    As you are no doubt aware, we haven’t got around to having a housewarming party yet – but don’t worry, it’s Cat’s birthday soon and we’re already scheming. We’ll keep you posted.

    3D Volume Atomic Holographic Optical Disk Drive Storage – Colossal Storage Corporation Mmmm…. 10 Terabytes to 10 Petabytes and Beyond Rewritable Atomic Holographic Disk Drive nanoTechnology. I wonder how long we’ll have to wait.

  • Life as a Technical Support Agent

    Life as a Technical Support Agent

    Now well into my second week, I’m starting to adjust to the new lifestyle. I keep drawing the short straw and working late shifts, which isn’t particularly compatible with my passion for cooking elaborate dinners or with Cat’s schedule, but it is kinda fun. Hopefully the novelty won’t wear off any time soon.

  • The New Job

    The New Job

    Starting Friday I’ll be working for a company called PCI based in Southbank working as a help desk operator for AAPT’s dialup and broadband internet users, mainly dealing with fascinating queries regarding configuration and changing user’s passwords. Sounds exciting, I know, but the pay is pretty good and I get to wear a tie.

    Well, how very exciting. Today I’m celebrating 2 weeks of fresh air, having (finally) quit smoking two weekends ago. Feels great!
