Wow, it's been awhile. Almost a year since my last post. It truly is hard to believe. It's been a busy year so far, but I've finally got some time to start posting again. I've got some interesting SharePoint posts coming down the pipe, plus a new site design I'm working on. It's still in its early s [ . . . ]
Ahhhhh, I finally have a few minutes to write. :-) I am now in Drouin [map], about 100 km southeast of Melbourne. Last night I got together with Ben, Matt and AJ Holliday, Laura Linden, Christine Leach Croxford and her husband Dave, Eddie and Laura Matthies, and Christine and Rupert. We went to get [ . . . ]
I made it to Drouin, where Matt and Christine Holliday have just moved into their brand new house, about 3 hours ago. It is late – almost 3 am. But for some reason I am restless and can't sleep. There is so much to write… Well, it'll have to wait. Ben has already crashed and I should at least try to [ . . . ]
On Friday the 17th Nalissa and TJ (her sister) called and arranged to pick me up to take me to "the mountain." I didn't quite understand what was going on - I had misunderstood the day before when Nalissa told me there was a dinner. It turned out we were going up to Mt. Tamborine, where th [ . . . ]
Headed out to the Lone Pine Koala sanctuary today. I managed to figure out the bus system well enough to get out there, but I definitely wouldn't consider myself a bus expert by any means yet. We'll see how I fare with the ferries later today…
Anyway, the koala sanctuary was much cooler than I had [ . . . ]
Today started out on a positive note that belied the actual hellish day that awaited me… I woke up rather early, but went back to sleep several times because… well, because I could. It's vacation. :-) Once I finally did get up I had myself some delicious Nutri-grain cereal and wet out for a jog. My [ . . . ]
Boy, am I tired. But it's only 6:30 so I'm going to tough it out a few more hours before I crash. It's been a good day though. I spent most of the morning on Queen Street getting some things taken care of. I started at a Telstra shop to get a pre-paid cell phone set up. I brought my old unlocked tri [ . . . ]
Well, I made it safe and sound to Brisbane. Clearing customs was a breeze, but it did take quite a long time for my bags to come out at the baggage claim. Then I made the silly mistake of assuming I could just catch a shuttle and pay the driver cash. No, I needed to make a reservation. So I was unab [ . . . ]
Finally, after a very confusing gate change and a lot of randomization from airport personnel, we're boarding. Brisbane, see you ~14 hours! [ . . . ]
Flight delayed by 35 mins. LAAAAAMMMMMEEEE. [ . . . ]
