flying out again — Truman Boyes

Over at Melbourne international again in the Air NZ lounge. Just enjoying the dinner, fish and chips to answer your question. Yes, the broadband is good, and its a good thing that I remembered to bring my retractable ethernet cable. Very handy in this regard. Can’t wait to get back to NZ, enjoy a bit of next week just around the house. Tuesday is a holiday in victoria, so I will have to take that off, and I will do this in Wellington this time.

I was able to get GST refund on the suit that I bought out in Richmond a few weeks back. I wore it so that I did not need to carry it in a suit case.

Next week a bunch of the guys from work are going to Sydney to get training on the Juniper MX-series. A really incredible box if you ask me.

lftp is completely the bomb. The best ftp/sftp/ftp-tls program you could ask for, unless of course you are looking for a gui application. I just used lftp to resume a mirror of some rar files that I had started a few days ago, and using it over sftp was an absolute charm, an excellent unix application that exemplifies the way of quality unix software.
