnie Bay Gogh

I saw you smiling . . .. there ya Gogh

BREVARD, Jan. 19, 2008 ­

Retired Army Green Beret Smokey Taylor got his court martial this weekend and came away feeling good about it.

Taylor, at age 80 the oldest member of Chapter XXXIII of the Special Forces

Association, was on trial by his peers under the charge of “failing to use a weapon of sufficient caliber” in the shooting of an intruder at his home in Knoxville, TN, in December.

As an Australian, we can’t get away from mobile data caps. It seems to be a bit of a recent issue with some people on the mainland too 🙂 Here’s a quick script I wrote to stop myself forgetting about things a while back.

Add this to your crontab (crontab -e from the terminal):

And put the following into a file (call it whatever you like, but the file path above must match it. Once you’ve made the file make sure to enable the execute bit by typing “chmod +x [filename]” in the terminal.

If you’re getting an error along the lines of this in your syslog while trying to start a DHCPv6 server, you’ve probably got IPv4 ranges in your config file. It seems if it’s in IPv6 mode it can’t deal with IPv4 information being in the config file. :S

So, rip the IPv4 information out of your /etc/dhcp/dhcpd6.conf file and you should be good to go.

Facebook being noisy recently? It started for me too, but this is how to fix it.

• Try going to this link: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=notifications&view
• If that doesn’t work, click on the little gear/settings icon in the top right, then account settings. Once that loads, click on “Notifications” on the left. You should see a screen like this:

• Un-tick the box that says “Play a sound when each new notification is received” and click “Save Changes”. You should see a screen similar to this:

Ingredients:

• 1x 57lt white plastic storage crate
• 3x $6.90 lamps
• 3x 20w fluro lights (get cool white if you can)
• 1m cheap white satin dress material

Method

1. Remove stickers from crate, cut thumb
2. Flail wildly and cut a big hole in the side of the crate with inappropriate tools
3. Lay the white material smoothly along the base and up the back of the box
4. Assemble the lamps
5. Put one lamp on top, one each side all pointing inside
6. Shoot, adjusting settings to taste.

They had a baby Zebra on site - only a couple of months old. He didn’t really understand the whole running thing - quite derpy in fact 🙂

Cute baby Zebra

Hippos!

This is what you mainly see of the hippos.

It took a bit of lucky timing to get a good photo of the Hippos, they spent 95% of the time underwater.
