I went to bed just after 5am.

I got woken up about 10.20am, my brother knocking on the door. "Dad says can you get online".

Hmm, I looked, modem was still connected to my backup dialup account.

I still had webpages, but my email didn't work. Thunderbird had just gone stupid, and by changing folders it started working again. I vnc'd into Dad's machine, and checked the settings.. should work, yep, it does. What the problem?

His mail didn't work though, an issue the router introduces when it doesn't have the firewall rules entered properly. I remember this had something to do with an ipfwadm command with -Wppp0 on it, instead of -Weth0.

I googled around, found a command for masquerading with ppp, looks like it'll work. I typed it in, went to test the mail, but Dad or someone is using the other computer now, so I left it.

I was going to go back to bed after I got this fixed, now I won't, I'm too concious.

I checked my mail, started trashing the spam.

My mobile rang, it's my mate I'm going to work with tomorrow.. no, I'm not, on Tuesday now he tells me. No worries. I told him I was intending to go and see him (I was going to go and see him on the way back from my mate's place where I put the roofing up yesterday, but I forgot to take my crimping tool and rj45s with me, which was the main reason I was going there).

I was going to do something on Tuesday.. what was it? Oh, that's right, I was going to install this PC I bought yesterday at my mate's place on Tuesday.

Maybe I'll pull my finger out, get it setup, and go and put it in tomorrow.

OK, good, I don't need to go and send the temping fax back today, I can do it tomorrow.

Now, today, I need to go and visit my mate, and drop his helmet back, and go and see my other mate, and work out the details of going to work with him on Tuesday, and have a go at fixing a network link between him and next door.

Middady. I have a headache.
