fitness crazy

July 21st, 2005

before work this morning i was watching SuperSport… they had this 100 mile run on… where people were running between 8 and 28 hours to finish the race.

i will be dead after 4 hours, i am sure.
Give me 21km or so, and i will still run it. Not now though, i’m way too unfit now, i will mostlikely collapse after the first 4km’s :)
But with some practise i will take on 21 km or so, but definitely not 100 miles, that is bloody crazy…

besides i’ll miss my sleep too much ;)

lost my car keys

July 14th, 2005

last night i went out to get buy some bread. after going to the shop, i thought i’d go for a drive around town. whilst driving around, i met up with an old friend we chatted adn decided to go get something wet.

so we end up at a local pub after driving past 4 or 5 pubs, checking out which wasn’t too busy… so we spent a couple of hours talking. when we finally decided to leave, i looked for my car keys. they were not in me pocket, which is usally where i leave them :) we searched around the desk a might, went back to the fireplace where we later moved to. and nothing.

At the managers desk no lost keys were given in. so we decided to drive to my place , fecth my spare keys and them come back and get my car.
when i got to my car, offcourse i must mention that my driver side window is non-existent :), i found my keys still in the ignition.
i guess my car is just too damn UGLY to steal. i mean no window, with the keys still in the ignition, or perhaps just nobody walked past my car :)

inventory suig !!

July 12th, 2005

yip that’s it. o officially dislike inventory… i just spent my whole morning walking from one office to the next, collecting S/N for printers.

Luckily i have gotten hold of a nice utility Belarc, which makes a print out of all the specs of a machine, so that saves me some time and headaches.
luckilyu this only needs to be done once, and IF i keep the document up to date as i make changes, it wouldn’t need to be done again to such an extent.

LDC

July 8th, 2005

i just found this link Linux Distribution Chooseron a mailing list, and thought why not check it out.

well i went through all the questions and at the end ?

” Sorry, we were not able to find any matches. Please come back later.” i guess there ain’t no distribution for me yet :) so i’ll just continue using fedora core 2, ubuntu warty and suse 9.3
