Maybe it’s the time of year. The cold weather has me relaxing on the couch keeping warm; no doubt the same was probably true this time last year too. Cold and I don’t get along all that well…

So a year is a long time, and thinking back I’m trying to piece it all together in my head. What’s changed, what’s new etc.

Some of the inhabitants in the large tank

The main change I guess are that I’ve moved house. After some drama with a flatmate who thought rent was just a suggestion for her (Lets just say I even consulted a lawyer…) and the other good flatmate I had left to move out of the area, I had the place to myself so it was a good time to make the move. What a mission; those of you who know me know I have 2 decent sized fishtanks… I’m never moving again!!! And it is nice and close to the fire station which actually makes it faster to run there when there’s a callout than to get the car out!

The office

One of the other problems with moving is my 2 cats. Things seemed to go really well with them though, and a couple of months in they were still happily making the place their own. However about 3 months ago, one of them went missing. So after all this time I’d pretty much settled on the idea that he’d had an altercation with a car or some such, but last weekend I got a phonecall… 3 weeks ago he had apparently turned up at my old house, and the lady who had only just moved in there looked after him and eventually contacted the SPCA.

Floyd

Fortunately he was chipped so they got in touch with me, but it was amazing that he’d done so well for so long, and that the lady moved in in time and was good enough to look after him while I got the chance to pick him up. Both my kitties are now settled in enjoying the warmth too. I’m a big softy really, and I do love my kitties.

Ryu

The other recent addition to the household is a lovely Betta. Ryu (Ryūjin) is a Super Delta, and he’s gorgeous, as far as fish go anyway.

Anyway, that’s the boring state of things really. It’s now a little after 10pm and I’m watching Enders Game; not a bad movie really. Easy watching indeed! Good night all; maybe I’ll post a little sooner than a year this time. =P

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, a travesty occurred… a favourite shop of mine run by really nice people had to shut down. I was fortunate enough to be able to help them pack the place up hopefully to start up again at a later date but in the mean time I’m happy to count them as my friends. It’s funny the places you meet people and those that stick in your life, but good people are good no matter where they appear from.

7am flight to Auckland. Cab into centre 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. Sitting 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 hilarious 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!

Other than that, damn it’s been a nice sunny weekend. It’s definitely got me in the summer mood. Shorts (much to the detriment of anyone without sunnies on =P ) and the house wide open. Won’t be long before we crank up the bbq I think. Not quite warm enough for the beach yet but I doubt that will be too far away either. And well the hay-fever has started to kick in but shit you can’t have everything good I guess. =P

Time to go get some sunshine and hope I don’t burn to a crisp! Here’s a bit of music with a good beat and some good lyrics:

And here’s a random pic for the day…

There's these moments - by MiCa...

The text for those who can’t read it is…

It’s difficult to ignore what’s
Really on the outside
When the inside
Is fighting this corpse so much.

With minutes left
And the last hour gone
The beginning hasn’t even
Ended yet…

Have a good one all!

Battery: 0%

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.

Pretty shattered after staying up until after midnight toying with sensor rules, bed time soon. But thought I’d share some humour to help get you all through Friday.

A Short Story

And a little motivation…

So have a fun Friday one and all. Roll on caterday!!!

Black Out

The other day I was going through some old files looking for something and came across a s**tload of pics and stuff that I’d collected over the years and used to be on one of my old websites. So, instead of uploading things in gallery fashion as they were I thought I’d post a few every now and then as I felt motivated.

So far, I’ve decided on a few obvious categories but I’m sure the list will grow. There’s everything from politically incorrect, to down right rude. The intent is not to offend, it’s all just a laugh. These pic’s come from all over the place, collected over years: if there is anything that belongs to you and you want it taken down, let me know – I make no claim of ownership of any of this stuff.

Here’s a few to set the mood and start the project off. =P
