Sleep Experiment

I’ve started a bit of a sleep experiment, inspired by this story from BoingBoing. I’ve been getting up relatively early since going on the GVBR, but I’ve been having issues with staying motivated to do things of an afternoon and evening after a day at work. I think part of… Read More

Cycle Fun

Auds and I rode 96 kms this morning. We couldn’t decide if we wanted to do hills or flats, so I made an executive decision and voted for flats. Most of it was flat, except for a few hills through Mornington. The weather was basically perfect: cool, but not cold,… Read More

Change Is Coming

I’ve been playing around with graphic design lately and the time has come to give eigenmagic.com a facelift. The current layout, styles, fontsets… well they suck. I’ve been redesigning the company website to make it look a bit more web2.0 (the current buzzword) and last night I realised that this… Read More

Life Etc.

A lot of stuff going on lately, hence the lack of updates. I completed the Holden High Country Cycle Challenge: 200+ kms over two days, including a climb up Mount Bulla, about 1200 vertical meters in 2.5 hours. Hard work, but fun. I’ve been doing a lot of work on… Read More

OSDC Photos

I’m incredibly slack, but I’ve finally managed to comment and upload photos from the Open Source Developer’s Conference from last year. I didn’t take many, but I did capture the famous OSI Layer Cake that Anthony built. This photo is just screaming out to have the actual OSI layer names… Read More

Beautiful Bianchi

I picked up my lovely new Bianchi on Friday night. She is every bit as lovely as I’d hoped. She was a bit mistreated getting her home, as the weather had broken and a large quantity of water decended from the sky, making the roads just that much more interesting… Read More

Bike Repairs

I had to fix the rear hub on Emma, the MTB. I’d previously taken it apart while replacing a spoke and didn’t put it back together properly, it would appear. Apparently you’re not supposed to tighten the ‘cones’ quite as much as I did. This explains why the hub didn’t… Read More

Fixing Accidental Upgrades

Yesterday I attempted to try out a game that was created as part of a graphics programming assignment for some uni students, I think from Stanford in the US. Their software apparently uses the SDL library for some graphics, so I attempted to install one using Debian’s apt-get. Unfortunately, it… Read More

New Bike Time

It looks like I’m going to have to buy a new bike. I’m pretty much hooked on cycling now, and the current borrowed road bike is several sizes too big for me. Unfortunately, I’ve acquired a taste for nicer bikes than my workhorse MTB that I use for my daily… Read More

Back At Work

I completely ignored this website for the last week, mostly on purpose. I’ve been attempting to get things in order for the year ahead, given that it’s going to be a fairly big one for me. I’ve got a few photo things that need to go up, which I’ll attempt… Read More
