Next up were the Rhinos, which the guide described as just like big puppies, who like to come and say hello to new visitors. Thankfully this guy didn’t decide to come and play, because a tonne and a half of snuggly puppy makes for quite a dented truck.

Having three family birthdays in as many weeks is ok when you’re in school and a family dinner is pizza, but these days it’s a restaurant affair. So, we’ve merged it into one and tonight was 2013’s event. Singaporean place in Runcorn, wasn’t bad… spicy Kung Pow Chicken was great 😀
You’d be excused for thinking that it was Elliot’s birthday, but with his cuteness, the close quarters and my limited shooting range he gets the lion’s share of the attention as usual 🙂 <3 my new 50d 😀
[Read More]I’m terribly behind on the 52Lists thing, so I’m playing catch-up. 🙂 Favourite childhood shows is an interesting one, especially since everyone’s got a different temporal availability of shows 🙂

While updating the configs on a bunch of our Cascade Shark appliances I had to do it via SSH (yay for someone stuffing the RADIUS configurations!)
sed’s neat, but of course anything with regex can make you angry. Once I’d tested it a bunch of different ways I went with this. The cat’s are for my own checking – I copy and paste the terminal into a big “log of my brainfarts” when doing stuff at 5am.
[Read More]I think this covers most things… not in order. I have to say that Incident and Problem Manager would have been the best - making sure what gets broken is fixed again - were I not hobnailed by a mad management team. 🙁
… especially when you don’t have to walk past the cabinet offering Canon 50D bodies for $399.
My long suffering 350D has given me some hilariously reliable service and has some great bumps and scratches on it, but seeing that price today really sold me on upgrading it. I did actually walk away, going away for exactly two and a half hours before rushing back to secure a shiny new-ish toy.
My (new) precious… marks around the flash are just finger-dust.
Here’s the list:
Not a huge list, but a list nonetheless 😀
[Read More]I was driving to the Werribee Open Plains Zoo and I saw this sign. It was at the entrance to a farm, and the road looked fairly long, so .. yeah. Legit I suppose.
A little further down the road, there was this. That’s definitely not a 30k road, unless you do a few laps!
Now that’s just silly. I blame the fact that I was lost and slightly high on excitement from surviving shopping in Werribee (is it as stabby as it seems?) but this definitely isn’t 10 km long.
[Read More]It seems when I’m working too quickly and swapping between Chrome and vim I’ve hit Cmd+R and done something horrible. I get a “E388: couldn’t find definition” error when trying to use the (mainly) left arrow key to move around.
A quick fix was found on a twitter post about the issue, and all you need to do is type:
Then hit enter. It’ll probably prompt you to hit enter again after a bit of screen-flashy.

Blah blah journal incoming.
So I figured that driving to the pool was a silly idea, it’s only about 7km according to Google maps! Then again, there’s the whole “I haven’t ridden my bike since before I was sick” thing. Suffice to say, braving Old Cleveland road at 4pm wasn’t the most fun idea… especially with the amount of storm debris that was laying around. It seems that most of that 7km is uphill on the way to the pool, ugh.
