Early flight to Sydney with Mark, big back-at-work day today with meeting after meeting. Some interesting new database work coming up, it seems. Sydney's pretty quiet -- seems that most folks are still on vacation. Wish I was -- it was hard getting out of my warm bed at 5am..

My mentoree is doing great. I'm feeling quite protective of her, and feel her softlinking as if it were mine! I wonder if I'd feel different about her stuff if I didn't know how old she was..

Leaving for the Cleveland Hotel in 5 minutes to see my old friend Anjum, we'll probably have a thali over the road at the South Indian cafe..

21:30

Yep great thali, A Vegetarian Meal That Isn't Just Brown Gack was enjoyed by old good friends. Back in the office, E2 my first port of call. Dull dayblog it seems to me.. my Sydney days always feel less real and interesting than Canberra days.

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN CHINGED!

Update! simonc's chest swells with pride that Sour has reached Level 2 today! And she'd done it by being herself in every wup. Sincere thanks to Sour for being cool, and to Rancid_Pickle for helping out with our young charge when I've been offline. /me picks Sour up and whizzes her around the room! Wheee! Now take your voting power seriously, love, and keep noding what you know about stuff that's important to you. Oh, yeah, think about getting a spell checker to make it all a bit easier, and remember that XP stoicism says it all. ^_^
