Testimony, take 3

Posted by Simon Welsh | 23 January 2012 | Comments (0)

These seem to be becoming a yearly occurrence. They'll probably stay like that for a while too.

I was going to record it this year, so I could then transcribe what I actually said rather than post what I wrote, but I forgot to grab my phone as I went up. So you get my unedited notes instead. Hooray!

Maybe next year I'll actually figure out how to record things from the console, or just stick in an aux/monitor and use that.

So long, 2011

Posted by Simon Welsh | 7 January 2012 | Comments (5)

I'm shameless ripping this from Lauren, though I may not have answers for all the prompts.

2011 is gone, so it's time to answer some questions about it that may or may not serve any point.

Worlds Apart

Posted by Simon Welsh | 1 July 2011 | Comments (0)

I am the only one to blame for this
Somehow it all ends up the same
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
I flew too high and like Icarus I collide
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
To rid myself of all but love
to give and die

Connecting to a WiFi network using Terminal in Snow Leopard

Posted by Simon Welsh | 4 June 2011 | Comments (0)

The server that runs the Welshs Books point of sales system decided to pick a sad and failed to finish booting. It's a Mac Mini running Mac OS Server 10.6(.7). After taking it home, setting it up headless and doing some magic I got it to finish booting and could SSH in over an ethernet cable.

Since I'm a nice admin with full root access to a system I don't use, I figured I may as well run softwareupdate while it's sitting on my desk (cause the ADSL it's normally on sucks). Instead of turning on internet sharing, I started finding out how to get the server to join my wifi. Normally this involves clicking on a menu item, pasting my password and hoping I got my password right. Turns out it's a lot harder to do via the command line.

Goodbye teenager-hood

Posted by Simon Welsh | 1 June 2011 | Comments (0)

Contrary to popular belief, I am not ≥25, but am only 19. Though that's changing sometime soon. As such, you should all get me "leaving teenager-ness" gifts, or something. I've even made a small list of some of the things I may want and my previous list is probably mostly still accurate, though you could be creative as well. Creativity is occasionally fun, I'm just no good at it :)

Comment moderation

Posted by Simon Welsh | 30 April 2011 | Comments (0)

I'm tired of spam coming in when I'm sleeping, so I now need to manually approve every comment.

I'm back, baby!

Posted by Simon Welsh | 24 April 2011 | Comments (0)

So, lent is now over. That means I can have my social life back. If I haven't tweeted already, it probably means I'm asleep and will be tweeting again later today! Woohoo!

Given that I didn't miss Facebook at all, it can stay blocked. Cause who cares about it?

Thought patterns

I found this on Libra, dated at 2138 on 2010-12-23. I can't be bothered reading it, but I assume it was just whatever I was thinking at the time that I could type fast enough to record. Henjoy.
