Hi everyone, 皆さんこんにちは This post was going to be finished earlier and cover more than just my culinary adventures, however I figure I may as well just finish this post and dedicate it to them. Note: The Japanese translation of rest of the post will take me sometime, but should eventually appear. Update: Translation is done is except for most of the banter, it only took me a few years to find the time (about 3 hours total) Baking is Science for Hungry People. (ベーキングは、飢えた人々のための科学である) What you need (ことが必要とされる) 1 Rice Cooker (mine is a Toshiba RC-10NMF), preferably with a Bake Mode / Setting, though the original cake / pudding was […]

Hi everyone, 皆さんこんにちは Work is still quite busy. 仕事がとても忙しいです。 Last weekend I visited Akihabara Electronic Town, looking to find a replacement laptop. 先週末は、交換ラップトップを探してい、秋葉原エレクトロニック·タウンを訪れました。 I wasn’t able to find one I wanted and was told to look online. 私が欲しいものを見つけることができませんでしたし、オンラインに見えるように言われました。 I couldn’t find a replacement fan for my NAS. I will need to try again another day. 私はNASの交換用のファンを見つけることができませんでした。私は別の日にもう一度行う必要があります。 I went to Ueno and played Marco Polo. 私は上野に行って、マルコ·ポーロを果たしました。 Ueno Park is very scenic and Ueno Station has a lot of entrances. Apparently the zoo was closed. 上野公園は、非常に風光明媚である。上野駅では入り口がたくさんあります。どうやら動物園は閉鎖されました。 I found the people I met. We went to the “Hub”. It was like a British pub-style bar. 私が会った人々を見つけた。我々は、[ハブ]に行ってきました。 それは、ブリティッシュパブのようなスタイルのバーだった。 The next day was a public holiday, […]

Hi everyone, こんにちは みんな I am in an apartment now. 私は今アパートで午前 Work is very busy. 仕事がとても忙しいです。 You never realise how many simple things you just get used to until they all change. 変化はささいなことに記載されています. I appreciate my home cooking so much more now. 家庭料理ははるかに高く評価 Laptop hard drive has bad blocks, but managed to backup all important data after eventually buying the correct power adapter from Yodabashi Camera, after trying Don Quitote, PC Depot and BIC Camera. ラップトップのハードドライブが不良ブロックを持っている. ヨドバシカメラから正しい電源アダプタを購入しました。次に、データの回復が可能であった。 Best wishes, ご多幸を祈る Benjamin Southall aka Appelman1234 🙂

Hi everyone, New things :  Fixed second hole in umbrella  Darned hole in pants (Cloth hacking FTW)  Plenty of apricot nectar  More Icecream and Blueberries  Pineapple Juice  New Icecream Scoop  Got book I loaned back  Got new working headphones SSL update broke AMSN (still looking for fix) Found someone’s special lost magazines and books. Rescued someone that was lost. Had 4 litres of Mountain Dew recently. Work keeping me busy. Was delayed by random stranger that referred to Australia’s heart as dead and didn’t appreciate subjective aestheticism. Caught up with several colleagues from who I met at university. This was good. We talked about animals in pet shops, adoption, Advanced Microsoft Word, […]

Hi everyone, AC adapter on for net book is damaged, managed to get it working for the moment, replacement should arrive next week. When it does I will probably order some tools so I can repair the old one using cable splicing. Messed Ubuntu configuration on MID by updating a single package, then accidently reinstall older firmware including old Android, old GNU Linux and old bootloader, nothing starts up clean, and I will have to borrow or acquire a male to male USB cable to reupdate the bootloader. Work is fun, lots of Telerik familarisation, and lots of tickets to keep me busy.Managed to spend the test card from work […]

Hi everyone, I could apologise for being late, like so many previous posts, or I can just keeping typing. I think I will do the later.  My eeepc’s screen is cracked and is still usable for the moment. 150AUD to buy replacement LCD screen, so at present I am waiting to see when the N570 atom are mass released here. (Given current CPU is n270). Projects are happening slowly, still trying to find rhythm in the shift from student to employee, along with the search for continuous improvement both of self and of circumstance. Going to be setting up piece by piece progress so that stuff gets done gradually but eventually, otherwise […]

Hi everyone, Updates: I am slowly doing stuff with dvswitch, some of which will involve the new webcam I received (logitech hd c510, works with uvcvideo, though not with built in webcam in tandem yet). The dvswitch stuff is a side effect of my volunteering for linux.conf.au 2011, which was amazing. Other side effects include the development of my OpenWRT knowledge (I did lots of flashing of them for LCA) and getting to have fun in patch closets as well learning the basics about recording digital video. Additionally I am helping review the videos as well. Also got a yubikey or two from LCA haven’t done much with them yet. […]

Hi everyone, Long time no updates. That said…, I will probably be eventually starting a theme redesign of this blog / website, given that some parts of HTML 5 and CSS 3 haves started to catch up to some of the implementation ideas that I have had in mind. Feedback about the Latin would be welcome as would suggestions for theme concepts, although I will probably keep the purple and the green colour scheme, albeit with a few modifications. And now without further ado, updates, glorious updates, to paraphrase or parody Oliver Twist depending on your sentimentality.  Things I have been doing recently include, looking for work / job searching, working on various […]

Stung, logophilia chances to dance from circumstances that seek amelioration

The partridges return in their dance Through the eye to the tiger, time flies Black leaf of red tree leads to minimal satisfaction The intertextuality replaced by misfortunate circumstances Rapture still remains with Euphoria broken and crying She wants to go home, but nobodies home, so there she lies broken inside Tooth for a tooth, wrestling fairies endure suffering but don’t find Buddha’s wisdom Still hassled by the askers and the silent placing their judgement as they blink , they fail to think , relying on good taste and instinct. Misheard words echoing through a room till the resonance takes over, the symbolism lost like a isohedric clover Mistrust, contempt […]

Hi, Got to attend the dawn service for Anzac Day, sprinting to it through the city at 4am after 21 hours without sleep, food and water(was coding an assignment) is an awesome experience. Anzac Day doesn’t really mean something to you until you have connected to those who you relate to who
