Linux Sand Garden

So, I havnt posted in a while, familiar trend going on eh. Was keen on a
post but forgot, and didnt really have a rant worth posting anyway, but
after trying to find a decent wallpaper on deviantart I have a great
one, their website is USELESS, it used to be very
reasonable, with lots of functionality and I can even understand their
plight.

They are trying to serve a massive amount of content, to a huge amount
of people, but that doesnt mean they need to do it so appaulingly
simple. They are using a single drop down menu, with no alternative to
see the whole tree, and it lags. Then when you actually find the
catagory you want, you then are presented with 3 options. Old, popular,
and new. Where did the option of sorting it by something really
important, like image dimensions. Rather essential really, especially in
the wallpaper section where I was looking. I do not want to spend my
time sifting through all the 800×600 images when I am after 1152/1280
and up.

On other notes, broadband still rules (of course). I still over use
smilies. :) I have swapped my (D)amn-Link modem for a USB speedtouch
modem hooked up to my server, which is great as I can now control the
portforwading with some iptables magic, and they usually work, where as
they didnt with the d-link. My issue is that in this small house there
is no where to put the server where its case and power supply fans dont
annoy anyone, its quiet enough that I cant hear it with this pc on, but
unfortunately too loud for me to sleep with it running.

I now play Call of Duty 2, and am even in a clan, and love playing in the Aussie Game Arena ladder. I’m not bad but still not that awsome yet, and we got thrashed in the last scrim we played on Tuesday.

Thats all I can think of now, again I may try and make a new layout for my wordpress as the default is getting oooold.

It is about time that a quality and well grounded cooking TV show was made in New Zealand. Sure you can have you wild pidgeon with celeriac (a demented cellery) and pine nuts from Gordon Ramsey, but I’d far rather have a roast, or red wine stew, bog standard good food!

Kiwi Kitchen is hosted by Richard Till, who I find a touch eccentric, but very entertaining and you can tell he is passionate about his food. He visits three different people, who can be ‘famous’ for the certain dish that he is going to create him self in the latter part of the show, usually with a few minor changes in the recipe or cooking method.

I believe that there is nothing good with the food of old, and I hope that this show will bring back some of the great recipes back into peoples kitchens, some have been sorely missed!
