[10:02] Musings
Date: 7/2/05 at 6:02PM
I'm getting REALLY sick of not having my webserver at home. Back in the good old days I used to drop "stuff" onto my site so that I could access it from work or wherever else, now I'm working out of a 10Mb restricted account that does HTTP only. I've lost my reference library (although most of it fits onto a CD I carry anyway) and my SSH tunnels. I also no longer have the ability to host whatever odd applications I wanted to run (ie the whole Sunbird remote calendar thing).
I hope to resolve this shortly as I am days away from signing a rental agreement (yay). Once I've got that sorted I can get a phone line, then an ADSL account and then a computer. THEN I can get a computer and get things happening again. I''m actually wondering if I should just bite the bullet and pay for hosting somewhere. There was an interesting looking company called Bytemark who had a table at LUGRadio Live. They host you on a VM and give you pretty much free reign over your machine. You get a choice of Debian, Gentoo (sweet!) and RedHat. The base package (£15 a month) gives you a static IP, 64Mb of RAM, 15GB of disk and 1Gb of backup space. They also offer time on a compile farm (handy for Gentoo) for getting through nasty compiles on the little machines.
On a non-tech note, whilst living on my friends lounge room floor I have become decidedly non-physical, I guess the proximity of a GTA-enabled XBox and the lack of any real space to swing arms and legs has led to me vegifying. So, I've decided to go and check out Krav Maga. It looks interesting and should keep me pretty fit. I've wanted to try this for a long time. I read about it in a book whilst browsing in Berkelouws about 8 years ago (Aussies are highly commended to make the trip and check it out - if you love second hand bookshops you'll go crazy for this place).
[09:28] A Joke

I'm in at work waiting for a script to run and I've been flipping through a calendar I found with daily jokes, I couldn't let this one go:
Two parrots are sitting on a perch, one turns to the the other and says "Can you smell fish?"
HAHAHAHAHA
OK, sorry.
