The girls in rank order

Smashie and Nicey

Smashie and Nicey

Ok, prompted by Leo and Owen, the girls in rank order:

In reverse order, Smashie and Nicey/Alan Freeman style…

5. Annie – she felt nauseous when we stopped.
4. Laura Q – reasonable, but too much faffing about!
3. Edie – Plenty of experience, but not the best… maybe it was the flip-flops.
2. Caroline FH – very good, she’s had lots of experience!
1. Eleanor – a natural, with a vice-like grip between her thighs that inspires confidence.

If only you can work out what it’s a rank order of :)

Getting VMware Workstation 6.5 to work on AMD64 Ubuntu 9.04

February 13th, 2009 beezly No comments

If you get a segfault when trying to start vmware on Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) you can fix the problem by moving /usr/lib/vmware/modules/binary to somewhere else (binary.old) will do.

The included 64 bit binaries cause vmware to segfault when starting up.

Good luck!

Afuse FTW

February 4th, 2009 beezly No comments

Today I started to try and get autofs and sshfs to play nicely with each other. Sadly, because of the way both autofs and ssh works, it’s not easy to do.

Then along came afuse, which solved the exact problem I had. Now I can do;

cd ssh/some.other.host

and I get to the root directory of another machine. Magic!

How the Land Lies…

February 2nd, 2009 beezly 2 comments

Mainly for the focus of the BBC and Londoners, but here’s how the UK and Ireland are REALLY split up…

Map of the UK and Ireland

NOTE

Birmingham is NOT in the North, it’s Midlands.
Likewise, Watford, is NOT the North.
Cambridge ISN’T in the North either.
“The South” is a relatively small area compared to the rest of the UK, or even just compared to the rest of England, so it’s really nice of us to hear so much about it when you have a few flakes of snow and manage this (courtesy of The Register).
