r3dux.org

As Sage Francis would put it – I’m back to destroy decoys and be the -real- McCoy…. Yeeeaaahhhhh BHOY

Had planned on writing my own CMS and did get a bunch of work done on it… it’s just that there’s always a thousand other things to do, and writing a CMS is pretty low on the list of priorities. So, instead of just leaving r3dux.org empty, I’ve finally buckled and installed WordPress. Total install time including tweaking the config to talk to the MySql server – 15 mins. Gotta say – the installation process is impressively slick. Slap 4 fields in a config file, upload, run the install where you just name your blog and enter an email – that’s IT. Pretty slick…

I took down the php-nuke portal here maybe, what? A year ago? 9 months ago? So as far as updates go… there’s far too much to wibble on about in one bash, suffice to say – I jacked in EADS, moved to Australia and am bloody loving it

The only tricky bit is getting a job when you’ve only got a working holiday visa and can only work for a company for 6 months at a shot. Am looking around at contract work in Melbourne, but it’s not the easiest thing to get in the current clime with all the economic meltown, erm, melting down. Will persevere and get something in the end, or end up a dual British/Australian citizen and get the six month handcuffs off. Either way, I’m quietly optimistic.

What kind of stuff am I going to sling up on here? Well…

• Tech stuff — any and every

• Linux bits, pieces, fixes n’ the like..  — oh yes… ya gotta love the linux

• Gaming shenanigans — ’nuff said

• Pic-a-chuz — and any interesting/funny type junk I come across

• Pipe schmokin’  amputee pr0n — and lots of it

So the same as before then? Er, that’s a yes. If I really wanted to write big-ass articles about turnips or whatnot, I’m prolly better of submitting them to Turnip Monthly than shoving them here.

More digital scrap-pad than anything else, hopefully we’ll end up with some interesting/amusing and (possibly) useful scraps of knowledge chipped from the block of the interweb and/or stolen from YouTube comments.

Let the games commence!
