Computer/Work stuff

Been on an application server configuration course all week. Wont say which one, save to say this: "default security so weak, you could learn how to break in just by watching Angelina Jolie in Hackers.."

In other news, i might be changing jobs, but usual rules apply about not jinxing it till the pens on paper.

Feeling Ridge (ridge, aye):

========== By Christian McKay
and not ridge forrester from the bold and the beautfiful, though i bet you ladies wouldnt mind a feel of him eh!)

(to the song feeling good - use the Muse version for a singalong - except the roaches part, i got carried away with that)


Turds in the sky, you know how i feel
exploding sh!tter you know how i feel
New couple, breaking up, you know how i feel
Its just nova dawn, and scienceboy,'n two empty rooms
In Riiiiiddgee.

(last weeks)Dinner in the Friiiidge, you know how i feel.
Old milk in the Friiiidge , you know how i feel
(yellow) Brocolli in the friiiiidge, you know how i feel
Theres some old fruit, some old beer, and some of zoes stuff
(still) In the Fridge

(slow bit)

Scienceboy's having an affair with someone at 21, dont you know
Which means Novas lost a 10 buck bet, to both me and janelle
Cough it up... or give it to Si - when the day is done
for the phone bills, the gas bills and the leccy bills
at Riii--hiiiii-hiiiiiiiidddggee

(or an alternative slow verse)

barbeques out in the sun, you know how i feel, dont you know
bbqs are all full of turds, from the exploding john
crank up the Webber, when the day is done
get some burgers from cho-les and some charcoal
from Corinthiaaaaaa -aaaa -aaa -aaanss

Roach on the Walls, you know how i feel
Roach on the Floor, you know how I feel
Roach on the Window you know how i feel
Roach in the sink, you know what i mean
Roach under the fridge, your an illusive little bugger
Roach in my coffee, you've just been scalded and now you are gonna have your head bitten off
Roach in the dvd player, i'm trying to watch that you li'll f**ker!!
Roach in the vacuum, looks like you are collonising that aswell doesnt it
Roach in the cask o' red - OH FOR CHRISTS SAKE, GET OUT!!!
Roach on the balcony, at least you have the decency to stay outside
Roach by the mirror, your too self absorbed to care what i feel
Roach in the wall cavity, out!!! c'mon stop dicking around and get out
Roaches resililliant to the cold, why I OUGHT A!!!!! (shake fist)
etc

(on with verse)

Loose brick in the kitchen, leads through to next door.
Must put a blow up s£x-doll, onto their floor
Is the outline of Daaaan, Still on the sofa?
Its an old house. its a cold house its a coool house
In Surry Hills (du du du du du da dahh!)
and its Ridge Street

Antons leaving --Nova..

OH YEAH Pee. Sss!!!: man, can't believe I almost passed up the opportunity
to really shame the socks off the scienceboy. **the following must be read
with the David Attenborough voice**

There are many a level of drunkeness as we all know: tipsy, giggly, sloshed,
nicely toasted, wasted, rat-faced, shit-faced, paraletic,
janelle-my-legs-don't-work-coopered, and then there is something quite
beyond all of that. A rare but spectacular phenomenon known as the
"speechless man o'science". Having drunk only vodka, whisky, beer and red
wine for no less than 9 1/2 hours solid the man o'science, a nocturnal being
in this state, fumbled with the "ow, aargh, oh maan" lock for the standard
45 mins before veritbly crashing through the undergrowth of the hall and
into the lounge- a communal habitation area. upon erecting himself into what
is imagined to be a quasi-normal position he proceeded to lock his ever so
muscular arms around the waist of the nearest housemate (me) in order to
engage in an act of... sign language. There are at presents no known names
adequate of representing this peculiar state- the state of simply being too
drunk to speak. However one cannot ever feel privleged enough at having
witnessed such a rare and wonderful event.
