Life is unfair at times :-(
123 - RSS is a bitch - 2006-05-28 23:46:16
At times.. Found out today it's not working again. Finiky shit.
So, I fixed it.
122 - A few more photos - Melbourne Zoo and our Garden - 2006-05-04 21:58:02
This is a bit of a lucky shot, not having the blur from the cyclone fence.
Haven't been able to catch any of the roses in bloom yet. Will keep trying.
121 - Interesting Windows SBS2003 bug - 2006-04-11 20:46:42
New client. 8 machines, 1 Win2K server.
AD/DNS/Permissions are screwed. 8GB hdd is out of space, it's mode4.. Not worth it
New server time.
Built the server at home with the domain of RCP.local. Setup software mirror and AD/DNS etc.
Put it in place at the new clients building, set it up, migrate and move various things, all good.
Client has external 3.5" USB2 caddies for backups. Fire up NTBackup set it going...
WRONG. Go eat a child.
VSS is failing (Volume ShadowCopy Service or somesuch..). Odd. Start doing some research, most point to needing to re-register the DLL's involved with the 'VSS writers". That's nice, try it, no luck.
In passing I load up the Disk Manager. It fails with an "unspecified error". Whoa. Nasty. Wonder what's happened to my mirror?
Anyway, I find ONE reference to a guy who had an old NT4 machine which he turned off and these samesuch errors dissapeared.
Check their old server. rcp.realdomain.com.au.
No way. Another server's domain is fucking around with the software mirror on my new server? That's impossible.
One dcpomo'd demotion later and a reboot of each server.
No problem. NTBackup is now working.
How fucked is that? DNS/AD/NetBios is fucking with a filesystem function on an unrelated server :-/
120 - World of Warcraft & PvP - 2006-03-25 00:29:55
I have two, no three reasonable characters.
- Quintar - 60 Dwarf Hunter - Azjol-Nerub
- Harrie - 34 Gnome Warrior - Azjol-Nerub
- Orangemud - 34 Dwarf Priest - Jubei'Thos
I've PvPed on all of the characters above, but never enjoyed it AT ALL on the Hunter. I guess that was because prior to 1.9, hunters sucked a lot of ass in PvP, we were too easily nullified. As such I got disenchanted.
As a warrior, I was willing to die to obchieve an objective.. I think in about 10 WSG games I didn't get a single heal. Kinda sucky.
As my priest however, I've enjoyed it incredibly. I'm dangerous as a DPS, I'm somewhat hard to kill, but most of all, I'm a lean mean healing machine. It's rare that 2v2, 2v3, 2v4 that my flag carrier drops before me. It generally takes a zerg of 5 to out do us. Or 4 rogues :P I remember one game recently where a rogue, me, druid (flag carrier) held the flag through 6 dedicated assults, I think the 7th one had 8 people in it.
Anyway, my most recent game was perhaps my best. A couple of clutch 'AoE Fears' and PW:S's and we had ourselves a 3-0 win. The thing that surprised me, 2x of those flag captures were mine and I even had a flag capture at the end to bring home the bacon as such.
Screenshots so that I can say it happened:

Normally they're simplistic. This one has style.
118 - Cats are venturing outside now - 2006-02-28 11:32:21

Patch seems more confident, though Five is staying out longer. He's been outside for a few hours now.
117 - That time of year. - 2006-02-27 10:44:24
I'm now 26.
I guess I'm contented with my life. Kinda looking to become a bit busier though.
Mexican was good last night.
116 - This made me laugh - 2006-02-14 12:26:30
Aahahahahahahah
115 - House buying - 2006-02-12 21:14:25
Well, it's been a while since I've updated about the House. We've moved in and living there now, very happy with what we've managed.
Here are some of the photos, ranging from inspection days, renovations, after moving in. There's quite a few more photos available here.
Now we just need the energy to unpack.
Thanks goes to both our parents, Jan, Len, Sandra and Ray. Sammy my sister-in-law, Bronwyn's sister. Dicko, Ed, Leigh, Donna, Trevor. All making our first move in 5 years relatively easy.
