  • Linux.conf.au – LCA2014 Perth visit (Part 2)

    This page is a continuation of Page 1 One thing i will say about perth, it gets fairly hot! The first Monday was about 36C outside, which is pretty bad when you are walking long distance between buildings with a laptop on your back (or in my case, a large 17″ laprock!) Luckily for us,…

  • Linux.conf.au – LCA2014 Perth visit (Part 1)

    Recently i started talking to an amazing bunch of people, who had proposed, and been accepted to host the next Linux.conf.au in Auckland, New Zealand.

  • Rimuhosting Summer Soccer 2009

    Every year the staff at rimuhosting.com head offices are made to do this thing called exercise. It apparently keeps us fit and healthy and makes our brain work or some such. Either way, its a legitimate way to beat the crap out of our workmates and other innocent gamers using a ball as our weapon,…
