Morally ambiguous honey badgers
For Katy: I too would disembowel anyone who makes you sad.
A good day
Today started a bit on the rocky side, but finished with a bang. My work efforts were recognised and we’ll received. I managed to achieve a personal work goal I’d set myself (get all the kbase services under nagios monitoring). When I got home, Katy had most of the fixings done for a v-day feast, all I had to do was cook the steaks and poach some eggs. We cracked open the nice bottle of gamay we got from le petit manoir and settled down for a night of movies. We watched an Omid Djalili stand up and Idiocracy – a movie so bad it circles all the way to good :-) then there was cheesecake. Ooooh, the cheesecake. Now there is bed.
The family that porns together…

Family portrait
Katy made me a family portrait in sock penguins as a valentines day gift. Each penguin is made from Bean’s, Katy’s or my sock. I love them! On a scale of 1 to 10, they go to eleven!
THIS! For the epic win!
To toast the achievements of Canadian athletes — and only Canadian athletes, unless they’re feeling philanthropic — Molson Canadian has installed a Canadian-flag-red refrigerator in the Canada Olympic House in Sochi filled with its sweet, sweet mass-market lager. The catch: You can open the fridge and grab a free beer only by scanning a Canadian passport,
Mad hax0r skillz
It takes a certain amount of skill to write a 3 line shell script like this:
#!/bin/bash source [FILE THAT DOESN'T EXIST] service [EXECUTABLE NOT CONFIGURED AS A SERVICE] start
It takes an ever greater amount of still to have this as part of a well known, large-scale code project, where the controller scripts can point to possibly conflicting (or sometimes empty!) configuration files.
The nightmare continues.
Expectations vs resources
True, how very true.
I love my wifey and she loves me
I want a penguin as a pet!!!
Lala the King Penguin was rescued from a fishing line when he was a couple of years old and when he was fully recovered, he refused to leave. He’s been the family pet ever since (he was 10 in 2006, when this was filmed). One day he went shopping with them and got very excited about the fish shop (understandably!). Since then, he goes off on his own to pick up fish from the shop for the family, which be brings back in his little penguin backpack, having nommed his own fish at the shop. And when he returns home to his Japanese family’s house, there is a custom-build, air-conditioned room waiting for him.
