It’s been a while since I’ve had this dish. My mum found it in a book titled “The Cost Conscious Cook Book” (I cannot find it on Amazon, otherwise I’d link to it). It’s a really simple dish, but rather tasty…

I’ve discovered that there are always lots of random things that can wreck a good weekend… For example, getting alarms, and emails at 0700 on a Sunday morning reporting possible power issues, then more alarms at 0900 confirming a power outage.

If you’re new to lighting, studio or not, Strobist rocks. Recently I’ve discovered a new resource. ProPhotoLife is another blog that has a lot of studio based walk throughs, giving examples of setups, lighting guides, and all kinds of cool stuff. The nifty thing is how he’s doing some of it. See if you can spot what he’s using for light stands in some of the videos.

For an upcoming project, we started moving an external vendor off of a Microsoft PPTP VPN tunnel (per user client), to a fixed VPN tunnel using IPSEC, and handled at the gateway. During this migration, it was decided to remove access to the PPTP tunnel to ensure the vendor was using the proper tunnel. This required changing the setting for 20 users…

We deployed Veritas’ DLO for a manager a few months ago after a laptop rebuild. Mostly because he spent several hours a week making regular backups of his documents folder. A pointless exercise when we have the software to handle backups for him.

So, I mentioned in my post Blah¹ that I had a few things to write about. Unfortunately I’ve been so busy, they keep slipping my mind (as also mentioned). So I figured the best way to remember what to write about, is to start a post, write a quick subject, and paste any related links, just as a “post-it” so to speak. So I quickly documented several posts, and queued them up for when I have a few minutes to post them… Simple, and effective.

I’ve been awful about actually posting something on here. It’s not that I’ve not had stuff to post, as I have some MS Office stuff I wanted to document, and some other bits and pieces too, I’ve just been… swamped. I’ll see what I can get scribbled out. I should probably jot down somewhere want I want to write about, I keep thinking of stuff, and they get bumped out of my head by “stuff”.

No, they’re bad… Now they’re good again…

I am of course talking about eggs. And now I turn you over to Lewis Black.

I’ve been stuck in a rut again, not sure why.

The BBC has an interesting story on the history of the Olympic torch. Quite interesting to see the power of “marketing”
