Why yes, it has been a little while since I’ve posted anything of note. Hope the quote from Sean tided over the tragics who just couldn’t stay away.
There has been quite a bit happening, most of it good.
Dad has come back from Bangkok after his stem-cell operation and the results have been excellent. He’s got [...]
As I’ve hinted in my last little aside, my package repository for Fedora 7 (aka “Moonshine”) is publicly available per my Fedora Package Page
It took 2 days, a stack of bandwidth and I’ll wager I’ve missed a couple, but they’re there and so far they work. I’ve even added some stuff I’ve been previously holding [...]
No, I’m not going to mimic a distribution (don’t look so disappointed, you’re not missing anything!)
I’ve historically backed off installing new and shiny versions of pretty much anything, however the lure of a unified Fedora with everything (including some of my submissions - try to guess which ones!) was too much.
So I slotted the [...]
A few things have happened since my last entry.
Firstly, I have ceased working for WebCentral / MelbourneIT, my employer for the last seven years to take a job as a systems administrator / developer at Sauce Software, a smaller locally-based software / e-commerce development company.

Cool:
Tina Wallmann has won Zoo Weekly’s Beach Girl Comp 2007
Congratulations! I’m not normally a Zoo Weekly reader but I’ll pick up this one (I hope they’re better to you than they were Lara Bingle)
Mercedes Corby is suing Today Tonight
That’s Karma for you. someone has to keep the 6:30 tabloid trash honest, may as [...]
One full week to go before I’m back to the grind (something I’m not looking forward to, but I have to eat)
I’ve at least managed to get something different in this time - a visit to the new Modern Art Gallery at Southbank, a stroll or three around the Botanical Gardens (which is always good [...]
It wasn’t half bad, actually - got to catch up with Paul and his missus among other relatives I don’t see too frequently. As usual, the food is plentiful and good.
Sleeping on the couch (as per tradition for me) was not so good and my back is absolutely killing me. Next year I’m either demanding [...]
