Crazy old guy at Uni

..

Where exactly do you mean, Ste[ph|v]en?

That won't work. The unescaped pipe symbol will try to pass Step and Steh to the (non existent ) executable v]en. If it did work (trying to use | as logical OR) it would resolve to Stephen and Stepven, which is not what you want.

In the bash shell, Ste{ph,v}en will work.

perhaps next time a scooter takes up a good sopt you should just pick it up and move it? i know i moved scooters out of my way when i used to park in the bike parking - idiots parked so far apart the parking gets full, but too close for me to fit. trust me they aren't heavy


oh, and i reckon a truck crawling down symonds st with 2 big guys loading scooters in it would be full and gone within 3 minutes.

james will be here with it soon no doubt

I'm still trying to find a good :bling: emoticon.



edit:

so im more than just the sexiest biker at uni then eh?

have you seen the 08 cbr thou.....you'd need like jessica alba, the hot australian blond from transformers, megan fox (the reason nobody noticed the hot blond australian in transformers), denise richards, jennifer aniston (from back when she was hot), heather graham (from austin powers 2), that chick i see down at the uni gym all the time and like every super model in the world surrounding it to make it look good.....

im disappointed........

and nice blazed emoticons james look much better than the 08 cbr1000.....

The 08 Fireblade is getting better after initially seeing it for the first time. It is still a bike that you will grow to like....and it is way better looking than James

i dunno i hear james is quite the ladies man

hehe oh and speaking of shit looking bikes check out the 08 gixxer600...didnt think it was possible but it looks worse than the cbr1000

just when you think honda hired a blind fulla to draw up the new cbr, suzuki went and hired themself a blind fulla with no arms!!!

thanks suzuki

Hi James, think you can help me in giving some tips ....

Thanks for the diagram Squiggles... Helpful for those of us in exile on the 'other side' of Waterloo Quad to see what you're all talking about.

A little diplomacy would go along way - it strikes me that parking in the nooks and crannies around university is quasi-acceptable at best, and the quickest way to make it outlawed is to wear out our welcome - no matter what me may think about the rights and wrongs of the situation.

On the plus side - if numerous bikes scatted hither and yon all over campus does bring two-wheeled parking to the attention of those in their ivory towers in registry, at least we have a chance to meaningfully point out that the well-intentioned changes to bike parking round university are not working in their current form, and that changes are needed.

My 2cents...

(On a side note - scooters have crept in to the staff parking area at Law School...along with a lecturer's R1. If I ask *really* nicely...maybe they'll let me sneak my bike in there too)

You guys have a problem and really need a sound lasting solution, the old guy is merely a symptom of the wider problem.

You are tomorrows leaders, here is an opportunity to hone up your leadership skills and solve your own problems amicably.

Good luck, this country desperately needs leaders and young people are the only source for the future. Cheers John.

one of the guys we know is working on opening up alfred st for bike parking again....he's putting together a document that outlines the problems we have been having and stuff...

we'll post it up when we know more but he's is basically looking for a few bikers to go along with him when he makes his case, just to add some validity and credibility to the argument.

i know im definately gonna go (provided im in the city/country) and i know many others who are keen so hopefully that will be the long-run solution....till then im gonna try and not run over any peds and will continue to park my bike near the lockers for safety reasons

EDIT: just cant seem to emphasise enough how MUNTER-ish peds are!!! god gave you eyes and a brain for a reason you dum fuckers!!! sad thing is that the people who gave me this attitude toward peds don't represent the population but now everytime i see a ped near the road edge i think "munter" and get ready to brake.....fucking munters

[klyong82]

you are so mean kim

WHoops did not mean that. You are special in your own way.....the CBR is special in many biking way

Uh oh spaghettio: I think you meant "read your above post", not "you above post". Punctuation and grammar, what a bitch eh...?!

I do agree though that the writing skills of many UOA students' is pretty shocking, (2 years of tutoring at the place). And I am not perfect either: Did I get the apostrophe in the right place?

Bastid!

It wasn't meant to be YOU that picked that up.


But well done anyway.
