Repurposed my old MacBook Pro as a web-server/load-lightening-slave over the weekend, and so far it’s paying dividends. Really nice to offload our dev server duties to something that I don’t take with me when I go out or restart to play games in Windows 7.
Any recommendations for essential Linux software (even obvious stuff – I might’ve missed it!) are gratefully received at my twitter.
Early morning tech-support meetings are kinda OK when the weather walking to their office is like this.
Emsworth has a bad rep. Dan assures me that it’s to do with civil servants getting bored and fuelling a drug trade. I love the idea of GTA: Emsworth, so I’m happy to believe that. Still a beautiful little town, and home to an excellent client of ours.
Caught some lovely light pouring in to my office early this morning. Those blinds act as a nice filter sometimes.
Needed a bit of a shuffle in the office recently. Until today, my DVDs have been stacked in piles like some sort of student, and my CDs lay in a box, unloved. Now, that’s changed. CDs, Vinyl and DVDs have (mostly) been moved into boxes in the attic and regularly-accessed stuff has been put in a cabinet with games on top. I’ve also archived my amp in favour of AmpKit as it takes up way less space and I’m not playing a whole lot at the moment. Charlotte has also painted the fireplace bronze and hung a Xenz I bought her for Valentine’s Day (because “eBay Coincidence Day” doesn’t have the same ring to it).
Room feels really big now, except for the fact that it’s an atrocious, overcast day so there’s very little light. I’m sure it will feel big and light when the sun comes back. Come back, sun!
Pimp bronze fireplace is pimp. Or something. Goes with my Les Paul, either way.
I really want to get back into taking photos. Working so hard at the moment that I’m way past the mood to go out with my camera when I’m done. I miss it a lot sometimes, and when I see the great stuff others are pulling off, it makes me jealous and competitive. Might initially seem negative, but it goes a good way to getting rid of laziness!
