This morning I awoke, later than usual, and so happy nothing could upset me. I went to the plenaries and had a silly and permanently affixed grin on my face, so much so that some of the girls in the organising team commented that I was looking like I was the happiest person on the…
Tuesday morning started with me very upset. I phoned Ally and had a chat, she suggested it might be the change in medication and that I should make a point of seeing the doctor as soon as I got back home. I agreed, but was a little more skeptical as I knew the events of…
This has to have been my worst day so far, in fact I’d even suggest that it was my worst day in ten years. The day started as sullen as I had a slight headache (read: hangover) and I was still feeling upset over the conversation in the bar the previous night, and the fact…
Today was the first day of AusCERT 2008, and as usual brought plenty of surprises for many. The conference welcome drinks started at 6pm, I arrived fashionably late (as usual) and there began the surprises, both for me and for others. It was nice that Claire had advised the conference organisers that I would be…
Today was a beautiful day for diving, and I had lots of fun with the Nautilus SCUBA Centre diving on Flinders Reef at the North of Moreton Island. Diving started early in the morning with a 6am start for a 6:45am departure from the Nautilus SCUBA Centre shop. The diving was pretty uneventful, however a…
Is not shopping the favourite hobby and pass time of any girl? Brisbane can be fun to explore, but so can running around your old stomping ground visiting the shops you know are there, and to that end it wasn’t long before I had a complete new outfit and some extras from the Mount Ommaney…
Today was an interesting day, a trip to Brisbane city returned dividends in the way of a SCSI card for one of my machines, this time I was a little more careful and so took the train, which was a lot cheaper as an option. The afternoon brought a broken nail when installing it, I’m…
Today was the day for having some fun, so I messed around a bit in the morning, and then returned to The University of Queensland just before lunch, to have lunch. On the way through the building though I bumped into Claire, you know I do love Claire, she’s such a fun loving, lovely person,…
Well today was pretty much a blur, it started in Brisbane City along with a 90 minute $28.00 parking permit (that’s more expensive than London City!) and finished at Chris'(1) place eating Indian and having a good chat about lots of things. In the middle was a session at Helga’s House of Pain, aka getting…
Well today was a day of surprises, for others as well as me. I visited my old stomping ground, The University of Queensland, and told a few former colleagues. Chris(2), my last boss there, was surprised that it was me saying it, but was very curious and interested in the whole aspect. Wilber, was surprised,…
Well over the last couple of days I have been driving to Queensland (it’s a 1000km and 12-15 hours, so yes a couple of days). Food hasn’t been good so I’m sure that I will have put on weight, it’s such a shame that the only food available on a journey seems to be fast…
Adam, a colleague and a friend, his reaction to reading this blog was to smile, occasionally chuckle and nod. After he finished reading, he turned to me an said, “Uh huh. I wouldn’t have picked it either.” That has to be one of the most non-eventful reactions to date, and too be honest, was nice….
