It’s true, I really do need a haircut but that is far from the most gripping news and sadly the best I could think of to share with you off the top of my head… so to speak. In only somewhat related news this blog has received a makeover which I am actually kind of enjoying. I’m not in love with the current css and it will likely change a few times over the next few days but at least it’s easy to work with. If you refresh the page you will find a number of EVE related backgrounds I’ve made from in-game screenshots I’ve taken over the past 2 years. I’d like to add more since there are currently only 12 in the rotation but I have literally hundreds of extremely beautiful shots taken while engaging in various activities from peaceful ore and ice mining to mission running and enormous fleet battles and gate camping. One day I’ll even add a proper gallery to share it all.

March 2nd, 2010Swahili words?
February 9th, 2010Being the CLI junky that I am and always trying to find an easier way to do things via command line, I installed edictionary:
Homepage: http://edictionary.sourceforge.net/
Description: Command line dictionary and thesaurus
For my first test: The misspelling of “appointment”
edict apointment
edict – Your personal command line dictionary. Version 2.2.
Looking up “apointment” in Merriam Webster Online Dictionary…
Don’t understand Swahili words like apointment!!
Such epic fail, it approaches win.

Blogin?
December 28th, 2009So I decided to spend some more time on my blog. Several hours later I then decided that people who spend a lot of time on their blogs probably have too much time on their hands. I’m not one of those people.

Spiders
August 25th, 2009Spiders really don’t bother me much. Not the real ones anyway, but the thought of a Microsoft Spider could possibly give me nightmares. Those are better off blocked imo.
Nick: Hey scollins
Nick: did killer say anything about the modsec rule that looks like its blocking microsoft spiders?
scollins: I haven’t heard anything. but microsoft spiders sound really scary.
***scollins shivers.

Oh snap! Imminent closure of SORBS!
June 22nd, 2009This just came in from the [sorbs-announce] mailing list.
All,
Please feel free to forward this message to any other location/mailing list.
It comes with great sadness that I have to announce the imminent closure
of SORBS. The University of Queensland have decided not to honor their
agreement with myself and SORBS and terminate the hosting contract.I have been involved with institutions such as Griffith University
trying to arrange alternative hosting for SORBS, but as of 12 noon, 22nd
June 2009 no hosting has been acquired and therefore I have been forced
in to this announcement. SORBS is officially “For Sale” should anyone
wish to purchase it as a going concern, but failing that and failing to
find alternative hosting for a 42RU rack in the Brisbane area of
Queensland Australia SORBS will be shutting down permanently in 28 days,
on 20th July 2009 at 12 noon.This announcement will be replicated on the main SORBS website at the
earliest opportunity.For information about the possible purchase of SORBS, the source code,
data, hosts etc, I maybe contacted at michelle@sorbs.net, telephone +61
414 861 744.For any hosting suggestions/provision, please be aware that the 42RU
space is a requirement at the moment, and the service cannot be made
into a smaller rackspace without a lot of new hardware, virtual hosting
is just not possible. The SORBS service services over 30 billion DNS
queries per day, and has a number of database servers with fast disk to
cope with the requirements.Thank you for all your support over the years,
Michelle Sullivan

ecstaticThe Yardening
May 25th, 2009So, for a little over a week now nearly all of my free time has been spent doing some yard work:
I put up a quick and dirty image gallery with some of my progress. Pay no attention to the 2006 timestamps on a few of the photos. The camera is constantly eating batteries and resets the time back to 2006 each time they run out.I just wanted to get this up while my internet is still working. It’s been a real PITA™ for the last few days to the point of me not even bothering to use it. I’m going to be doing a little more work on it today and if my packets are still moving through the tubes I’ll post some more pictures of my progress.
