[m i a o w] the cat

I made it home, again. Very happy to see M, and the amazing job he’s done on our acre. People should be champing at the bit to buy it. Grrr. I departed Melbourne in a cloud of IT angst, having put in a request for ftp access to my files on March 15 and getting no action until half an hour before leaving the office for god knows how long on the 21st. This is the first time I have really loathed supposed ‘help desk’ people. Because I worked as one for a while, I thought I had increased tolerance - not anymore. They sent me in circles, which culminated in all of them calling or coming into the office to tell me that no, you can’t have ftp access to your groups files - use netstorage…
but netstorage sucks, and it’s beyond sluggish, and I hate it…

Anyway - they shared my required folders to netstorage, and thus, after having a bit of a poke around an hour or so ago, I realised that they have unintentionally given me FTP access, which is what I wanted all along. Suckers.

My last night in town was a blast. It was the launch of the Four Minute Wonder videos, all the bands and film makers got to go along and drink free beer and eat nibblies. It was the first time that Bidston Moss have all hooked up together for about a year. The shame. I made a valiant attempt to take it easy on the free Coopers as I had to get up at 5.45am to get to the airport. We met and thanked the excellent Adam (and his friend…Adam) for their killer clip, and gave them some cds. They actually were very much our kind of people, so hopefully we can hook up again somehow over artwork or whatever. I am very keen to start playing again - also in the little ’side project’ that Chris and I do - 10Speed. Am debating on finding another guitarist/bassist to make us a three piece. Hmmmm.
