  4. Lesley - Dwayne who? Oh, The Boulder? Riiiiiiiiiight.

    Laura - I'm purty sure if you ask the google, it'll tell you what these words really mean, e.g. A Beowulf cluster is a group of usually identical PC computers running a Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) Unix-like operating system, such as BSD, Linux or Solaris; they are networked into a small TCP/IP LAN, and have libraries and programs installed which allow processing to be shared among them.

    See? Clear.as.mud.

    John - Do me a favour and ask Di to give you a slap from me.

  7. Thanks for clearing that up. I've been trying to figure out what "gooey front end" meant for a while now.

    Now I just have to get the glue out of my laptop....

  9. I really should be more awake when I come here. I took me this many times looking at the post to realize that the last "picture" is a video...


    D'oh!

  10. #Debi - About that video: when they're about to feed the crocs, they lead all the tourists onto a slatted wooden bridge across the pool. Once you're all standing on the bridge, they press a button to shake the bejesus out of you. Laugh? I nearly shitted myself!
