Stuffs

Today I got around to try to sell some shirts att spreadshirt.se. More exactly http://facehugger.spreadshirt.se. Just got two designs so far, more will come, trust me. They will all have some attitude ;) At least that is the goal. Facehugger.net is my pet design project, haven’t happened much there so far, probably since I actually don’t have a decent computer to work on. Also I went to a trackday with some friends last week, didn’t ride anything though. Should have taken his KTM RC8 for a spin but he managed to bend both brake disks while trying to change front tyre. But now I really need to get me a streetbike ;)

Summertime is here

Now the summer is here for real.  It’s almost like Asia back home now, not that damp though. Pretty much like Hoi An. Hue was much drier and Kuala Lumpur was very damp. Almost got 34 degrees today and I am waiting for some thunder and rain. Got around to cut the grass today and realized that the guy at Electrolux that has designed my lawn mover has probably never owned a house. And is probably about 150cm tall.   I got a collector to gather all the leftover grass which is so badly designed that you cant back up your lawn mover without holding the collector or else it will end up in the cutting knives. Way to go! And I guess everyone that has a Briggs&Stratton knows how ‘reliable’ something constructed in the UK is. Should get me a Honda based one instead. It will probably last forever. At least I got around to graphing the disk temperatures in my file server using smartctl. I got snmpd run the following script, and yes it is ugly as hell since it does not tell you the name of the disk. Doesn’t really matter for me, since I already know in the cacti snmp template.

#!/bin/sh
for i in  `ls /dev/sd[a-e] `
do
smartctl --all $i |grep Temp | cut -c88-90|tail -1
done

Beach 2020

So, the plans for the beach 2020 has begun.  Bought me a new pair of shoes at Löplabbet, and a pair of socks.  Good shoes, unfortunatley I got some stomach cramps almost from the beginning of my test run today.  Will give it a try tomorrow as well, then I won’t eat just before ;)   Todays laptime was roughly 40 minutes for 5km.
