I’m not dead….apparently

Good news,  I am not dead :)   I have just been rather busy these last few days.  Plus I wasn’t feeling brilliant.

Lets start at the weekend.  Saturday I was just about over a cold so decided to try and sort out my new passport.  I got the forms for a biometric passport from a post office.  It should be pretty easy to get and even better news that it doesn’t need to be counter signed by my doctor :D

Sunday I went to a medieval market.  It was REALLY good fun looking at all the little nick knacks.  I picked up a couple of wooden chests and also a new fox skin.    A little pricey,  but I saw it and wanted.  Simple as that really,  a bit of spontaneity in my otherwise boring life.

Monday was very busy at work.  I have been working on getting our new Fedora 12 file server working properly.  Its been a real practical education.  Got to have a play with SAMBA and WOL.     That was fun,  I even learned a little more about mapping network drives in Microsoft Windows XP.   Everything was unfortunately returned to its original state as I hit a few problems that could not resolve quickly.  Mainly permissions based.  Looking to address the situation when time allows.

Today I have been doing some scripts that will produce sage compliant csv files for one of our web order systems.   Nothing new here,  just a little housekeeping.   Killed a few hours today,  so wasn’t too bad.  Looking forward to going into the office tomorrow.  Pretty sad I guess,  but I have learned what is really important is personal enjoyment.
