Re: Sales??
"out people"????
Are they gay, or outdoorsy folk?
As a fellow Kiwi, I can't help but think "oh well... Darwin Awards, and all that", but she spawned 8 brats... ffs.
So all I can think is "what a dumbass she is/was, and so is her family"

Re: Lucky?
Input Director is what I use at work.
Windows only, though. And at the time I was using Synergy you couldn't share the clipboard (I see you can now).
Plus synergy's configuration was a bitch (easier to manually edit the config file) - look easier now.
home labs: mine has just died... and of course I have no support (obsolete, hand-me-down hardware from work) so I'm buggered.

Posted in LucasArts' Dark Forces
I bought this and "Nativity In Black, a Tribute to Black Sabbath" on the same day and thus listened to it constantly while playing DF.... to this day certain tracks on that CD still conjure up scenes from various levels :)

"Still pining for what could have been - google 'William Gibson Alien 3 Script' and you'll see what I mean!"
this is what I tell people - Alien 3 could/should have been just as scary as Alien and just as actiony as Aliens
Re: Porn
you're fucking kidding me, right???
I always liked that snickers ad of Vinnie Jones grabbing Paul Gascoigne's balls with the slogan "Got nuts yet?"
Posted in Whale versus shark in KIWI DEATH MATCH!
Slow news day in Australia
Author is in Oz. NZ-Ozzie friendly rivalry dictates items like this get reported in Oz (no doubt resulting in such comments as "call that a shark attack? THIS is a shark attack!")

Posted in Netflix rules out Kiwi launch
"Netflix has rejected New Zealand as a potential international launch spot because of low internet data caps and content rights issues."
I can see lots of discussion of broadband caps, but none further on digital rights issues....

Posted in Rogue admin waits for verdict
BOFH
I think he is like me: I get el Reg via RSS, and for some reason Simon's BOFH doesn't report itself to the feed, so he would have (like me) created a custom search query for "BOFH" and used that for the RSS feed.
Also in NZ
We've had this in NZ since the last election......
Political commentary/billboards/etc must be signed by a real name etc....
:(
fuckers, the lot of them.
process process process
as the virtual infrastructure guy, I'm continuously being asked by devs, app support, testers, etc "can I have the VI console, and access to VM x,y,z?"
no.
Then I tell them the analogy of the "key/swipecard access to the server room" - do you have physical access to our datacentre? no, well the VIC is the same thing... so you won't be getting that either.
So far, so good - it's been a strong enough argument to stop them bitching to their boss, who in turn bitches to mine, and I then go thru my little speech again, and their boss goes away thinking their staff have not been 100% up front to him.....

"Happy
As Monday* was Labour Day, what do you expect?
*Down here in NZ anyway. Don't you love public holidays?"
and today, the day after Labour Day, it's cold and miserable enough to make me think I'm back in London. ;)
