Hopefully there won't be too many glitches along the way. 2008-10-21T09:08:17Z SvenDowideit 1 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x21x01x45 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x21x01x45 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x12x17x45?t=2008-10-13T00:51:48Z Headline: Day One of driving 120 hours of log book driving is a very long time when you don't use a car. Sunday was the beginning 1.5 hours done, 118.5 to go. wishful thinking says we could do this in 3 months reality? not so much :) 2008-10-13T00:51:48Z SvenDowideit 1 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x12x17x45 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x12x17x45 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x04x01x31?t=2008-10-04T08:38:46Z Headline: easy MTB trails in Northern Sydney After spending so much time in the shadows of the Uetliberg and Zuriberg, I've been missing being able to go for a quick easy offroad mountain bike ride. From Lane Cove, I've finally realised there's plenty around me today for example, I rode to the EasternArterial road entry of the Two Creeks Track which starts off as a fire trail, then changes into a nice easy, low traffic walking track prefect for the beginner MTB rider. It seems to cope well with the wet day we had today too buckets of fun from there to the Roseville bridge, and then an easy ride home. see nice map by the Ku ring gai Council 2008-10-04T08:38:46Z SvenDowideit 1 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x04x01x31 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x10x04x01x31 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x09x13x01x45?t=2008-09-13T12:26:19Z Headline: Pasta night I love how 100g of flour and one egg can make the most wonderful pasta. Its such a simple thing to mix up before you make the sauce, then while its cooking, roll it out cut (ok, i've got a pasta maker ) and boil. loverly :) 2008-09-13T12:26:19Z SvenDowideit 2 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x09x13x01x45 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x09x13x01x45 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x08x14x22x13?t=2008-08-15T05:17:50Z Headline: Bemused. I just rode my bike to the RTA, and got myself a Learner's booklet. Its an odd feeling, knowing nothing about the process, since the last time my friends looked at that sort of thing was over 15 years ago! Combine that with going to the printers to get my first set of Business cards made... Australian renewable paper please :) and I get a very interesting day. 2008-08-15T05:17:50Z SvenDowideit 1 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x08x14x22x13 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x08x14x22x13 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x31x20x32?t=2008-08-01T03:39:31Z Headline: Possibly the dumbest thing I've read on the web today To book your tickets for the conference you need to fill out the registration form below. Once submitted you will be emailed a copy of your registration and your payment form. Fill in the form and fax back to: XXXXXXXXXXX. I'm not sure what's dumber no online payment option, or requiring a fax to register for a conference... worse, a web conference! Seeing as I run a paperless office I emailed them a pdf of the electronic back transfer confirmation will be funny to see how that turns out. 2008-08-01T03:39:31Z SvenDowideit 1 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x31x20x32 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x31x20x32 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x02x16x04?t=2008-07-03T01:48:43Z Headline: VirtualBox host interface networking with wifi I normally use vmware server to do alot of system testing, but this week, I'm setting up to visit my parents, and vmware decided it didn't want to work on my notebook. I'm guessing its due to vmware's rather woeful debian support, and that this is a somewhat ruft debian testing system. VirtualBox uses NAT out of the box, meaning that I can't connect to the virtual machine from my notebook (just the reverse) so I went out looking for HOWTO's... And the best I found for my situation was the docoo. A small tweak later for debian's sake, and I get the following instructions resulting in two network interfaces on the VM eth0 NAT'ed to get out to the world, and a host host eth1 to enable me to get from my notebook to the VM. Install parprouted sudo apt get install parprouted create a vbox network startup script sudo vi /etc/network/if up.d/vbox network giving it the following (replacing $USER with the username ... 2008-07-03T01:48:43Z SvenDowideit 2 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x02x16x04 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x02x16x04 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x01x20x10?t=2008-07-02T03:17:08Z Headline: and now, the Weather in Sydney it seems that its so windy here in Sydney that it'll blow the dog off the chain . Never heard the expression before, but, its a pretty accurate analogy. Which shows that there's an awful lot of Aussie I still haven't learnt, even after 32 years. 2008-07-02T03:17:08Z SvenDowideit 1 updated major http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x01x20x10 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/rdiff/Blog/BlogEntry2008x07x01x20x10 http://www.home.org.au/core/bin/view/Blog/BlogEntry2008x05x12x22x44?t=2008-05-12T12:48:18Z Headline: testing Crawford's nop ReadWriteOfflinePlugin So far, I'm loving it, this Blog post is written on my notebook's copy of the Blog web, and later tonite, it will get synced to the home.org.au server.
