World of Warcraft

So I play this usually for an hour or 2 each weeknight, and a bit more in
the weekend. If you ever want to find me on it, I play on the Windrunner
server with a character called Amaegwynn, and on Malygos with one called
Ranginui. Well most of the time anyway, so If you have World of Warcraft say
hi next time you are on one of those servers.

Skype

Laurel bought a microphone to record some stuff for her art. So I finally
decided to try skype out, after being told by lots of people that it was
really cool. And the conclusion … it is really cool. Ive only made a
couple of calls with it, but it worked a treat both times, commendably clear
and commendably simple, its going to be getting more use.

Gmail invites

Does anyone want a gmail invite? I have a pile to handout, drop me a mail if
you want one.

Wine swilling crotch scratcher

This is a delayed arsehat award. But it goes to the man who was sitting next
to me on the flight from Sydney back to Wellington. All he did the whole
flight was scull sauvignon blanc and scratch his crotch. It completely put
me off my dinner, and those of you who know me will know this is no mean
feat.

Back from Oz

Well back to the only slightly cooler Wellington, with a lightly sunburnt
neck. Sydney was fun, but I’m glad to be back home again with Laurel and the
pets.

Information Online Conference 2005

All in all, this went pretty darn well. We had a lot of interest in Koha,
and found more people running it that we didnt know about. There were the
usual ‘I dont get it’ type responses, but they seem to be getting less each
conference. Now just to do all the follow up work and we should have a pile
of Koha installs on the go.

What a huge Weekend

Well, the madness has finally ended and I have time to update the blog
again.
The Wedding celebrations part two on saturday went really well I thought. A
huge thanks to Laurel and her little helpers who did such a great job with
the hall. And a big thanks to everyone who came along to share the day with
us.
We spent most of Sunday cleaning up, thanks Uncle Rex and Dad for giving us
a hand. That evening we had fish and chips with our friends who had come
over from Japan. It was great to have them here.
And Monday was sports day, unfortunately both the Steelers and the NZ
cricket team lost 😦 But the cricket was a fun day out anyway, even if I do
need some throat lozenges now. Roll on the Austalian tour.

Steelers vs Jets 10.30am today

The Pittsburgh Steelers play the NY Jets today on the way (hopefully) to the
superbowl. If they win this, its on to the AFC championship game, then the
superbowl. They beat them in the regular season, and I’m sure they can do it
again. Laurel and I will be watching the game on ESPN and cheering.

UPDATE 2005/01/16: Talk about tense

Man, that was way closer than it needed to be. 20-17 to the steelers in
overtime, lets hope the next game isnt that hard.

Working in a real office.

Well not your typical office I grant you, but more officey than my workroom
at home. Im doing 2 days a week in an office in town, its quite different
and will take some getting used to again. Its easy to get distracted with
lots of people around.

Funny Picture

Laurel’s dad sent her a funny picture, so here it is.
