Chapters in life
Life is about stories. Each one of us is a unique saga, waiting to be told. Η ζωή είναι για ιστορίες. Ο καθένας είναι ένα μοναδικό έπος που περιμένει να μας πει.
2018 – already this far in?
Where do I even begin. Ever since I've returned from Greece, I had been blessed. Shown the high life by Zeus with perks and abundance everywhere. Taken up the game of chance with Hermes. Openned up my home/temple to service, in Artemis, Hera and Hestia's honour. Not all is up…
Greece – Amazing
I finally realized our (me and my departed wife) dream to make it to Greece. Many years of savings and finally the trip. What started out to be a simple journey to scatter her ashes on Mt Olympus, turned out to be a major Oddessey for me. An initiation of…
Server downtime
Looks like there was a hardware issue (mem) which forced the site/DS to go down. Replacement was done within a couple of hours. Luckily it's on a Sun. Nice one. Also found out that I'm #3 Aphrodite@OCE Smite. Working on getting my rank up a bit now ;)
Changing servers again
It's sad to keep switching server due to hardware failures - even on the cloud. I've moved it back to a private server (slow bandwidth) for a short while - back to the cloud again now. Expecting more migrations to happen in the next few days. Mail was up, now…
Whispers of the Drum : The art of music (The beginner)
The drum (djembe) is a percussive instrument that goes back a long way in history. Traditionally an (West) African drum it is quite a popular instrument these days. While there are many different sources of its history (and more in depth) on the Internet, I wish to tackle this from…
Smite Season 4 is up
Season 4 Smite is up and I'm all the way in again. Wholesale changes to items are still being worked through, though I have found that old builds seemed to work fine still. Ingress still taking up time in between work. Made Lvl 13 - topped the region as top…
Back to Ingress after 2 yrs absence?
Ok, so I got suckered in back to Ingress - but unfortunately I missed out on the anomaly literally 1 wk before I restarted. Having said that, I've gained so much AP in the last 10 days. Thanks to the double AP promotion. The old crew have mostly dissapeared, but…
Flare-On Challenge 2016
Never even heard of it until a friend of mine told me they're working for FireEye (none of the fun stuff though). Looking up their blogs, I found they ran a yearly FLARE-ON challenge. So I thought I'd give it a check out. http://2016.flare-on.com/ - if anyone wants to participate!…
Migrating to Cloud
Yes, a lot of disruptions. After lamenting over the state of the Australian NBN (Fraudband) - and realizing it would take 4 days to just copy my mailserver up, I've decided to drag it all to a hard disk and bring it to somewhere where I can upload 10x the…
