Symphonious

For those who are interested in science fiction, particularly the home-brew, long-tail kind, you probably want to check out the premiere of Redemption 101. It's an added bonus if you are looking for an opportunity to poke fun at me - I feature as Klang the less than brilliant Aldaran pilot.

The premiere will be at the Schonell Theatre, St Lucia on March 24th. Drinks in the foyer start at 6:30 with the red carpet parade at 7pm. Tickets are $14 ($7 concession) and you can order them online from the Redemption 101 website (contact details for offline orders are there too). You can also preorder your copy of the DVD which will be released at the premiere. 

Klang and The Bishop kick back at the local bar after a long night shooting.

If you happen to be running a VMWare Server instance on a machine with multiple network cards, make sure that when you upgrade you reconfigure which network cards your VMs should use, otherwise you may find that despite the fact that the network interface in the VM is up you have no network access. It usually reports "No route to host" or "Destination Host Unreachable". Sadly, VMWare doesn't seem to be too bright about how it picks network interfaces and will sometimes pick one that isn't connected to anything.

Oh well, it's only the second time I've wasted hours to discover this. Hopefully the next time I run into this problem, this entry will turn up in Google and remind me of why.
