Back from Holidays!

Posted on by

Well, Trang and I are back from Port Douglas – what a lovely holiday it was, except for the rain caused by stupid Tropical Cyclone Ingrid. Still, at least we didn’t get evacuated, we got lots of relaxing-by-the-pool time, and we got to see both the Daintree rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Bit of a bummer that it was raining for both our tours, but it was still really cool. And verrrry relaxing.

Star Wars Episode III trailer is finally out – looks interesting, but not enough to make me excited enoguh to queue up for hours again. After the twin blows of Episodes 1 and 2, I don’t even know if I’ll be going on the first day – I might wait for later…

Scary week, but good news!

Well, it has been a horrendously busy week at work:

  • Monday: The aircon breaks down in the comms room and fries our PABX. Which means no phones, all day. Which means big trouble at a company that deals with the sharemarket. Fixed eventually, but not until after a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.
  • Tuesday: Two visitors from the Helpdesk in Adelaide. Had heaps to show them, and was flat chat all day organising meetings and so on.
  • Wednesday: The Board were in the Sydney Office for a board meeting. This meant waiting around with catlike readiness on the off chance that one of them might want to do something computer related. While waiting, I took one of the Helpdesk people and installed remote management on 25 PCs, at about a half an hour each. Luckily you can do concurrent installs.

But the good news is, Trang and I are going to Port Douglas for a week next week! Excitement, he wrote! All organised and booked in a two hour period yesterday. It’s going to be great!

In site stuff, I’ve added back the PDFs of essays from uni. Standard legal stuff applies – if I find someone claiming credit for my stuff, I chew their kneecaps off. :)
