Z-Man's status update

[Phytotron]

Why, are you fixin' to move, too, Phytotron?

No, but following my post, and lack of reply from Z-man, the phrasing confused it a bit. That is, your question could have been read as asking whether I used the word "fixin'."

This is the annual time of year when we start talking about moving south, though. Damn cold starting to kick in. That's why I said I was jealous of the temps down thar.

And now British vernacular.

I hope it goes well for you. If you get the time, I find great pleasure in building my own furniture, like book-cases and beds etcetera

Among the reasons I want to get into fiberglass, I want to build furniture out of it.

Network is back! Woo! The home server with one of the masters and the ladle recordings is online again. I may have to look after the dyndns setup tomorrow because it is unclear so far whether the connection is going to do a forced reset and if so whether the IP will change.

I built new PC desk out of wood last week. I'm actually really proud of how it turned out. And I can finally get my chair under it!

I have a fibreglass life-size horse in my living room. Here is a picture of us trying to get it in our old house:

I have so many questions, but I'm afraid of the answers.

We have a local store that mostly does auctions of all kinds of stuff, but also produces oversized gorilla statues. These ones: http://www.flickr.com/photos/livingethi ... 314031239/ They actually sell a couple of them per year, probably to people who already have everything except oversized gorilla statues.

[þsy]

That is amazing! An oversized gorilla statue is something I do not have. The horse often looks a little lonely, maybe the gorilla could keep it company

[delinquent]

omfg that's amazing... too bad I don't have the space for that sort of thing. I have to stick to building functional furniture atm, until we get a bigger house.

[epsy]

With the ban of bestiality, this can have functional uses.

[Z-Man]

Thanks, that's the kind of thought I was trying to avoid.

That's an awfully subtle way of saying "YOU STOLE MY IDEA, NOOB!"

Restoration of the automatic build system is taking longer than expected, the update of the two machines to 12.04 removed gcc 4.1, which I was relying on for compatibility with old distributions. Plus, I never really liked that it just uses the regular work and game machines, sshing and scping between them, so what I'm going to do now is set up a single, 64 bit build virtual machine responsible for all builds.
