ghostbusters

We're having a company awards night soon. You know, one of those evenings where they try and make you forget that you're unappreciated the other 364 days of the year.

Anyhoo, it's an 80s theme night, so four of us decided to go to as Ghostbusters.

I ordered four flight suits from a US Army Surplus store a few weeks ago, not really thinking about the time it would/could take them to get here. With the awards night on this Friday, they have to arrive in the next two days, otherwise instead of these:

we'll have to wear spray painted versions of these:

which don't really look that authentic, even without the hood.

The fun/fiddly part was making the proton packs out of meat trays, old cups and bits of bucket.



The gun is a spray painted "Pleasure Supergun" with the sight and handle cut off. The barrel has flashing lights in it, and I cut out the speaker that makes machine gun noises. It actually looks pretty cool when it's running. I still haven't figured out how to attach it to the hose, but if all else fails, I still have a couple of glue sticks left :D

The hard part now is waiting for the next two days for those damn suits. I really think I'll be gutted if they don't get here in time,

laziest character development ever

Heard from the female lead role during the pilot for J.J. Abrams new show "Fringe":



"Petty bastard. He's pissed because his best friend sexually assaulted three marine privates, and I'm the bad guy cos I put him away"


and later:


"If my past job performance as U.S Marine Special Investigator offends you..."


Nothing like having to fit an entire back story into a couple of lines of dialogue.

this is why we need a car

It's pouring with rain and I want to get some stuff from Ikea. It's a 5 minute drive or close to 40 mins catching the tram(s). I'm not sure if you've noticed, but wet people smell
when they're sitting beside you.

os x tip: alias for network folder

Here's a quick Mac tip that I figured out by myself today. This is a big deal, because I'm not a mac fan (we just have a mac mini for a media server)

After Deb upgraded to OSX Leopard, OS 10.5, or whatever the hell they're calling it these days, we lost the ability to create an alias to a network folder (in Windows, the closest equivalent is a shortcut). I scoured the interwebs and couldn't find any way around it.

The solution is really simple:

1. Create an alias for any old file
2. Open the alias file info
3. Click on "Select new original"
4. Navigate to your network folder and click ok

And that's it! Too easy.

God knows why the powers that be decided to drop that bit of functionality, but if I've learned anything from the Mac community it's this: Steve Jobs is god and don't you fucking dare question ANY decision that Apple makes. If you don't like something it's because YOU are wrong and what you are trying to DO is wrong.

google earth 3d plugin

This is pretty freakin sweet: Google has created a proper 3D plugin for Google Earth.
Basically, you can bung Google Earth into a web page and do anything with it that you can do with Google Maps.

chicken coconut soup

We've made this a few times recently and it keeps getting better with each ingredient we add.

1 Tbsp peanut/vegetable oil
6 spring onions (or a small, finely chopped normal onion)
Tbsp chopped chilli
2 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
2 Tbsp lemongrass (I use the stuff from a tube as it's not all woody)

3 cups chicken stock
1 can coconut milk
1 Tbsp fish sauce

1 can creamed corn
1/2 can Baby corn (cut in half longways)
Thinly sliced chicken breast
Salt to season
1 Tbsp soy sauce

Heat the oil in a wok or large pot and fry the spring onions, chilli, ginger and lemongrass for a minute or so.
Add the chicken stock, coconut milk and fish sauce and bring to the boil uncovered (if you cover it, the coconut milk goes all curdled and disgusting).
Throw in the creamed corn, baby corn and chicken and let it simmer for 7-8 minutes.
Season with salt and add the soy sauce, mix it up and serve. I'm sure the presentation would look better with a sprig of coriander on top, but you won't find that gunk in my kitchen.
