So I haven’t posted for a while I think its time for an update

So Karl what have you been up to?

I’ve seen a bunch of movies and watched a bunch of tv shows and spent time with friends. Of the movies I have seen Batman The Dark Knight stood out as the best one this year..what an excellent movie. Others worthy of mention mostly because I enjoyed them Hancock, Indiana Jones 4, Ironman, The Incredible Hulk. Movies that get a mention because you should avoid them Wanted, Love Guru.

On the TV front I have spread the word of dexter and got a few of my workmates and friends watching it, I have watched many a series and am currently watching the weekly episodes of burn notice, eureka, stargate atlantis, the middleman and weeds. I have also been rewatching babylon 5 and for the first time a show called John Doe.

Work has changed a little I am no long doing Level 1 support and my stuff has moved I’m now in the poorly named hosting unit and my duties are primarily System Admin stuff and some higher level support. I have to say the change has been good and bad..there are many things in use that I am now expected to manage that I know jack all about but fake it anyway, but the best part is not being on the phones even if I do have a manger I have to train.

Thats all for now..if you haven’t seen The Dark Knight see it.

I took the Thursday before Good Friday off and flew down to visit the folks. Gotta say 1hr plane ride then a 2 hour car ride isn’t great but it beats 9hr drive. This country needs some decent rail systems or something and better air coverage of regional areas.

I think a high speed train between towns would be great..not high speed like the XPT is supposed to be (180km/h my arse) high high speed..of course we would need an arse load of new infrastructure to do that.

My long weekend consisted of much austar, talking to parents, some beer, talking to brother, some car travel and some pool it was pretty good. I also had a tasty garlic sausage roll that I want more of.
I got back on Monday and had a great shower to wash the smoker smell off me then went to Raina’s and watched some sga, talked and had pizza!
