Time off
Thanks to the way our 15k course fell, Anton, Chris and I ended up with the morning off. This was to allow every person on the course to get up close and personal with the procedures required to remove system and IO boards, expander boards, system controllers and centerplane support boards.
I personally took used this time in bed asleep. The (extremely) long weekend had left me pretty tired and I was glad to get some time to recoup. Around 9:45 I got up, read my email and did all of the usual stuff. I used the time to prepare dinner this evening, which means I’ve only got to drop my veg and chicken into the wok to get going. A real time saver.
The kitchen was getting pretty messy too, so I tidied up and hoovered the floor (and the hall and living room) in preparation for the mop. Much easier when there aren’t loads of little crappy bits that stick to the mop. I’ll do this shortly; right now Charlotte is working in the kitchen, so I’ll do it once she’s finished (or maybe I’ll cook first).
In other news: Win4BSD sucks, the single application mode is a cheesy Windows hack to replace the explorer.exe shell with a single application. No use to me at all. Needless to say I’m back running Ubuntu Edgy Eft and will be scrapping the FreeBSD partition shortly.
Tomorrow my two new books should turn up: Solaris Internals and Solaris Performance and Tools. I’ve got a battered Solaris Internals I accidentally bought second hand; this will go back on Saturday when I get to the Post Office.
