Memorial Bench

Memorial Bench
from the nice-tribute dept.

The memorial bench that my colleagues and I commissioned has finally been installed in the park outside our office. Its in memory of our colleague, Benedetta Ciaccia, who was a victim of the July 7th bombings in London.

Would the colleague of mine that just printed out a word document, consisting of a beginners guide to some of the more "specialist" sexual practises, to our team printer please own up?

New FreeBSD server

New FreeBSD server
from the unleash-the-daemon dept.

Built a new FreeBSD server last night using more donated spare hardware. The install was remarkably easy and fast, but I guess thats because it only gives you the basics needed to get the machine up and running, without any graphical environment, apps or anything configured.

I've got a basic SSH server running so I can spend the next few days slowly configuring the machine. However, SSHing to the box seems a bit slow and I'm not convinced its a hardware issue - the 192MB Pentium III 550Mhz should be ample for a server of this nature. Maybe the 10 gig drive is the problem...

Back to the old school

Back to the old school
from the keep-it-real dept.
Ah, its just like the good old days - up all night on the Atari ST, slaving over Degas Elite and Devpac until 1am. Quick break for takeaway and PS2, then back to converting my VBL chip replay routine to a Timer C routine. Just gotta slow down that damn scroller now...

IT Crowd - Dance Remix

IT Crowd - Dance Remix
Someone posted a comment to my last post, asking where I'd got the IT Crowd dance remix from. It was just a little rip from the episode, but since then, someone has done a proper job using audio editing tools. You'll find it here on AtariBoy's blog
