It’d really annoying when your monitor (FD Trinitron or not) shakes from side to side on your desk all the time. Could it be the streetcars going by?

Well, I’m at my second day at work. This morning I wasn’t quite runing around like a madman, so I guess I’m starting to remember the daily morning routing quickly. The other daily routine is also starting to come back: coffee. I need to get some green tea and bring it in to work, before this starts getting serious again.

Random thing in the garbage at work today: a copy of Solaris 2.5 server.

Well, we got fed up with bell not being able to update the darn DSLAM fast enough, so I called Rogers and they’ll be around on Tuesday, guaranteed. Now that’s some decent service.

Of course, this won’t help me much because I’m in Toronto now for the summer. Dial-up for me, yay. Woo-hoo. I’m so happy. <sarcasm>

On the bus today I finally got around to starting to read the excellent sci-fi novel Bellwether by Connie Willis. Calum, you would appreciate this book, especially:

1. Optimize potential.
2. Facilitate empowerment.
3. Implement visioning.
4. Strategize priorities.
5. Augment core structures.

Well…. we’re finally finished setting up our new apartment. The furniture has been built and moved, the posters have been hung, the bed has been assembled, everything has been cleaned, polished, or put away. Now, if only Bell can get off their sorry asses and get our DSL hooked up properly and send us the kit, we’d be 100%. As it is, I’m writing this from campus.
