Mental Overload - Journal - Work - Link
05 February 2009, 10:26am

I know I've been burning life at both end lately, and for me, some symptoms of that are email box overflowing, and lots of tabs open in Firefox, consisting of half read articles and things I want to look at at some stage. 30-40 tabs can make me mentally groan, and the thought of all that I might lose if they were closed makes me tense.

Bern was using my computer the other day and she accidentally clicked close in Firefox and it popped up the following message:

Okay that's really too many. Time to stop everything and sort...

now that I've blogged it.



cyganics.com for books - Journal - Work - Link

I was looking around for a book: Agile Web Development with Rails: A Pragmatic Guide, and I remembered that SAGE-AU had a sponsor who was a bookstore. I chased up cyganics.com and found that though they didn't have the book listed, they had a nice friendly looking email addresss for enquiries. So I sent them an email, and got one back saying they couldn't find it, (probably because I'd only given them half the name). I replied with the ISBN Number and they found it and offered it to me at a fairly good price, with my SAGE-AU 10% discount.

Then I remembered it was Tuesday Night and I was going away on Monday for a few days and what better relaxation than learning a new programming language? :)

I emailed to ask if they could express ship it, or did it have to go from the publisher to them and then out to me? I got a call the next morning to say they had already organised the publisher to overnight ship it to me, and I hadn't even given them my credit card details yet!

I'm mightly impressed, so many thanks to the people at cyganics.com

In doing some remote work for a customer tonight, I was remote desktopped into their server and was then using the server to VNC into another machine on that network...

Then I was trying to manipulate a 150Mb file...

sloooooooooow.

It has been rather an exciting few months in the Snell household..

It started with a general dissatisfaction with my job in ICT Security, Dept of Education & Training, which must have subconsciously led to a 3am business idea, resulting in The Tech Doctor Network (site has very limited functionality at the moment)

Registering Business names, Company, domain names. Buying 1300 numbers and new cars, working out Mobile EFTPOS machines and Uniforms, as well as working my normal hours and starting to look after my new customers...

I've had fantastic support from family and friends, and Bernie has been 110% behind me all the way, chasing fuel cards and wholesale accounts, planning logos, business cards & brochures..
