This morning at 4am a member of the public called in. This is fairly usual (as it is my job and all), and I'm as courteous as you might expect me to be. The conversation goes along the lines of...

NZwired is looking like it could actually produce something of interest, which is good. If you are in NZ, think you might in any way be interested in joining this - perhaps even as a bridge (ethernet to wireless, wireless...

About to leave work. Not a bad night. I'll write later....

Moo. That is probably all I have to say about that. I shall now procede to insult every person in school in alphabetical order. Or just Disney. Pixar have seen the light. Or at least will do after The Incredibles...

Apparantly 35 people don't think I'm quite insane enough to purge me from their LJ friends list. I'm super impressed! (That may have something to do with it being 4am, but that is irrelevant) Farmbake cookies with lollies are tasty,...

Somehow I have made it through another night without actually reaching out and killing anybody. This is hard, but I have made it. This is probably somewhat thanks to the wonder that is Milo, and all it's chocolately sugary goodness....

I had this great entry that I was working on, that might have even started to rival one of Damo-K's. However, Internet Explorer decided that when I tried to scroll on the DOC's homepage it would crash, and in doing...

Friday is a day I once cherished, a day I spent all week looking forward to. Even during School holidays, for some strange reason, Fridays still had this great pull. Now Friday is almost (but not quite as it really...

Or do other people hate people who when complaing about bass feel the need to go "boom boom boom"? I know what bass sounds like. I don't know why but tonight it is just getting on my nerves....

I had an email needing a stats report by yesterday, and I launched a webbrowser, hit in http://localhost/~patrick/lr/ - thinking I'd get a boring folder listing so I could pick msreport.php. But no, it appears I actually did some work...

Good god it's ridiculously early. (7:39am), and I've been asleep. /> I'm working 9-5 today. I feel so, grown up. but I don't want to take my jacket, but I need my CD player. Oh the conundrum. If only I...

I'm waiting for a tech to respond to a page so I can go do something away from the computers. I was hoping it was that call. Then it wasn't. Oh well. Nearly time for my call from auckland. Ah,...

Just remember man there is no place like home - dusty turnaround I'll be heading to the place that gives me money shortly. It's getting cold already so I think I might put my gloves on. I might go to...

Well, I'm here by myself (essentially, I'm the only one answering phones), and of course the great majority are noise complaints. Here's my funny one for this evening... Guy calls in to complain about loud 80s music coming from somewhere...
