not so used to that
And so 5 days of work come to a close.
For many that is no new thing - but for me it's been almost two years since I did a full weeks work - usually I get some lecture days and half days or even full days off during my week. But this holiday we decided to upgrade servers and change our ip address range. Big but, I was thinking, simple tasks that would end up taking all week. We are not yet finished. Our servers have not been behaving themselves - although this afternoon it was our switches that were not being well behaved. *sigh* So although I am looking forward to the weekend - including Monday - the Monday off is frustrating cos it means one less day next when we can go into work. Granted we can do stuff remotely. In other news I have essay, sermon work to get done during this holidays too - i.e. next week. It's a very quiet bollege this weekend - what with The Stump being on and everything - quite frankly they can have it!! I have been thinking about a bunch of large thought posts I would love to post - but time has just not been there and when it has been relaxing has been the focus not posting rants on the interweb. However, right now, I am looking forward to finding mattya and heading up to the ranch to have a beer. |

building servers and changing IP
This week we build new servers and change the network settings at work [new address range gives us 1024 numbers - yay]. Things have not been going as well as they should be though - with the Apple hardware RAID not working as smoothly as you would hope. Unusual. Dissapointing.
But anyway - I had a shot yesterday afternoon and, as is often the case in IT, just cos someone else had a shot it decided to work. Strange cos I am sure I did nothing different. And considering we are about to put all our most important data onto this system not very reassuring. Anyway today was a bit of a slow day - although progress was made - hopefully tomorrow we will get much more done. I did some work on the database - catching up on some ideas that people had during the year but never got to due to the important and urgent taking precedent. I won't be able to empty my queue but I might be able to get it down pretty low - even less than 10 would be cool. More work tomorrow. Will try and get an early night tonight. |

no lipstick = no difference?
The Sydney Morning Herald has an interesting opinion piece about Malcolm Turnbull [READ ] "As of now the Liberal Party is not a political movement or a political philosophy but, apart from a band of idealists, a collective of opportunists masquerading as a cause. The deeper you go, the less you find."
I was commenting to a mate of mine the other day that we are in a very strange political times - Turnbull is very Labor in his demeanor and story - reminds me of Paul Keating just without the class. Rudd on the other hand is a very Liberal man - from policies to demeanor - except that he isn't complete useless nor completely disinterested social welfare issues [not completely disinterested]. Strange times. |
