I decided to go on a little walk on the way home from a work lunch and I don’t regret it. This is a nice area, which I was exploring for geocaches. I probably wouldn’t have come here at all, but it was the second part of the “Trees of Curtin” walk from Best Bush,…
Second trail run
I went for my second trail run last night. This one was on much rockier terrain, and I ended up tweaking my right knee. I think that was related to the knee having to stabilize as I ran over uneven rocks. I’ll experiment by finding a different less awkward trail to run and seeing what…
Old Joe and Goorooyarroo
Steve, Mel, Michael and I went for a walk to Old Joe trig yesterday. I hadn’t been to Goorooyarroo at all before, and was quite impressed. The terrain is nice, with some steep bits as you get close to the border (its clear that the border follows the water catchment from a walk around here)….
How we got to test_init_instance_retries_reboot_pending_soft_became_hard
I’ve been asked some questions about a recent change to nova that I am responsible for, and I thought it would be easier to address those in this format than trying to explain what’s happening in IRC. That way whenever someone compliments me on possibly the longest unit test name ever written, I can point…
First trail run
So, now I trail run apparently. This was a test run for a hydration vest (thanks Steven Hanley for the loaner!). It was fun, but running up hills is evil.
Camp Cottermouth
I spent the weekend at a Scout camp at Camp Cottermouth. The light on the hills here in the mornings is magic.
Exploring for a navex
I feel like I need more detailed maps of Mount Stranger than I currently have in order to layout a possible navex. I there spent a little time this afternoon wandering down the fire trail to mark all the gates in the fence. I need to do a little more of this before its ready…
On running
I’ve been running for a little while now, but I don’t mention it here much. I think I mostly don’t mention it because I normally just post photos here, and I don’t tend to stop and take happy snaps on my runs. The runs started off pretty modest — initially I struggled with shin splints…
CBC Navigation Course
So today was the day long map and compass class with the Canberra Bushwalking Club. I liked this walk a lot. It was a good length at about 15km, and included a few things I’d wanted to do for a while like wander around McQuoids Hill and the northern crest of Urambi hills. Some nice…
Lost and alone in the dark
I’ve been doing the Canberra Bush Walking Club navigation course for the last couple of weeks, and last night’s exercise was a night time dead reckoning navigation session. The course is really good by the way and I’ve been enjoying it a lot. It should be pointed out that I also wasn’t lost, or alone,…
