Tue 2 August 2005 - House

Posted in Home life — Daniel @ 6:10pm

I just bought one.

It’s walking distance to a zone 1 station and a great shopping strip (supermarket, library, coffee shops).

There’s ways to improve it, but it’s really lovely and very liveable even as-is. It’s art-deco style, 1930-ish.

Two words: central heating / dish washer. Argh wait, is that four words?

It’s on a subdivided block, but with a reasonable amount of garden left both at the front and back. So I won’t slave over it every weekend, and it was affordable for me.

Moving day will be in October.

Tue 2 August 2005 - Busy working from home

Posted in Working life — Daniel @ 11:09am

Ah, the joys of working from home. Last night 9pm deployment, then conference call until (yawn) 1am as things on a related system went a little askew.

This morning, more of the same. Monitoring systems on one screen, blogging on another, listening to conference call on speakerphone/mute. If things calm down a bit later, maybe I can catch up on sleep. And the washing-up.
