Tired

Whether it's hayfever, an incipient cold, or one too many late nights I'm feeling on the sleepy side of late. Hope I wake up in time for badminton. I seem to be blogging mostly on wednesdays recently, not sure why.

Still on the plus side, I've started doing content providing for distributed proofreaders, my car has been looked at and has stopped making the noise that has been worrying me for the last few weeks, and I think I'll have a nice relaxing veggie night tonight. And of course, Swancon is approaching rapidly :)
Ah well, back to work.

Whew

Well, launch happened. Web site was more or less finished (tweaking to do and grabbing a few more content bits) but it looks fairly pretty. Nice to get back to the usual insanity. Feel free if you want to look at what I spent the last week sweating over, the Research Institute for Sustainable Energy website.
Very green. Appropriate for a sustainable energy centre, and appropriately enough we launched on St Patrick's day. Ah begorrah.

I've also updated my atom feed to full so my bits in the planet ucc thingy don't come out feeling truncated.
However now I'm hungry and I have badminton in just over an hour, so I'm going to go find some nice unhealthy fast food to eat before badminton.

And back to frantic

Argh, after a week or so of merely being busy, it's back to frantic again as I seem to have been given the job to get a website ready for a major launch. On Wednesday. I've been at it most of the week and provided I get given content for the remaining pages it should be working by the deadline. Just don't ask me about domain names. They are not my problem!

Went to the UCC fresher welcome yesterday evening. Usual crush, especially around the corner where they were doing the PGP signings. Lots of pizza, those with the chicken fingers were interesting.

Doing a little post proofing on my 4th Mirror in the couple of hours lull time I have left before doing my volunteering up at the observatory. Then tomorrow it's the Swancon Quiz Day, which is usually fun. We plan to follow that by some board gaming somewhere so weekend looking kinda full. But full of fun which is a good kind of full.

Brrr

Well, here's a little dip in the warm summer weather, I assume Pam is enjoying it to the hilt.

Went to the observatory summer lecture last night. It had rained earlier in the day and we weren't sure if we'd have to go to the backup plan, but the rain didn't last and the skies were clear for the talk on the Void at the end of the Universe. Good talk, but the more prepared people were definitely rugged up, it was more than a little on the nippy side, especially if you've been used to the 30°C+ days we'd been having. The Bureau of meteorology assures us that the weather will warm up again but last night, and today have been a little on the cool side, and alas, I did not dress for cool. My attempts to remedy this would not win me any fashion prizes, but at least kept me from shivering for most of the day. This building does not heat up quickly.

Work settling down

Well, 1st semester is underway, and the pace has cranked down from frantic to merely busy.

I have my new geek toy. Very nice to have a phone/pda. Andrew is stoked with his purchase too, we were working in the evening on saturday so it was a little tricky dragging him away from his new toy long enough, still was a good tour. Nice and clear.
