Guitar Hero madness


Last night’s party.

On topic, sort-of, went to Allens/Billy Blue yesterday to pick up a bargain on a left-handed bass and amp as they’re having a liquidation sale, but the entire shop was empty. Serves me right for thinking that their sale wasn’t going to be “for real”. I ended up getting a guitar stand that’ll hold 2 guitars, some nice leads too, all 60% off.

Database corruption


Yup.

So yesterday morning a few people reported issues with JDMST not loading right. I failed to see any problems, but after some trial and error I noticed an advertising banner was screwing up the entire forum, at this point I’d already ripped a lot of hair out and attempted to rebuilt and optimise tables in the backend. Unfortunately for me something crapped out when rebuilding some tables… fair call as JDMST is a MASSIVE forum, this in turn totally destroyed something. People were not able to see new posts, some couldn’t make posts… nightmare.

I googled hard, and harder, no luck. I ended up contacting some developer friends, no luck there either (they were all too busy). I contacted the host in the USA and they suggested I revert to a previously backed up snapshot of the forum. Problem is the backup was 4 days old. I did it, as it had to be done, but all posts made in the past 4 days were lost, all private messages too and this has obviously upset a fair few people (members and traders as well).

On the one hand I’m glad everything is working as it should again. Daily backups could be worth the extra $$$ perhaps, but then again it’s not the kind of thing that happens a lot (and it was my fault in the first place!).

Sydney Aquarium


Massive lobster climbing over an even bigger crab (can’t help but crave seafood every time I visit the aquarium lol).


Grumpy stonefish.


Massive fan of the jelly tank (Tank nightclub needs to install one of these in their club!).


Stunning, right?


Got a massive shock when I spotted Mr Dugong! I love dugongs!!!


Sawfish.


Underwater garden.


Anemones.


Banner fish, just chillin, white tip sharks sleepin.


The gift shop on exit got us! Nana and her new friend ‘Squishy’.


Yup… ALWAYS end up getting seafood after a visit. HAHA.


Of-course Squishy joined us too.

I’m always critical (having had many aquariums myself) but it’s always fun visiting the Sydney Aquarium. Best surprise was the dugong! I love dugongs!

Jess’ 21st


Me, Jess and Christina.

Despite feeling like an old man; Jess’ 21st at the Arthouse last weekend was awesome! The speeches had me crying with laughter, especially Christina’s speech and the videos of Jess in a unicorn outfit rapping to Beiber. Ahhhh to be 21… brought back memories of my 21st so many years ago (and nope I didn’t get carded on the way in… spewin!).
