Presto, We Have No Gallery!

Fedora / Linux stuff:
For those users of my package set, you can now use yum-presto to grab deltarpms of my packages for Fedora 10 and 11. This should make your life easier - I know my upstream link isn’t always fast so the less traffic over it the better for you guys - it’s a [...]

I’ve not disappeared - the move is complete

…. but not without dramas.
The move wasn’t as smooth as expected. The actual furnishings/equipment move was fine, but the technological move was not.
Thanks to the wonders of the monopoly telecommunications company here (Telstra) who, despite being privatised and made to compete with other carriers treats the public that funded their infrastructure with utter contempt, took [...]

That’s Karma for you. someone has to keep the 6:30 tabloid trash honest, may as [...]

Tina @ Indy 2007 Redux

Courtesy of a thoughtful and heroic poster @ the Aussiecelebs model forum:

Again, congrats - May this take you places you’ve only dreamed of going

Congratulations Tina!

I’d just like to quickly congratulate Tina Wallmann on placing runner-up in the Gold Coast Miss Indy 2007 model competition. Well done my friend!
I personally would have loved to have seen her win - I’m biased and proud of it - but the winner (Sarah Buller) is indeed worthy and 2nd is still no mean [...]
