Giant Iguana Single Speed (Whitey!)

Yep, more buildingness has taken place. And the new frame has a name… Whitey! Going to keep rebuilding it as it was for Dirtworks. But wheelset, crankset, brakes, seatpost & saddle are all on the table for upgrades during Winter.

That’s our fucking house!

Last night Liz and I were watching old reruns of The Chaser’s CNNNN and were super surprised to see that the house we now live in was in the background of one of the shots. In 2003, Liz used to watch CNNNN religiously while living in Queensland and attending High School. I watched it in(click to read the full post)

The All New Old Giant Iguana

Okay. With the demise of my Giant Iguana frame, I’ve been looking on eBay for a cheap xtc or similar frame. Nothing came up until I found what was hilariously the perfect bike for me. It’s a … *pause for dramatic effect* … 17″ 2003 Giant Iguana frame. The exact same model and size as(click to read the full post)

The Giant Iguana Single Speed Frame

Just a small update on my Giant Iguana Single Speed. It’s all broked. Basically, a few weeks before Dirtworks, the bottom bracket started making a clicking sound. Turns out that was one side of the bottom bracket shell had enlarged, so the thread wasn’t threading in. This can pretty much be attributed to me running(click to read the full post)

Popularity!

My savvycat stats have EXPLODED since yesterday, due to a post on ikea hacker about Train’s cat run. Then today it made lifehacker, so the hits are still coming in. I’m very chuffed, I’m reaching a whole audience of people I don’t know. The internet is so cool.

Dog | Dog Toy.

Jarod and I went down to the Eveleigh Farmer’s Markets on Saturday, and hung around for the Finders Keepers Markets. Just as we were finishing up, I saw a dog alongside his toy raccoon. So cute. We also picked up a chocolate brownie and a sticky date pudding (with caramel sauce!) from the Fare Gourmet(click to read the full post)

Ubuntu fail.

So, who didn’t check if she would be able to connect to her work’s remote desktop thingy through Ubuntu? Yep, that’d be me. This afternoon I wiped Ubuntu, reinstalled Win XP and then dual booted Ubuntu (for when I don’t need work stuff). Oh, the pain of setting up Windows from scratch. What’s that?
