ISO Audits

Monday, November 30th, 2009

Once a year I get asked by a client to do an audit on the computer systems and the general state of their systems, this year I was dreading it, even putting it off for nearly a month, but today was D-Day so of I popped to have a look. In the process I managed [...]

Finishing stuff off

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

One of my pet hates right now is websites, ironically I hate doing them now. Although they are fairly easy to do I’m finding the act of sitting down and getting them finished is a right pain in the backside. I just don’t want to do it, I suppose I should get over this feeling [...]

Not doing a lot is easy

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Spent the last couple of days just trying to get back into a day/night cycle.. Not doing too bad but feel a little lost at the moment still got a fair bit happening Monday and Tuesday next week so spent today sorting out a Clients Website. Managed to get it nearly done but will have [...]

No respect

Friday, November 27th, 2009

I wake this morning very early and bugger about on the inter-web while trying to come to terms with being back at home and on dry land again (yes I suffer from sea legs). Anyway pop out and buy some bits and bobs and generally do some other work, pop in to a clients and [...]

At last!

Thursday, November 26th, 2009

Well just as I was thinking I would be spending another day onboard I’m rushed to pack my gear up as everyone makes ready for the crew change that “MUST” happen. Seems one of the ROV guys has to get home due to a family problem, so regardless of the weather off we are going. [...]

OooK.. :(

Wednesday, November 25th, 2009

Well the weather really was bad after all and I didn’t manage to get home, so in keen Librarian fashion I eat a banana and play some more “Timeshift” while wondering if I will ever get home. Not sure what to make of how I feel about this job at the moment as times like [...]

Going home YEY!

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

What a strange day I had yesterday being first told I was going home on Wednesday then being told that I was in fact going home Thursday because of the weather then being told I’m not and will be staying for another week… Then just when I start to get off to sleep i get [...]

Websites while away :)

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Spent the early hours getting a website set-up and looking right which is a difficult thing to juggle, however I like the look I have achieved and hope the client does too. Sent them an email and hope they come back with an answer later today so I can continue and get the site to [...]

Chicken curry without the Chicken

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Food is still terrible with me thinking a nice chicken curry would be a good idea, however who serves a chicken curry minus the chicken and full of bones? So much for that idea then. Still no word on when will be leaving although some are talking about the possibility of losing the Berth Monday [...]

Hanging about..

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

Still here seems strange but from the word on the street the weather window is not big enough to warrant the Vessel going out, also the berth would be lost meaning they would have to pay for it again (not a small sum) the other Vessel here has gone out though, although this seems to [...]
