It's usually contractors, e.g. painters, builders, even security like ADT who tip them off. Check if your neighbours had any too. It pays to be paranoid about home security in this country.
What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
Re: What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
So there was a little bit of rain today, and the entrance to the business park in which I work is apparently flooded. The traffic literally goes all the way back up the hill to each and every parking lot. Looks like I'm going to be stuck here for a while.

Re: What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
Feeling restless. It's almost 1AM and I'm still sitting here bouncing my knees. I spent so many hours of every day for the last six years working on my novel, and now that it's done, I don't know what to do with all this free time.
Maybe I should just start doing push-ups or something, I dunno... :/

It was 23 degrees today. I'm still in a long sleeve. One of our pupils almost fainted from the heat.

Re: What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
I'm kinda preferring European weather. I mean, it veers to the extremes sometimes but South Africa is just so hot; it's uncomfortable.

Re: What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
I bought myself a mousepad so I would stop using the desk surface like a poor person. Bit awkward but the mouse registers the mousepad even from quite a distance in the air (relative to the plain desk surface anyway). That's going to take some getting used to...

Server is installed in my rack, Tomorrow the courier gets my networking equipment from the wholesaler. The day after, my backbone gets installed, and I can put up my sector panels.

Re: What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
Just got back from a work session at my university's vehicle development group. We jokingly have a weekly nomination for "tool of the week" - if you make a stupid mistake, you get added to that list. And guess whose name was added because he had a lapse in attention and installed the wrong rubber socks on the drive shaft? Yours truly.

For a moment I saw rubber socks and expected something different.

Re: What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
The correct term is actually "booties", which lends itself to a far more vague interpretation than "socks". Essentially, it really is a rubber sock that fits over our CV (constant velocity) joints to protect them from outside contaminants and to preserve the lubricating grease. ... The double entendre possibilities are endless, no?Rakuen Growlithe wrote:For a moment I saw rubber socks and expected something different.
Lol, when I first heard of "tool of the week", I thought the same - a literal interpretation. My first thought was "okay, that's cute... but most of us here are reasonably experienced, and they'd run out of novel, new tools to showcase within two to three months". Nope. It turns out management has a weird sense of humour.Cape_F0X wrote:It's usually a toss up between the size 10 and 13 spanners.

Re: What are you doing RIGHT NOW?
I learned something I never bothered to think about today...
Anywho. My sector panels are installed, and my first customer is online!
There is some small issue with the connection dropping out every 10 minutes or so. But I have the idea it;s because of the DHCP lease.
