Since wednesday last week I have been waiting on some CPU modules to be delivered. Today when I finally got onto the supplier I found that they only had 10 of the modules in stock, and that the remainder were due in later today. And thanks to the timeframes it means I will need to go in and pick them up late this afternoon. And given that I need to pick someone up from the airport at about 7:30 I guess that means I will be finding somewhere in the inner city to have dinner tonight.

Sign of the time of year. Yesterday I was driving through smithfield, and there was a person dressed in a full santa suit drawing our attention to the fact that a christmas warehouse was open for business for a somewhat seasonal festival that we call christmas. Thankfully by christmas the M7 should be open and therefore i will not need to drive that way as much.

Speaking of which I just needed to visit the M5 WWW site to order a new bracket for my eTag. My old one has come off, and I need the superior sticky that comes on a new bracket. So I tried M5Motorway.com and it went to the RTA… M5Motorway.com.au goes to the M5 Motorway. Seems that there are companies actively marketing for your eTag business… Unfortunately I doubt that there will be a price war 🙁

I was unpacking my bag earlier yesterday, and found something in my bag… A tool I purchased in 2002 when I visited Hawaii for Ironman. I thought I had lost this tool somewhere… Since I purchased it my bag has been around the world once. And to the USA as well. And to New Zealand. And Albury. And Brisbane. And I have only just found this tool. I am really surprised to find it – It is a tool used to locate wires that have power going through them. Maybe I should check in the pockets of my other bags… Maybe I will find some $100 notes.
