I got my fuel pressure and oil pressure gauges yesterday, from Lee’s Spare Parts & Performance - a great little place down on Kingston road, near me. I ended up just buying two oil pressure gauges, since that’s all they had, and they were cheap - they are the same gauges anyway, just with different labels 🙂 They are Speco brand 2″ white face gauges, nice and small, and easily readable. They ended up being $59.95 each, which was a steal since they are electrical, and include the sender and all mounting hardware.

Well, that royally sucks, all their history is destroyed 🙁 These guys make some seriously cool animated shows and feature films, incorporating good english humor and hilarious visuals.

Found from a slashdot article here.

Oh well, so that failed, there’s no wireless access points that I can see from where I sit at this desk overnight. I’m at work, starting at eleven PM. It’ll probably be so boring that I’ll just jot down notes and rambling whenever I think of something.

23:00 The overnight. It’s a really boring shift from what I’ve heard, only about one call an hour when things on the network are running fine, or completely crazy if they are not. Let’s hope that it all goes well, I’ll just put up a recorded message begging people not to talk to me if it goes awry.

(Update 30/4/15 there WAS a ) Great review of John Romero’s “Dead” series of movies on K5.

But the site’s gone and they refused the Internet Archive’s services. http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/10/25/6750/9089

My funny friend Jessica’s a bit of a goth. Well, a fair bit of a goth. She’s also just out of high school, so she’s funny and cute and stuff. Get her a corset. I’ll probably donate. Maybe. You better too!

Finally I found something told me how to fix my problems with the STUPID compilation issues of late. Delete the file path_dps.m4 from your filesystem!

This page tells you to run this command:

rm /usr/share/aclocal/path_dps.m4

Delete the file, and no more stupid compilation issues. Hooray! Here’s the gentoo bug report if you want more information.

I’ve been invited to a poker game in a week and a bit, so I decided to learn how to play Texas Holdem Poker. Mitchell’s playing on holdempoker.com at the moment, and the interface seems nice, so I decided to log on and have a go. It’s an interesting game, based on the fact that you get two “hole” cards which are your own, and then there’s five cards that gradually come out on the table, once they are all out, then you make your hand. I had a look at the holdempoker.com tutorial, and some other tutorials at about.com. They’ve got some basic info on how the game works, some tips on the strategy while playing holdem, and a page on what hands beat what in poker rules.

Duct Tape Bandaids! That’s entirely cool!

Well it seems that one of my friends, the amazing Wiz from #overclockers may be on call to support the staff in the local hospitals in NT taking care of some of the victims of the most recent Bali bombing. Wow. My thoughts are with you dude, good luck and I wish you’d get a weekend off for once.

Another lame attempt at expressing my feelings, brought to you by ricetek.net.

The exhaust is in today, and I’ve started some of the wiring. The fuel pump run to the back of the car is done, and so is the battery wiring to the relay box. There’s a short run from the relay case to the fuel pump that’s going in the front of the car, just so I know where things are going. The O2 sensor should work out nicely, the controller for it will sit next to the battery under the wiper motor etc. There’s not much more wiring I can do until I get more sensors, and it seems that the short loom I got with the first injection manifold had the wrong connectors for the injectors I have. It’s got two that’ll suit, but one of them doesn’t have a circlip to hold onto the lugs on the injectors, and the other one’s looks like it’s a little warped from heat or something. That means I’ll have to get onto bosch to find some part numbers of connectors so I can just buy them.
