Comment out this line:
$returnstring .= ( $EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] ) ? ‘ (’ . $start_time . ( ($EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] == 3 || $no_end_specified) ? ” : ‘ - ‘ . $end_time ) . ‘)’ : ”;
Replace it with:
]]>if( $EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] )
{
if( $start_time != EXTCAL_TEXT_ALL_DAY )
{
$returnstring .= ‘ (’ . $start_time . ( ($EXTCAL_CONFIG['show_times'] == 3 || $no_end_specified) ? ” : ‘ - ‘ . $end_time ) . ‘)’;

me: “please do this specific thing to twenty domains.”
them: “ok, like this?”
me: “no, do it how I asked!”
them: “oh dear, we need someone smarter… I’ll send the request somewhere else”
[ 24 hours goes past ]
me: “hello?”
them: “sorry, ok, done”
me: “but you didn’t do it, and I had to create a new ticket to ask you to do it again, properly!”
them: “ok, done… I checked two.”
me: “… out of twenty? I’ll do it myself. DO NOT BREAK ANYTHING ELSE”
This may be slightly paraphrased, but it’s taken three days to go backwards on where I was at the start, and realise I should have just done it myself the first time.

I’ve been considering storage solutions for on my bike - ventura racks and bags and so forth. As a small, portable solution I’ve been looking at a magnetic tank bag as they’re removable and relatively cheap (not to mention easy to get, since they’re not model-specific) and allow me to use my gps and or see my phone while riding.
I went down to Springwood Suzuki and was reccommended the Oxford brand, and I agreed - purchasing one of these. Well, borysSNORC did anyway
It’s got loads of pockets, big magnets to hold it on, can zip into a backback and has a zip-off bum bag on the right there. Pretty good quality, that’s for sure.
]]>A couple of days ago I adjusted the throttle free-play, something that’d been plaguing me since I got the bike. It had about 1/8th of a turn of play :S
I also plastic-welded the fairings back together, which made me happy in my pants to see the bike not rattling and ripping itself apart…
Today’s work included a replacement of the oil filter and the oil in the bike. I hope to do it every six to ten thousand K’s with the oil I’m using and the bike that I have. I chose to use Motul 5100 semi-synth as it’s under sixty bucks for four litres and has good reviews on a few sites. The oil filter was easy to get - a Ryco Z411 from SuperCheap Auto for a massive twelve dollars.
The job wasn’t hard to do - I’m getting good at taking the lower fairings off
Once I worked out how to take the oil cooler off without having to replace the seals on the hoses, I dropped the oil and got the filter off. I was worried if the filter would fit, as I’d read only found a vague reference to a non-standard one on a forum posting. Uh, it did, huzzah. If you want a cheap and good ZZR600 oil filter, get a Z411. I’m thinking I might try to find a highflow one later, and will take a look at things when I can. Until then, the filter designed for a much larger motor should be fine
The rest of the job was pretty easy, topping up the oil and making sure I didn’t get it all over the place. 3.6lt of oil later, and the job was done ![]()
Being 6′9″ tall with size fifteen-ish shoes makes it interesting to buy shoes at the best of times. It’s basically “what have you got? I’ll take it!” for dress shoes and joggers it’s “what do you have that’s not a basketball shoe? I’ll take it!”
Searching for motorcycle gear’s been a challenge, because it’s specialised and they don’t sell that much. I’ve found three pairs of boots that fit, and only two that fit comfortably without plans to take them to a bootmaker. Both of them are made by RJays and the ones I bought todays are their “Edge” model in a UK size 48.
I got ‘em from Springwood Suzuki for the sum of $229 or so. Don’t ask me to be specific because I’m too lazy to go find the receipt. It’s a good price, since the Sidi’s that didn’t fit me (too skinny, those girly Italian feet) were at least twice the price. But they had more shiny bits and toe vents and things. Eww. Give me boots that protect me from going smoosh, and don’t fall apart. Thanks.
I also found some leather pants that fit me, but that’s a post for tomorrow or something.

So, my bike’s in the shop and I have a morning off from work. A friend offers me a ride of his spare bike, and the opportunity to be led through the twisties heading up to the Maiala Rainforest Teahouse at Mount Nebo/Glorious. Who could say no? Not me!
I’ll admit it, I was shitting myself. On someone else’s much lighter and more responsive bike, tooling through the hills and trying to not look like a complete grandma - which I failed at, but am cool with that)
It was a great couple of hours of riding with a break for coffee and a toasted bacon and egg sammich. I got to see how my practice held up against some real roads instead of the lots-of-straights-and-suburbia I’d been riding around. Not to mention I finally met snail/rasp/David, which only took about a year or two.

This is a good way of doing this, since it then tells the web browser “You’re not allowed in here” rather than having to create blank files to hide your directories ![]()
I inserted the wp_categories table from my backups and then ran the sql query I found here:
]]>update wp_term_taxonomy, wp_categories set description = cat_name where term_id = cat_ID;
update wp_terms, wp_categories set name = cat_name, slug = category_nicename where term_id = cat_ID;
