vacation

9 08 2008

I am just finishing a 2 week vacation, and it seems like i will need a 2 week vacation to recover from it!

 I spent the majority of the time trying to do the house up. it is a mammoth task and wasnt helped by tradespersons who turned up late or asked the other project be bought forward to make their job easier.

You remember the film ‘revenge of the nerds?’ well I am calling bullshit on it. half a dozen scrawny nerdlings completely renovate a house with a robot to a cheesy 1980s track called one foot in front of the other. I am a nerdy guy and after 2 weeks of bashing holes in walls, standing up to my knees in paper and plaster and spending hours trying to get bits of brick out of my eyes the house isnt all done up. they did it in like 2 minutes and thats with takashii getting stoned and falling over!!!

One good thing about this vacation is today I am going to try and get a desktop PC today, this laptop I have had for the last 4 years has been a most faithful companion, and has traveled the world with me, losing a number 1 key a long the way. It is a little battle scarred but I still love it.

However, a lot of the things I want to do with software; in terms of using it and developing it are a little beyond it. So rejoice little laptop, here is a gold watch and welcome to part time service on the render farm and maintiaining this blog

 Also, my brother got married last week YAY!!!

i was best man and I hope he liked the speech, I had my hair cut off especially for the event. Its been a bit strange, for the last week I have been trying to pull non-existant hair out of the nack of a t shirt when i put it on, the sacrifices we make for those we love eh ?
