Monday

So, there was a weekend. Thursday night was R&R (I'm not impressed by the person taking the class, TBPH), followed by the Round (which was relaxing and quite fun). Friday [livejournal.com profile] atreic and I went ringing, and I managed Cambridge and Steadman without needing to look things up - this is reassuring!

Saturday I did a bit of house-tidying, some organisational stuff, and played Angband (more of which in a separate post), and felt ill. I made dinner, and drove to [livejournal.com profile] antinomy and [livejournal.com profile] acronym's party, since I wasn't really up to going out at all. Definitely glad I made the effort, though.

Yesterday started with the traditional Sunday religion things (which I shan't bore you with the details of), and was later spent trying to wrestle the network into shape so [livejournal.com profile] claroscuro can use her old laptop in her room. The route from ming (center of the network, and all-round server/router/firewall) to her laptop now looks like:

(there's some 802.11b between secnet-spur and dam-secnet, but we do VPN over that for obvious reasons ;)

And so today I'm back in work, hoping to have another productive week. Off to Ballroom fast-track tonight, where I have a book to give [livejournal.com profile] rmc28, and then home to make a (late) dinner for [livejournal.com profile] atreic
