It SNOW!!!ed today.

Two local kids making two sodding great snowballs. Very proud to have a photo taken.

Out the front at 6am.

Out the back at 9:15am.

The C*ntral Line was gerfuxx0r3d, so I W*rked from Home. This involved beating an outsourcer around the head and breaking our internal wiki while setting one up for the webmasters. I spent all afternoon trying to set up a 'l33t MoinMoin wikifarm when it was the work of twenty minutes to just set up a separate installation. Now I just need to get Apache to behave.

Tonight we continue our exciting life with packing and dismantling stuff. Things on the critical path are (1) arkady's desk (2) redcountess's and my room (3) getting the shelves in the spare room absolutely clear.

Urgh I hate moin moin - can't you get them to use mediawiki?

[reddragdiva]

Nuh. It's way overkill for an office wiki for ten people. Also, MoinMoin doesn't require a database.

[secretlondon.livejournal.com]

For ten yeah okay. Ubuntu using moin moin is inexcusable tho.

No no no, moinmoin is best!

I was sad when work had a competition between moinmoin and mediawiki and everyone else preferred mediawiki. But then again, I like WikiWords and nobody else seems to.

Nothing beats a whiteboard with a webcam and remotely-controlled robotic arms. For extra bonus, get one of the whiteboard with multiple drawing surfaces you can shuffle around! Ok, so, it's not practical, it doesn't hyperlink, but it's COOOOOOL.

Ooooh the snow is pretty but what's it like to live with?

Y'know if Paul would answer the comments on his LJ, he might get more help.
