15 million pieces

August 7th, 2006

So Joshua asked my why the heck I was doing that puzzle (OK, I said it actually is a puzzle) and here’s now the story for that ..

Diagnose: Bursted plaster

Diagnose: Bursted plaster

As you see on the image above, the plaster is completely bursted. The dome also started to get some crannies, so my parents decided to cover the whole plaster with pebbles. Only catchy thing about that is: you need to glue every single pebble (diameter ~1cm) by hand onto the cement. And that pretty much sucks.

Ok, so it took us about two whole weekends to cover the dome with the pebbles (don’t ask about my back, it was hurting like someone put a hot iron back there), next thing will be the substructure that also needs to be reworked.

OT: to compete a bit with ChrisWhite, I managed to catch another expression on my face:

Me, being agitated

Now guess, what pissed me off at that time ? *g*

Plaything

August 3rd, 2006

Ok, today I received another WRT54GL (yah, too much money :P ) and updated it to dd-wrt v23-SP1 instantly and is now (once again) powering my wireless network.

Yay! and thanks to Cisco/Linksys for that fine piece of hardware and to NewMedia-NET GmbH for providing such a great image for this hardware :)

Ah, nearly forgot that: remember, never put the same IP twice in the static DHCP lease table, or dnsmasq is refusing to start (thus no DHCP/DNS)!

Mood sucks

August 3rd, 2006

christel, you remember the mood-swings we were talking about ?

I think I’m undergoing just another :( I’m currently pretty much pissed. Basically everything is pestering me currently (except #gentoo-dev and Gentoo work).

Work just ripped another piece of me (hah, thanks VMware & BigBlue). I started the day with a ice cold shower (if I’m talking about ice cold it was ice cold), they’re currently replacing our old gas heating and unfortunately that means no warm water at all! *arg*
