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.
NZ vs World XI
Yay, we get some cricket. On the 24th of January a world selection is
playing NZ in cricket in Wellington. Needless to say I’ll be going, plus
quite a big group so it should be a lot of fun.
Blasts from the past
We had dinner at Jeremy and Nicola’s house last week, and Jeremy gave us a
pile of tapes to listen to. Bomb the bass, Supergrass, Faith No More, Carter
USM .. its like being back at university again.
The Steelers make the Playoffs
Heading into the playoffs on a 14 game winning streak, they have to be
feeling confident that this is their year. The play the Jets in Pittsburgh
this weekend, that game will be huge. I’m sure Tom will be organising a
place to watch the game already.
World of Warcraft
Between this and ‘Battle for middle earth’ the PC has been getting a real
work out over the holidays. Both are a ton of fun, but you can easily lose a
few hours playing them, or indeed an entire day.
The Incredibles
If you want to giggle, go see this. Its pure nonsense of the very best kind,
a good way to wile away 2ish hours on a rainy day.
