Still haven’t rented out the spare room – starting to look quite dicey as to whether we will before the end of our contract. Never mind eh?

Stuck on work atm. Completely. A coursework to be handed in at 5pm today, another tomorrow at 5pm, and another on Friday at 5pm. And I’ve done nothing on any of them. Quite disconcerting. Ah well.

Have been trying to get “george” – my “new” SPARC IPX, to run BIND 9.1.0, which has proved to be difficult. Turns out (Mike just told me) that the problem I was having was that BIND 9.1.0 requires a default value in some of its config files, which the old version didn’t require. Hence the new version breaking.

Life is depressing.

Went to the Union on Friday night though, which was a blessing. I saw Kris, Kieran, and Brad there, along with the friends I went with initially (Pete et al.). Pete & friends left early, so I hung around for a bit chatting to Kris & Brad for a while. A most welcome chance to occupy the mind with something other than depressing thoughts.

My Grandfather(paternal side of the family) passed away last weekend, so we went to the funeral yesterday. Hope you have a good time wherever you’ve gone to, G’pa.

On a more cheerful subject, I did manage to hand in a couple of courseworks on time last week, which was good.

etc. etc. etc. I won’t bore you anymore. Someone once said “It’s all in the timing.”

And so I’ll post again
Nothing amazing going on still, but uni continues to be a lot of work.
Will be doing a 6 month placement with IBM starting in Easter – promises to be a really good job.
Um. Another Valentine’s without cards, but I’m getting used to it now
