The meeting today went well, although there is more to be done tomorrow. I used MindManager to work through the meeting agenda and it worked really well. This software allows semi-hierarchical data to be organized into a format that makes some sort of logical sense, whilst managing links between related data, and then documenting things. I am finding that this was the right tool for the job.

Right now I am connected using Wireless in my hotel room and I think things are working fairly well. Actually I am impressed… A friend of mine has lent me a modem for me to have access… And I am able to do all the normal sorts of things… The only thing that I do not have running right at this minute is outgoing email but I can do that through WebMail until I work out how to get something else to work. One of these days I will get richard to show me how to open my firewall to allow me to send email using my own server for outgoing mail.

Dinner was good here… $20 for the largest Rump Steak I have ever seen. Country towns seem to be fairly good with food like that. Particularly meats. I think the best I ever had was at a small pub in Nanango, about 20 minutes south of Kingaroy in Queensland… Very small community with a single taxi and a Pizza shop that closes at 8:30pm, and a chineese shop that looks like it was refurbished in the 1960’s…
