Happy New Year

It is a new year, or so they say, we are however still existing on the same timeline as we always did, and the only reason that we start a new year when we do is because some guy, about 2764 "Years" ago said it should be.

I have not been very productive during December regarding anything I was wanting to do last year, but I have managed to keep very busy with multiple random things.

I managed to finish a book I was reading: Spud Learns to Fly.

I have started reading Scar Tissue.

Work official starts again tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it, and will try get back into a regular routine, including getting all computers set up the way I need/want them to be.

I have felt extremely "offline" over the last few months, and would like to correct that as soon as possible.

Enjoying coffee

I want to start enjoying coffee more, so I will go step by step. I have been using a french press for quite some time now, and I have now also added a  moka pot . I am enjoying the coffee from that, and it should keep me going until I can afford a decent espresso machine and a proper grinder (I am using a cheap blade grinder at the moment). I am also thinking of getting one of those water jugs with the built in filter, if I want to buy a decent espresso machine, I don't want unfiltered tap water going straight into it.  (does anyone have a comment on that). Anyway... Keep enjoying coffee.

Tipping on a bottomless coffee

How much do you tip when having a bottomless coffee? I feel you should tip per cup, even if you only pay for one. so, if a bottomless coffee costs R20, and you drink 3, you should tip as though your bill is R60. Any thoughts on that?

Just a quick catch up

I have been wanting to write a post for a while, where I go through each app I have on my iPod Touch, and then find an equivalent for my Android Cell Phone.  I have not had time to do this yet, but it is on it's way. I have mostly been busy with moving. I am busy moving in with friends at the moment, maybe there will be more on that sometime, who knows. Another mini project I am looking at is putting Linux onto my MacBook to start playing with that again.  I installed Debian on my MacMini a week or two ago as well.  It is running, and I can get it online, but as soon as I enable IP_Forwarding the ppp0 connection goes up and down.  There are a few things I want to try, to see if I can sort this out.  I have been using iptables for forwarding, but I can also try other things (I really know nothing about NAT and Masquerading, etc).  It looks like something called iproute2 might be an option.  I can also try changing the MTU of the ppp0...
