the corner office

I've set up a laptop, I've got a vamped-up Linux box (headless and easy to travel with), about 5 extra hard drives, a switch and a pile of cables. And a couple of pet projects to take care of. We've got the PS2 packed, a heap of DVDs, I've got my books for a January exam, and I'll grab a couple of unread novels from the bookshelf.

Yep, it's the geek equivalent of the umbrellas (for sun, not rain), boogey boards, skottel braai, rugby balls and fishing rods. Ronwen and I are joining the annual Vaalie exodus to Durbsbythesea.

Verily, Ronwen and I are heading off to Durban for two weeks' holiday.

I'll be popping into our Durban office for a real bandwidth fix now and then, but for the most part Internet access is bound to be erratic with the schlep of dialling up from the parental units' pozzies, so I'm bound to be a little scarce. To bed I must; a long drive ahead of us tomorrow...
