I don’t think it’s possible for an image to contain more win than this.

I sure hope I don’t get Paul Bunyan’s disease and transform into a giant lumberjack!

And I wish I had a gorilla receptionist!

UPDATED - I stand corrected.
Dr McNinja is a webcomic. Rock on.

Shred^Max and a lesson on routers

So, I borrowed Shay’s axe from Mal last night for some shredding action at Marc’s place. I’m always surprised by how much having other people watching you makes you focus in that game. Oh, and a pro face off against a similar-level of skill player = AWE. SOME.

I learned a valuable lesson on configuring routers yesterday: Always assume it’s not going to work, no matter how much preparation you do. All you can do is mitigate the amount of time it takes you to figure out the inevitable problems by having as much reference material as possible easy to hand.

I didn’t have any reference material yesterday, so it took me six hours to find the two commands I needed to enter. I was tired.

Site update?! WTF!

Yes, I haven’t been posting a lot for a long, long time. I think that it’s to do with a lack of focus on exactly what I want to use this site for.

When I first started a blog using Blogger, back in 2000, there weren’t the easy social-networking style sites that exist today. Now, due to my penchant for signing up for stuff, I have this site, a LiveJournal, a Facebook, and a picasaweb for photos.

So I need to think about what the hell I’m using this site for. I’m not going to get rid of it - 7 odd years of history are not thrown away lightly. I am going to give it a redesign, get a bit of Web 2.0 action going on hopefully, and start using it more for howtos and so on for technical stuff, and try and keep life-update stuff to a minimum, or on other services.
