perfecting mediocrity

New hosting

golgy — Thu, 22 May 2008 06:13:03 +0000

Okay, so I’ve finally made the decision to not host my own stuff. For the most part during the years, I’ve had a Freebsd catchall machine that served as most of what i needed. WWW/SMTP (antispam/antivirus) and various other things I’ve hosted such as subversion back when i was at Uni. Now that I’m really [...]

New Musics.

Okay, so now I have the majority of what is around for Mew. A little emo-ish at times, but still I’ve played through 3 albums this night and I’ve enjoyed what I’ve heard. And I like them. Which is a very snap decision but after hearing a sample at Mark’s housewarming on the weekend I [...]

Auto Extension Tubes

This post is almost directly inspired by Neil’s post about those lovely devices that enable us to bring our photographic subjects much closer to us, and give us a much greater level of detail that we would normally think possible. Along with my lovely new camera and lenses, I’ve acquired a set of auto extension [...]

World's Greatest Shave!

So, by now most people will know ( quite likely due to my constant and unrelenting badgering for money and attempts to raise money through every possible source I can bring to bear ) that I’ve made the big decision of cutting off my hair. I made the decision roughly 3 or 4 months ago [...]

Daily Rituals

golgy — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 21:24:47 +0000

Every morning, there’s a certain ritual that I go through to break the new day in. I sit down - check my email for any major catastrophe thats happened overnight, delete spam, check my voicemail. I’m sure that this is all very familiar to just about everyone. Recently however, I’ve begun to make these for [...]

Belated Lunar Eclipse!

golgy — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 01:13:28 +0000

Okay, so most of you know by now that there was a Lunar Eclipse. Mainly due to laziness, I haven’t bothered to update till now, and even then it’ll be a short and sweet one. Okay, so I just found the images i took with Neil, which I had forgotten about. I’m bad I know. [...]

My misadventure with Vista

golgy — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 13:42:54 +0000

So - I tried to install Vista. For the most part, i actually suceeeded. It booted, after a semi-lengthy install. *THIS* time i actually managed to not format my storage drive ( 200gb of stuff lost? no thanks. already did that once. ) So after the few reboots and formats and whatnot i begin to [...]

Vroom. Pics are under cut to save bandwidth. >6-speed manual, V8 goodness.PLUS - It’s red. It goes faster.

Finished reading Snow Crash

golgy — Wed, 11 Apr 2007 03:36:33 +0000

Well after a few months of gnawing away at Snow Crash in my spare few minutes between waiting for people/travelling into the city and whatnot, i’ve finished reading Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. I’m very very glad that I was given it for christmas ( Danny I think it was, pretty sure after he was [...]

What’s New!

golgy — Sun, 08 Apr 2007 02:25:06 +0000

Well. I’ve had a quite busy last few months, and given the fact that I have a few days up my sleeve, I have decided to do an update. Because - well, i’m lazy, I’m gonna do this in point form. What’s New: New Job! Graduation - Not yet, but I’ve been told I’ve passed. More pants. Dylan [...]
