Ahh the weekend

Well kids, the weekend was interesting.

First off on Friday night, I remained champion in worms, due to my skills at doing suicide kills with other peoples turns. Then forced to watch Star Trek. I lost my voice due to protests. Also Spock/Sylar is evil!

Saturday was tennis doubles fun. This week it was Nick aka Perseus? and myself taking on Dom aka iSnack 2.0/Tuna etc and Pera aka Zeus and Tennis pro. It was good, best game ever actually, with some amazing shots and even scoring. We eventually prevailed against the weather, frustration and the ecstacy.

Sunday was back to the garden with the help of family and friends, more grass removed, pine bark laid down and sore muscles. At least it looks a lot better.

Oh IT wise, I feel sheepish. Times got all changed, which was sweet, but I had the bright idea to put a Kernel Panic screensaver on my Windows pc, but then my Linux server decided to Kernel Panic on me complete with flashing lights. Fun Fun.

the testament of pitikanobley!

Well I have not written much lately so lets get a recap. Busy with work, busy with uni, assignments are starting to pile up. I am experimenting currently with VMware Server on Linux, but wireless is dodgy. It replaces virtualbox and I can run Linux, Open/FreeBSD with no issues. Seems it will be needed to be a victim of cat 5, but where.

I am the reigning champion of Worms and Bomberman, bass guitarist for The Wookies and I hate gardening. Left 4 Dead DLC should be working tonight, but after Sons of Anarchy, I will give it a try.

More soon kids! Oh and peace out to the aglomplompian and moppoloid. 

The lols of the banks - Why oh why

Most banks run a simple system for tellers or ATMS.. but no. Today I was getting some lunch in Bellerive on my way home when I thought damn, I need some cash. Closest machine was an ANZ machine. But it had an error and was blocking the screen. Good old Windows background programs.

Maybe it was monitoring our habits? Did some break in? No it just died, as it does sometimes. Makes you wonder though, any machine that is valuable or mission critical should be looked at with security in mind and reliability. Windows is nowhere near as reliable as some, but if it gets infected with a virus like some other atms have, money can literally be made or transferred.. 

Slacking off - where has the time gone?

Waiting for a meeting so I am having lunch at the placemy sister manage, Rendevouz cafe in Salamanca (really good food and fast service).

Ukkofc is now on ranked in google and so is this blog (metawords man.)

Assignment work is catching up and annoying, while the life of brian is a geatmovie classic. 

This post is dedicated to agemO.

Downtime - relaxation and broken stuff

Well the weekends here. Couldnt sleep past 8, did nothing all day and one of my best mates is back from his trip into Germany/USA. Have not broken anything since last weeks install of a new HP Proliant server in a clients business (break as in my boss cutting my telephone cable for testing etc) yet the Linux box is still broken...

Other news, uni assignment and presentation time is here for a game we are going to make a prototype out of called Project: Rubicon which will be done shortly for Tuesday.

Planning on a beard shave and a nice haircut sometime Monday or Tuesday and to work on others.. yay.

Till next time or tomorrow

Sweet secret recipe

A change for today. Here is my own secret style of cooking.

I tend to call this the easy home cooked meal. Easy as in heat rice for 2 minutes and prepare other things slowly. Today is the Singaporean Australian Satay Rissoles with Rice.

Get your rissoles and cut up into quarters. Put in a saucepan and cook slowly, once done cook rice in the microwave and pour satay sauce on the rissoles. Make a bed of rice, and pour the cooked rissoles. Best served with a friend.

Tech side: Ubuntu hates my Linux machines wireless card, have to figure out a new tactic for it. Never fear, the eee pc is still working :)

Fun times - Announcing Ukko File Cloud or Ukko FC for short.

I feel like I am lacking in some sleep and sleeping in recently, also a bit of a hard time getting to sleep. Anyway, technology is always good to learn, reuse and so forth. Created a site for our Ukko File Cloud project so we can work on it. Basically it was a Digital Resource Management System for a small training centre called APW and was requested to be done for Software Engineering project at uni last year. We deicded that it is good software and decided to further develop it recently. So purchasing ukkofc.com we can continue to work on it and get interest from people to use our software. We are still rebrnading and changing the project over, but slowly getting there and it is for a passion with friends to continue this like we did last year. Ukko actually is the Finnish God of Thunder in Finnish Mythology, sort of like Zeus in Greek mythology. Lots more work to be done while everyone juggles uni, work and a social life.
