Everyone comes into your life for a reason. It may not always be the reason we thought or might have hoped, but there is a reason regardless. The best we can do is enjoy what we can and treasure that person while we can, as we never know when for some reason they will stop being a part of your life. Treasure today, treasure your friends, whether they fit in your life the way you wanted or not. Life’s too short to dwell on what might have been.

So yet again I’ve shown a severe lack of motivation to update this thing for far too long… But after someone reading through a lot of the post history fairly recently I thought maybe it’s time to tidy a few things up and maybe even put some new (if thoroughly boring to most) content on here.

We’ve all heard the insurance claim horror stories I’m sure. What seems simple and straightforward, turns into an absolute clusterf**k once the chips are down! Here’s my story so far; lets hope common sense prevails! Read more »

… the last attempt at an automatic post didn’t play nice. Not sure if it was a config error on this end or a fb issue in general (we all know it has plenty of issues!). =P
Fingers crossed, this will work though! And assuming it does, good night all. =]

So it’s now 39 days until I head for Aussie (all going to plan). So now I’m just doing a little setup so that if I get sufficiently motivated I can update the few of you who read this stuff on how the trips going.As well as the usual updates to base code and tiding up of plugins, I’ve now hooked things up so that hopefully this will now bombard facebook with whatever I post as well, just to help the couple that tend to read things on here in the loop. =P
Finally got the new passport today (yes, a rather essential piece of the puzzle). Pitty it’s only valid for 5 years (my last one ran out in Jan 2009 but had had a 10 year life). Finalise tickets on tuesday.
It should be a great trip, with among other things some great photo opportunities to be had on a 2 week bus trip covering a pile of Aussie along the way. Not to mention the exciting/scary/confusing prospect of meeting what can be best described as meeting up with some long lost family.
But anyway, more to come… maybe. Lets see if this facebook plugin works or not!

… to be in a meeting in Auckland at 9am and be back in the office in Hawkes Bay mid afternoon. Yet that’s how todays been.
7am flight to Auckland. Cab into center city, making it just in time for the 9am meeting. Quick coffee after the meeting then cab back to the airport and back to Napier. Stitting back at my desk by 3.
But anyway, I know no one really cares about such things. My real reason for dusting off the old blog was to post a couple of friggen halarious pic that I just found.
And another goodie…
Now, for all of you who have spent far too much time on the internet and delved into the world of chat rooms, have a laugh at OhMy!gle. It’s friggen gold!
Anyways, enough boredom for one night. Enjoy!

So the end of the weekend is drawing nearer. It’s been a good one; the main event being a cocktail party for a 50th. Far too much alcohol but good fun coming up with some interesting mixes. Read more »

10pm. 527548 events logged by Snort since 7pm last night (the last database purge). The vast majority of those was during office hours today; not surprising given the general peak traffic time on the network. Snorby is holding up well although ruby seems to consume a lot of resources, and I managed to crash the server by using the email a report function (it tried to run an SQL query that was over 4.8 MILLION characters long – 2 hours at max system resources and it finally tipped over). Other than that all is looking good. Read more »
