remove one "2-bit ISP" point
Work's nameserving capabilities have always been a fine balance of hope and dodgy services, but that's all about to change. With their new interest in zero-work-high-profit services, it has become necessary to make sure the nameservers are stable and sane. I have completed a spreadsheet of details about all the zones we host, their registrars and the keys for them. I found that I'm only missing 4 keys... so it's actually not as bad as I thought.
Once everything gets into place, I can start transferring them onto a new nameserver, with secondary hosting provided by a dedicated provider, probably Goldwell in the UK.
All in all, this makes us more into a high-tech, professional services, IT company... and less of a two-bit ISP.

Tux abuse
Driving down Mounts Bay Rd (which runs along Matilda Bay between Crawley and the city) I saw a small van emblazoned "Arctic Couriers". The thing about this van that caught my eye, was all the penguins painted on it. Each of these penguins had a name it would seem. One of the penguins on the back was the infamous Tux, of Linux fame. Only his name was now something beginning with B, I think it was Bernadette. My heart goes out to poor Tux, who has been given involuntary gender issues, just because some artist obviously ran a google-image-search for penguins.

While the cat's away...
So Stephanie is currently in Melbourne, researching for her thesis. She is also getting attacked by her best friend's cats. I'm still stuck here, and have now realised how incredibly boring my life actually is. I mean, I honestly don't do anything! Having no one to talk to, and no TV makes things very quiet.

To make up for it, I have been watching things on my laptop. I watched Back to the Future, Part III and the third season of Black Books.

Bunbury
I intimated at some point that I had to go to Bunbury this week. In the end, it got called off due to a chain reaction of really crappy events, non of which were my fault. However now, I get to look forward to going on Monday instead. I can't help but feel this is going to be an absolute riot... not!

UCC Love Day
To borrow an idea from GNOME, the UCC is having a Love Day in order to finish up the Fresher's Guide and the new website. Also to give the room a bit of a tidy, because it's really quite messy again (how does this keep happening).

Again, I've had a whole heap of stuff to write about, and again I've forgotten it. I really should take notes, or something.
