Cabinets..

Friday, November 30th, 2007

So we finally get off today and get a lift into town and wander around looking for a small cabinet to stick in the room so the TV is a little higher and easier for me to see.. Which is rather good of them as well just for me seems daft, but hey they don’t [...]

Walking the plank…

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Last night we finally made dock at a silly time of the night.. So this morning lots of people wandering around and looking a bit lost, as well everyone was expecting to do some work. Then we find out that the gangway that was put up during the night has been bent and twisted out [...]

Go to Hull!

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

So I wake up to find we are being battered by the waves yet again, although thankfully not as bad as when we came in.. The ironic thing is the wind is now from the south so we are again going against the tide and wind mostly.. So we are now heading into Hull for [...]

Away.. But for how long?

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

There was talk this morning that we would be leaving .. So it came as little surprise when at 3pm we finally began to leave dock.. Only to run straight into rough weather which pounded us something rotten, we should arrive onsite sometime in the next 24-30 hours weather depending of course.. I’d like to [...]

Alternator reality

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Up earlier than I wanted (2am) as couldn’t sleep took my time getting ready and loaded up the Van.. Then started which took 3 turns of the motor, normally only takes one, said good bye to Angel and noticed the 240 Inverter groaning about the power drain. Hmm perhaps the battery is a bit flat, [...]

Packing it in

Sunday, November 25th, 2007

This morning and in fact most of the day has been spent getting ready for the next installment of “Chain on the High Seas” with me downloading everything I could think of down onto portable HDD and burning disc after disc of data. Then popped out and bought a shoe rack, new kettle and set [...]

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

Ok so I got this fantastic little beast for while away and the first problem i came across was trying to find drivers for Windows XP Pro, it seemed that the laptop (marked 8227D on the bottom) was a Mitac re-branded bare bones laptop that PC Nextday just put together and brand as a ZooStorm. [...]

Getting ready..

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

So starts the rush to get things in order before heading off for anther couple of weeks of full and games.. Had a call to go sort out someone today and decided to do it over the phone as I honestly couldn’t be bothered with the trip to hear someone drone on about how they [...]

Website madness.

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Ok it’s true I have fallen out of love with websites.. They’re just too damn fiddly to get on with these days, I find myself unable to fully explore ideas because clients want the site(s) to look a certain way. So the other day I was recommended to a new client, popped in there today [...]
