Tongariro Crossing

Climbed the Tongariro Crossing in the weekend. Here is an "information dense" map of the route:

The main things to note:

1. The scenery is amazing
2. The steps down the other side of the mountain destroyed me
3. Afterwards I couldn't walk properly for days

Worst spelling mistake ever

I don't really see how you can do this without trying to!


Liz brought this into work today - its from a Harvey Norman's christmas mailer that went out to hundreds of households.  I swear to god I am not making this up - look at the description of the camcorder on the left.

Pictures from Peru

I have uploaded some pictures from my holiday in Peru with Jaq - not all of them so far (we came back with over 3000!). And since Zeald's website manager system didn't have an image gallery tool I built one of those too.

Projects site up, slowly putting scripts and things in there

I've been working on getting a personal server setup, so I have someone to store scripts and things I write. What self-respecting geek could survive without their own online subversion server I ask you!

The server FYI is a P2 400 (!! seriously, I just had nothing faster lying around and it turns out to be amply fast enough), running debian-sarge and the vservers patch, with a virtual server running on that with trac and subversion.

So now you can access any code I feel the need to publish at projects.simsemporium.com
