Ramble Report
I’ve been spamming my Rambler’s Badge Report around a bit lately, but if you haven’t seen it, check it out! The basic gist of it was that I organised I hike in the Flinders with 4 other Rovers - Anton, Kate, Jess and Nat. We walked 126km over 7 days and had an awesome time. [...]
Graphjam
Graphjam. Not quite as funny as Lolcats, but good nonetheless.
Some of my favourites:And then I was Photoshopped
So, sweet looking photo from EV, thanks to Daniel Salmond, lets make an avatar/display picture/100×100 image from it. We’ll have me on the left hand side with sky on the right…
Hmm lets get a bit more of the kilt in there so we know I’m not just wearing a pair of shorts…
Actually while [...]Helium Balloons, Mirrorballs and Christmas
Note to self, don’t release helium balloons around your mirrorball/s.
Also, don’t make Christmas trees with your Jewish Joey.
So Roverball was fair awesome. The week leading up to it was pretty busy, but everyone had a great time on the night. Not sure about the budget as yet though. Some photos are at the GRovers [...]Don’t use your ISP email - Part 2 (What to use instead)
The solution? Use an email address you have control over. Ideally, this would involve registering your own domain name and getting yourself some hosting. From what I can tell, Godaddy offers one email address just with a parked domain, so you wouldn’t even have to organise hosting. When you buy a domain and some hosting, [...]
What Wonderful Hands
I don’t usually go in for forwarding emails around - I figure if people are looking for funny/cool jokes/photos/videos, there’s the whole internet out there. In this case I’m making a half exception and posting it on my blog since I don’t force anyone to read it.
Strongly recommended viewing: Some awesome shadow puppetry.Don’t use your ISP email - Part 1 (Why not?)
When you sign up to an ISP they generally provide you with a free email address. DON’T USE IT!
Why not? It’s a perfectly good email address right? Wrong! It’s actually a ploy to make you stay with that ISP.
Consider that in a couple of years time, your ISP increases its prices or adjusts their [...]I want to go hiking!
I want a bumper sticker for my bed that says “My Other Bed is a Therm-a-rest!”
Just spent a whole long weekend at home due to being sick I got so delirious at one point I was going to go hiking for 3 days by myself, I planned the whole route, looked at campsites, public [...]Heysen Trail Completion Log
I’ve spent the morning whipping up a nifty Heysen Trail Completion Log for myself. I give it the total number of km I have completed and php creates the percentage and adjusts the completion bar for me. I learnt a bit about css clipping and positioning and also how to get php running inside a [...]
Chocolate, the way it was meant to be
I bought some chocolates at Haighs today (well, yesterday) and would just like to proclaim to the world that I was thoroughly impressed with the whole process. The fact that I was requested to inspect the goods before purchasing them (ie. the guy opened the box and showed them all to me,) the way he [...]
