Yesterday was the third day in a row that work really got to me. Happily, today is Friday so there is some respite within reach. Bring on the weekend!I worked late last night, getting home at 9pm. I don’t like working late as a general rule, since I believe that… Read More
The server was down for a few hours due to a dead power supply.During the cold day yesterday there was apparently a power failure at the house and the power supply for the main firewall didn’t start up again. I’ve cannibalised one from another server, so we’re back in business… Read More
I’ve finally worked out how to reclaim my time of an evening, and may well completely reschedule my days to keep it happening.It has a great deal to do with getting enough sleep. This morning, I overslept because I forgot to set my alarm. It was all of 30 minutes,… Read More
Today’s post comes to you from the comfort of the couch in my loungeroom, courtesy of a working wifi connection.I realise I’m late to the party with the whole wifi thing, but it really is kinda cool. For instance, when your head is completely clogged with infected bodily fluids, you… Read More

It would appear that Sherbet has now acclimatised to her new surroundings, since she’s now happy to explore the whole house, provided I leave the doors open. There’s an endless array of fascinating odds and ends; boxes, beanbags, cupboards, the list is endless! So many sources of joy and excitement… Read More
