Wednesday, October 12, 2005 Hey, I'm alive and doing work! I finally have all the tools to do what I need to do, and I since I received the go-ahead to start over I've actually been doing work! Yay! So, I don't have quite as much time to ramble now...

In any case, I got my fridge now at my place. Oh it is wonderful. In celebration I made pizza, since I knew that I could save the leftover cheese, salami and sauce. I also bought an imported (from Germany) Twix, which I froze. Oh yes, it was awesome. So awesome that the half that I had planned on saving for dessert tonight I ate for breakfast this morning. I'm also very happy to have freezing cold water at my disposal.

Again I'm amazed at zemi drivers. My fridge was delivered by the small mopeds they call "motos" here. No straps, just the fridge on the rear seat and the zemi-driver one hand on the handle-bars, the other arm holding the fridge on the moto. All this over gulleys and hills, rocks and all the other like you find here on a typical dirt road. Amazingly both the man and the fridge survived.

I'm finishing up downloading GalleryRemote/ImageMagick which will help me tremendously in uploading pictures. Previously I had to go to the workstation to resize them, and then transfer each one by hand and caption each one through the web interface. This handy little program will let me do all those things at once, here at work. So, expect to see a gallery update tomorrow.
