I woke up, and was just lying on the sofa bed.

The senior DBA's phone rang, he'd left it in the loungeroom, I didn't answer it.

The door bell rang, so I got up, and went and answered the door. It was the little guy from work.

He came in, and hung around for a while. I went and had a shower, and some breakfast.

I got a lift with the little guy to work, and the senior DBA stayed in the house.

I setup my laptop at work, and I mucked around with xscreensaver a bit.

I configured the webcollage screensaver, and after about 10 images through, it came up with this one.

Hmm, I can do without that going on at work, so I disabled that screensaver again.

I worked on the files I'm writing for a while.

I sent an email to the guy at NetBro, and asked about USB hard drives. He stocks them, so I ended up ordering a Linksys NSLU2, a Linksys WRT54G, the external USB drive caddy and drive.

It came to $500 all up. I went out to lunch, and saw a few people from work.

I went to the ATM, and I pulled out $800, to pay for the stuff I'd ordered.

I got some lunch, and sat and ate, and chatted with the people from work. I went to the bank on the way back to the office, and I deposited the money for the stuff I'd ordered, $500 worth.

I went back to work, and continued coding. I remembered about the registered mail I'd arranged to get forwarded to Maitland. Bugger.

I left work, and I walked all the way down to the post office.

I collected the registered mail, and opened it as I walked back to work, I found that it was the concert tickets I'd booked a few days ago, to go and see the Finn Brothers.

I sent a message to Mum, and let her know what the mail was.

On the way back to work, I went into Harvey Norman across the road from work, and I bought the bed I looked at yesterday.

I arranged to get it delivered, but this meant it would come tomorrow, meaning another night sleeping on the sofabed. Ugh.

I asked them to let me know about 1/2 hour before it would be delivered, so I could be there to let the delivery guys in.

I went back to work, and I sat and cleaned up the data in the database I'm working on.

I added in support for some "WordPro" files that are in the dataset. Someone's put the description of them as "wordpad" files, so I had to sort that out.

I added in some code to detect WordPro files, but I couldn't get it to work, there was something suspect going on.

I got an email back from eksys, the guy wanted to know if I wanted an X-factor network card, instead of a Turbonet card, since they're cheaper, and also how I wanted the stuff sent, I sent an email back, saying the cheaper card would be fine, and wanting clarification if the prices were Aussie dollars, or US dollars.

I continued working, while I waited for the reply, I looked for the problem I was having with the new code.

I eventually found it, I was working in a switch/case, and I'd missed adding in the break, so it was falling through into the next case, and bollocksing up the variable values.

As soon as I found that, and fixed it, I decided to leave. Before I could do so, the senior DBA called me, and said that he wanted to go to McDonalds to get something to eat, so I said I'd go too, and he said he'd come and pick me up.

I started packing up my stuff, and then the indexer's manager asked me if I'd got my timesheets/invoice sorted out yet.

I said I hadn't, because I had to put in timesheets for the rest of the financial year first, and have them sent the invoice back.

I told him I'd get it sorted in the morning, and get my invoice in.

I put my stinky jumper on, I grabbed my laptop bag, and went outside to wait, the senior DBA got there just as I got there to wait.

I got in the car, and we drove to McDonalds. We sat and ate, and then drove back to the house again.

I sat around watching tv for a while, and then I went and put the shower head on that I bought, it should be a bit better.

I sat and did some blogging, and we watched tv.

I went and made a cup of coffee, the soy milk had gone a bit rough, understandable, since it's been in the fridge for a week and a half, so I just had a black coffee instead.

The tivo hadn't been changing the channels for some reason, so had recorded all the wrong things. I mucked around, and found it was something to do with the ir emitter, it wasn't changing the channel at all, but the other one did, so hopefully that fixed it.

I sat and watched some tv, stuff that tivo had recorded from the wrong channels.

The senior DBA went to bed, I watched some of tivo suggestions, "the complete cosmos". I tried to setup a season pass for this show, but it didn't show up in the guide. Maybe there's no more episodes in the guide data I've got.

I downloaded the new data today, but I couldn't be bothered to setup the serial link, and manually load the data, just for one day. I'll wait, and do it all again on Monday night I think.

I went to sleep.
