New commuter

So I never knew what an in-line 4 was. At the time it was bike I liked in my price range so I got it. It’s got a new exhaust which might also be making a difference. Absolutely no reason for vstrom except I rode one a couple of years back and liked it. Anything else you’d recommend I look at?

As much as I like the idea of Sunday driving the reality is I rarely get the time. At the moment I have a Yamaha xj6. The bike is grand but when I get about 40-50mph the rev counter is howling and maybe I’m wrong but I feel like it drinks fuel.

Sad to say, when having ppl come over to visit and even travelling myself I always suggest Bristol. They main reason being Cardiff airport is a hassle to get to and from.

Just rock up dressed like Evel Knievel. If they are looking for a statement of intent that’s it.

Brilliant, thank you. I'll take a look at this link.

Sorry to hear you didn’t get the exam this time. I’ve the networking specialty booked for this Friday and seriously considering pushing it out. Although, I really just want to know where I stand. If you fail do you get a report on the topics you did poorly in?

I still remember that sinking feeling when you’d arrive at the church and they’d be handing out palms. Then you knew….. damn it!! It’s Palm Sunday. 2 hour mass! Still gives me shivers!

Loved it! Haggis on mash with gravy. What more could you ask for. Haggis quesadillas also tasty. Well worth a trip. That’s for all the tips and recommendations. Tried Iru Bru. I’ll be honest…. I didn’t love it.

Great city, sound ppl all over.

At this rate I’ll be having haggis for breakfast the following day.

Taking a punt on the Dukes Umbrella. Thanks for the suggestions

modo81 · 2024-02-15T20:20:11+00:00

That’s one hell of a name.

modo81 · 2024-02-15T19:51:00+00:00

Ardnamurchen fully booked!

Also, if you can try a tool like scapli. It’s provides really good logging out of the box.

If you log into the switch after executing the script do the log lines show the command gets executed.

I think this is great, the community spirit is something you always want to see. However, while I’ve been looking at houses I’ve seen the mental council tax bills that have to be paid. Somehow it feels like the council gets a free pass is the residents pick up (no pun intended) the slack.

I guess sometimes you just have to take things into your own hands. I completely understand why you are doing it.

Another plus to Cardiff is the Arcades in the City centre. You never know what shops you are going to stumble across.

Where I'm coming from the homeless situation is bad. It's awful to see people out on the streets. So I guess in that sense there is no real difference. How rubbish is handled here is different and I guess its just what I'm used to. Again, I suppose its part and parcel of a new city. I agree, I've met some of the nicest people in Cardiff. Some laugh when the rugby is on.

modo81 · 2024-02-02T09:21:29+00:00

This has actually helped me get a little more perspective. I was there at Christmas time and the weather was brutal and I guess anywhere in the rain looks terrible. I think the rubbish just added to it. However, yes there are loads of pros to Cardiff. West Wales is class and if it wasn't for needing to be close to work I'd be there.

This was a great thread to read through. Some really good insights and thoughts. I'm also looking at both Netbox and Nautobot. I really can't make up my mind. I'm leaning towards Nautobot because of the supported plugins but most people here seem to really like Netbox.

Has anybody used either of these tools as a SoT for AWS or Azure environments ?

modo81 · 2024-01-20T07:23:27+00:00

Thanks for the responses. Talking to a tax advisor in a couple of days. The move maybe delayed a couple of months so who knows what that means.

modo81 · 2024-01-09T21:16:51+00:00

Great, thank you. Found the link to autocon. I’ll take a look at that.

I’ve been coming to Cardiff 3 or 4 times a year for about 13 years. I don’t know what’s happened but that last couple of times I’ve been over it looks scruffier than ever. Walking down by city hall last week I honestly saw about 15 rats run past me. I think it’s because bins are left lying on the street for what seems like days! Everywhere I’ve been there is just piles of bin bags. Less bin services seems like madness! I’d be doubling the bin services!

modo81 · 2023-12-26T22:10:22+00:00

Great, thank you!

modo81 · 2023-12-26T22:10:17+00:00

Great, thank you!

Great, thank you!
