YetiBe's Main Page

This is YetiBe’s main page. Here you’ll find a brief summary of me, links to my wiki pages, or those I find interesting and the odd bit of inane banter that I didn’t want to put into my blog. Please feel free to comment away.

First an introduction:

25/10/2004

YetiBe is Bevan Timm. I was a ClawMember? for three and a half years from mid 1999 to the end of 2002. During this time I studied Electrical Engineering and as is evident by the dates managed to get through in the minimum time and did not succumb completely to the lure of the claw room.

At the moment I am an Engineer In Training (EIT) on Finsch Mine about 160km the wrong side of Kimberley in the Northern Cape. I define the wrong side of Kimberley as the side furthest from Joburg, Pretoria, Durban and Bloem… i.e. where my parents live and where Kim, my girlfriend and fellow ClawMember?, has lived over the past year and a some since we started working. In case anyone is interested, yes we do have Geologists and Technicians In Training.

I am currently in the process of convincing myself to start studying for an exam known as the GCC that I will write next year June. I have been trying to do this since the beginning of last year without much success but the time is drawing near and I am started to stress. For those not familiar with the exam it is divided into two parts, plant and law… and it is scary. The exam has been running for 50 years and there are only 3000 odd people who have passed it. I don’t know how many have attempted but last November it had a pass rate of only 3%!

I have just got back to LA – Lime Acres, don’t get excited - and am going to get my phone reconnected so I should be making the occasional appearance on #claws in the near future.

Erm, I've just noticed that this page was 'created by SynKronos' I am assuming that means he moved it over to the new format... for which I am grateful.

Now here's the question, how do I claim it back? :-D

• that just means he was the last person to edit it before the transfer from ))PhpWiki?to TikiWiki?(( -- I added a link to your blog at the top - we haven't figured out how to make these links NaN? - d@vid October 22 2004
• like this: (unless this isn't what you mean) YetiBe's Blog. - moonflake
• yeah, but using a shortcut rather than a full URI - I've added it to Suggestions - d@vid Oct 23 (p.s. bevan, you can delete all this crap if you want ;)
• thanks but I meant more specifically how do I make it apear under my 'user pages'. Chances are that it will have to be deleted and recreated... but I'm not sure if deleting is possible. - YetiBe
• Mw4h4hh4, 1 h4v3 0wnzz0red j00r p4g3!!11one! ph33r m3! - 5ynKr0n05
• lol @ jason - I think the ))MyTiki?pages are those where you are the last modificator (official TikiWiki?(( terminilogy), not creator (since I created no pages with this username) - so I'm editing this page to see if that's true... - d@vid Oct 25 2004
  • ...appears not, although maybe there's an update delay - try editing this page (and having no-one else edit it and instead leave comments, since that's what they're there for ) and seeing if it appears on your list tomorrow - otherwise the CLAWnet peeps may be digging into the database at some point - d@vid 13h00
• It appears that ownership comes from the last person who edited it on the php version as you said. I have a couple of very odd things under my list. Oh and thanks for that Jason, you do indeed own my 'p4g3' :)
