skyringI'm off to Sydney tomorrow - there's an ABEbooks representative touring Australia and tomorrow she's hosting a meeting in Sydney at Darling Harbour. I'll drive up and get to meet a bunch of other folk in seedy clothes, blinking in the light. Won't get home until midnight or so, but that's OK. Must find an audiobook to listen to.
Need another couple of mobile phones. Apart from the fiasco weekend before last when Kerri was at the "wrong" terminal and I couldn't contact her to find where she was, I had a bit of hassle yesterday when I had to meet Amberjane to do the handover. I gave her my mobile number, then realised that I'd given the mobile to son, who plays card games in town on Wednesday afternoons. So that didn't work out. Must check out the options on Saturday when the kids can pick models and colours. They are cheap as chips on prepaid deals.
Kerri's off to Paris next month - without me ***SIGH*** - but she's also staying three days in Washington on the way over, making it an around the world trip. Maybe I'll find a Washington guidebook. The Dorling-Kindersley guides are superb, with pictures and diagrams and maps of public transport systems, which is the sort of thing she needs when she's travelling.
For my part, I've been looking for a second-hand copy of the London book if I'm to do the Monopoly thing next year.
I'm procrastinating on rearranging the computers. I need to make my laptop my workstation - all the boxes are stored out of sight so all I ever see is a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse, anyway - install Server 2003 onto my current workstation and use that for all sorts of server stuff. The box I've got handling the internet connection is too slow for any serious work, so I'll leave it doing that.
Perhaps I'll get that done this weekend. A day of moving files and folders around and feeding disks into the box and stuffing around with security settings. Oh joy.
