The old Athlon XP 2500+ died last week, so it was time for an upgrade anyway. The old beast hadn’t been upgraded for a while. It did have a new monitor, keyboard and hard-drives, but it was getting slow. The case was cheap in 2002 so probably the whole thing was running a little hot. [...] The solar people finally got around to installing the panels on the roof! The original install date was meant to be in January 2009; they were installed on 29 May, and we are still waiting for the solar hot water to be installed. The company is not very good at giving reliable timeframes for installation [...] Taking a day off work for the plumber to come around to install our new toilet after the old one cracked and became loose. I don’t get a lot of time by myself these days so it’s good to just chill out around the house. However, I need to go out today and buy some [...] More planning for our upcoming Japan trip. To those who don’t know the Wife and I are going to go to Japan for two weeks near the end of March. My sister is currently teaching English there so it will be a good opportunity to have someone “on the inside” as it were. A few [...] I’ve finally gotten around to doing some stuff to this blog.

I’ll be [...] I have found the best pizza: from Oxenford near Movie World on the Gold Coast. We have it every fortnight. Mmmm! I was mostly unaffected, except having no mobile phone reception for the entire morning. My work internet and phones are through other companies and we didn’t notice anything. The Boss was out of the office and his mobile is through Three so we couldn’t call him. No great loss. The housemate also once called to [...] I often can’t sleep. It can take me hours to get to sleep at night, even actively trying to think of “nothing” or the usual tricks like counting sheep. If I’m woken up I often can’t fall asleep again easily. Which is why I’m up at 5am. I was awoken by the puppy’s alarm. She [...] |
