Theres this one gang, that keeps wanting me to join because of my Bo Staff skills.

So it was an odd but yet productive weekend. Joshua, THD, and I managed to
do some interesting things with Koha.. well Joshua and THD did most of the
work, I cheered them along. I’ll do a bit of a post about what got done
later on, or you can read all about it in the mailing list archives.
Plus as you can probably tell by the tagline, I watched Napolean Dynamite
again. Oh and all the NZ teams won in the super 14.

We don’t have a prize for you, because you didn’t win, sorry.

Another week, another big pile of work to deal with, its better than being
bored though, and it is interesting work.
Telstraclear seem to have fixed whatever the problem was with their router
talking to Motorola 5100 cable modems. So it appears I have a stable net
connection again, which is all good.

Nothing but problems

So the last few days, my cable modem has decided to just stop working for
periods of time. Apparently its a known issue and TelstraClear are working
on it. In the meantime, they have resolved another issue, and now want to
charge me an extra $30 on this months bill, since they forgot to charge me
rental on the cable modem for the last three months.
Which is now about as reliable as a piece of wet string.
And another thing ive been ‘renting’ this cable modem for years now. Which
would be fine if it was my choice .. but no, you cant buy a cable modem, you
have to rent it. If there was any viable broadband in my area, theyd be
goneburger in about 10 seconds.

Island Bay Festival

Well the Island Bay festival has started again, yesterday was the fair and
parade, followed up by bands in the park. Today is beach day which should be
fun too. Ive got to do a little work today but I might go down to watch the
under 10 horsepower boat race, that should be funny.

UPDATE 2006/02/13: Hula Laguna

So I ended up going to the Hula Laguna instead. It was awesome tons of
people and Fat Freddy’s drop were rocking. People were swimming in the
lagoon, and dancing on every available flat surface.
