Cracker: On the trail, pt 1., in reply to Danielle,
BECAUSE WORKING FUCKING SUCKS AND WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE
I’m so pleased that I’ve been working on my drunkorexia all week that I will only need one vodka to become blissfully ignorant of this.
Temporarily :(

Or, possibly, the name of a proposed new country
It could be a celebration of that libertarian paradise called Liberia.

Daze of wine and roses…
Saw them at The Kardomah Cafe, King's Cross in 1987. Only 24(!) years ago. Geez, now I'm depressed...
Wait, where's my cane?

He was warned not to use strcpy(). Now see what happened! Remember kids, stay safe - use memcpy()
I think I will honour him by rewriting some stuff at work in old-school C. Java can bite me - pft!

99% of the technology that enables me to post this and you to read it is depending on code written in C and computers running Unix.
True dat. Dennis, I take back everything bad I ever said about C and Unix. As I read somewhere (C programmer's tribute):
His pointer has been cast to void *

Hard News: Dropping the Bomber, in reply to Craig Ranapia,
Pardon my cynicism, but it might not be a bad thing if Tauranga was declared a politician-free red zone and the people who are actually more use than a stiff prick in a dyke bar on date night go to work.
Succinctly put, as always. I have to agree (people will start talking soon). I suppose it's a feather in the cap for a lot of reporters to get a minister or the PM to answer questions. But all we get is noise - they are asking the wrong person. There are Crown entities with directors and general managers and operational staff who are in charge of the immediate response. Yes, the government is responsible for making sure they have the resources they need, but otherwise - stay the fsck out.

Hard News: Dropping the Bomber, in reply to Paul Williams,
...that's got to command a response more than, "I've not been briefed on that yet"?
I didn't hear him on the radio this morning, but I did catch him on Checkpoint yesterday. I though he sounded very well-briefed about the grounding. Even to the point I found myself wondering who was talking. It sounded like the PM's voice, but but but...
I don't generally have much time for him, but credit where credit's due. IMHO, of course.

Hard News: Where are the foreigners?!, in reply to Danielle,
Mexican Specialities in Ellerslie or bust!
True, but their opening hours are a bit challenging for people like me and Dolly Parton.

The Middle East Café on Wellesley Street
Just to jump between all cultures here, I can recommend the Little Mexico Cantina which is next door to The Middle East Café.

Hard News: Where are the foreigners?!, in reply to Simon Grigg,
That was my wife Brigid's blog.
Ah, that's it. I would love to visit Khua Kling Pak Sod. Sounds and looks perfect.
