Saturday. New Years Eve. What was meant to be a nice quiet evening didn't quite work out that way. We did have a nice turkey roll roast for dinner. And I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. But the sweetie ended up talking to Kit and Pete most of the night (I talked to them for a while too). Watched the Sydney fireworks at midnight and then Rage til way too late.
Sunday. New Year's Day! Too late a night for me. Doh. Did sleep til around 8ish though. Had bacon and eggs for breakfast. Then spent all morning catching up on the last of the blog entries for last year. Spent all afternoon hacking a copy of my blog to test out (and log) all the changes I'd need to make to refresh the design on it for its 20th blogiversary. Had Dominos for dinner (first time in a long time) and watched 8th episode of Picard, somewhat of a strange one. Then we watched the Laid Back Camp movie which was .. eh ok.
Monday. Slept well enough. Spent most of the day hacking my blog. Stu went out and did some weed hacking so I did some work outside as well. Watched the second episode of season 7 of You Can't Ask That (saw the first episode the other day). Refried leftover pizza and salad for dinner then just watched crap on the internet.
Tuesday. Woke up at ~4:45 and never got back to sleep. Sigh. Back at work, being Neil. Cleared the queues by lunch time. That means I'm done for the day right? hrmm.
Wednesday. Ok sleep. Some sparkies came to replace our ancient analogue meter with a fancy new digital one. Need to get a login for it. They were all done by 8:30. Tried to do some cleaning but all the people wanted all the things. Stu finally responded to the solar guys request for feedback, and he wrote a very diplomatic response telling them the system was borked and they can't communicate to save themselves. That put a fire up their butts and they sent someone out that afternoon. Right as a storm rolled through. They left eventually but the system still wasn't working. At all. Sigh. Made a fancy potato bake to have with some refried pork in pork jelly. As I was turning the oven off the power to it tripped. WTF? What's the deal with everything electrical being borked?? Either the sparkies have done something dodgy with all their fiddling, or one of the elements is faulty (and when you turn the dial to go past it, even with the temperature dial off, it will sometimes try to turn on another element as you go past it). Sigh. Finished watching Survivor Canberra.
Thursday. Slept ok. Went into work. Pretty quiet, and started collating a bunch of cleaning jobs. Did mention the solar isn't working. AT ALL. #grunt
Friday. Couldn't get to sleep in forever, then woke up before 5. Sigh. So a zombie day. I was going to do some cleaning work but then remembered I needed to put in paperwork for a firewall upgrade. So spent most of the morning doing that. But I was too braindead to do some of the cleaning I wanted to do. Didn't want to break anything hehe. Raijin takeaway for dinner but it was pretty average. The beef don was nice enough but the karaage chicken.. well wasn't really.. karaage chicken.. at all. XL's from Champion Chicken and Tea at the mall on Thursday was much much nicer.
Then watched Origins of Us - Bones
Saturday. Slept a lot better. Had a super super busy day doing All The Things. I did 6000 steps without even leaving the house! Chong Co for dinner then watched the last episode of Picard. Aww man I love Q so much (I even had a dream last night I kissed him haha). And the traveller!! I'd forgotten that! Of course then we *had* to watch Encounter at Farpoint. OMFG everyone thirty five years younger :) Except the aspect ratio from the DVD was wrong, and not sure if we have to hack the DVD player or the TV, but ended up just watching it on streaming. Slightly late night, oops.
The new phone struggled with this. Dunno what the old one would have done...
Sunday. Today! My 20th Blogiversary!! I started off by backing up my blog - first the database, then a snapshot of the files. Took an hour and twenty minutes cause there's two and a half gig of it! Yipe! I got the design refreshed but I'm getting 405 errors when posting. I'm not sure if that's just cause it's not in a fully published state, or if there's errors in the template. But the entries posted, so will look into it more later. So then I started publishing the old pages. There's over 5000 entries and it's going to take hours and hours and hours to do it (as of 17:45 it's ony 38% of the way through the individual entries). Did some holiday planning and some other stuff around the house. Tried to backup my new phone, but since it's a new device it wants to do a full backup. Which filled my c: drive. Whoops. Will have to look at moving the backup somewhere else. And I really need to clear out some of the 35000 photos on there ;)
Not sure how I'm going to survive a full week of work...
