So much for sleeping in, I woke up at like 8.20 anyway. I went back to sleep for a while, and at about 10am, I checked my mobile phone, 4 missed calls.

As I was checking the numbers, it started silently ringing, it was my mate in the Cafe, apparently one of our network links has failed, can I fix it etc.

He wanted the key to get into our equipment in Sydney, and we had to work out how to sort that out, I think it's a waste of time. If the wireless bridge is down, we won't be able to get on the roof, and the config is on a laptop lockied in a shop, and i don't know the ip address/username/password for the equipment anyway.

So after several calls I arrange to drop that off, so I eat my breakfast, get dressed, jump on my bike, and head to the freeway.

I gave the keys to my mate, and then took off.

I didn't want to just come home again, so I took the windy old way to Woy Woy, and then I came back the normal way.

I dropped in and saw a mate on the way back, he called me on the Saturday before the accident to get a quote on a new computer, I hadn't forgotten, but I hadn't had time. I told him what was going on, and told him I would get the quote sorted out.

I came home, on the way, I stopped in to buy some alcohol, the shop was too expensive, so I just got some Coke, and decided to get some grog around the corner from my house where it's cheaper.

I got home, and I'm now updating my blog.

I don't know what I'll do now. I really should try to get a working mpeg solution and start archiving the Tivo before it fills up.
