What you are about to read occured in the past - I believe it was 1999/2000. Flashbacks are normal for new-years.
It looks like the homeloan/bond money is going to take some time longer than expected to come through. Not really a problem, because I am hitting the highs again. I just got my Ancestry visa application all together and submitted, so now I can get on with more of my life, still have to sell the 2 cars, and find homes for the 2 dogs,
Home alone, and working
Been home-alone for a bit this week, means I got some work done on the contract, it is hard going, an unfamiliar environment like linux does slow you a little, but it is so cool when you realize what you were doing wrong, and discover a shortcut to do what you wanted to in a much simpler way. What I find so kinky is that it (linux SUSE) really does use less RAM. It is a great developer platform to work on, because most things work faster (except the help-system, which works on-line actually) because I have limited conenctivity it does hurt. Once in the UK I hope to corry on linux-ing and get totally broadband. I am still contemplating mail-bombing my buddies back in RSA the day I get fully connected. But that is all in the future, so much to get done before that time.
Oh, plug! I am building a TCP/IP gateway for Radio Transmission Services http://www.rtse.co.za/, the project is basically a small linux-box (about 7 inches across) with only one purpose, run a lightweight SUSE kernel and some realtime patches to do very precise modem-control in order to communicate back out to a very long customized RS485 network, and expose all the data via a modbus TCP/IP (open-mbus) over LAN.
I rarely dof my salesmans hat, but now I will pause to return myself to normal me.
