The Receptacle - The Receptacle
My domain has just been redelegated (I've got the best hosting setup imaginable, as in I work at my registrar, and the sysadmin and DNS admin are right down the hall.) There *might* be some issues as things propogate but I've done some digging in DNS and things are good to go.
*crosses fingers*

Apparently faster startup and load, obviously YMMV.

Stupidity. technology. They don't mix . Maybe they should make a reading of 'The Art of Deception' compulsory in high school, or something. Assuming Paris here actually went.

Moving to receptacle.org
Today's Earworm- Lonely as You - The Foo Fighters
Moving the whole shebang to receptacle.org.
Things *might* be a little dodgy for a bit until I get the links sorted, etc. DNS redelegation will probably take place tomorrow, there might be a failover period. (Hey, *I* care.)

Socks and underwear
For my birthday, the folks gift voucher bought me socks and underwear. (No, I'm not posting the latter).
Happy V-Day
These arrived unexpectedly yesterday. There were flowers, choccies, and a balloon. (Nothing says 'hate me' like carrying home an overt display of affection).
Some day big D is going to tell me he can't afford V-day (fair enough, as it is wedged in just after Christmas and my birthday) and be telling the truth.

Google Employee Fired Over Blog - The Unofficial Google Weblog - google.weblogsinc.com
Poor guy! I guess it would have been rather politically unwise.... expains why there have been no updates lately.
Hope it doesn't affect his hiring chances with other companies.

Little red Crumpler baggie
Here's my birthday present... a brand new Crumpler laptop bag. Thats an APPALLING photo, I know. Sadly, that's the good phonecam.
A review of the 'Sheep scarer' is forthcoming. Then hopefully I will get a real camera, and review *that*.

iBook plague
The iBook count at our LUG meetings is often pretty high. There's three in that pic (mine is the closest).
In other news, work finally claimed the LCD I'd borrowed for the past few weeks.
I'm running Nightmare Weaver and Orifice on a crumbly beige box while the salescritters are being apportioned fresh new Dells. Its not as bad as some boxes around here but even if they'd left me a decent screen...
I asked the boxen-installer as to when I'd be getting a new box.
"Ask $Boss++" he said, in a tone which suggested that the *box* wouldn't be replaced first.
I mentally added it to my 'And that's why I left' list (its a meditative technique that makes all things bearable).
The search for a PFY gig continues.

The Ducks Love It
Storms last night resulted in a few adventures in getting to work. Power outage means we had to do a Ray Charles impression in finding our stuff for work...
Then my train got delayed and I had to tram hop across the CBD because the train loop was flooded.
I got a call from my mother to say she'd heard that people had been advised not to go in to work unless 'absolutely necessary'. (She's in Darwin). Sadly, its business as usual around here.
Probably just as well, I had a mental image of the PHB announcing 'Due to the snow, only non-essential staff are required today.' Followed up by rubbing his hands together and thinking 'Layoffs are going to be easy this year.'

Mac mini in the wild
Mac Mini in the 'wild' at the Flinders St Applestore. What you can't see in photos is that the sides of the mini are brushed aluminium and not plastic.
It's hooked into a Sony monitor.
