My new old job

Well i'm sad to say i won't be going to GUADEC this year; I was planning too, but because of work i can't really afford to go. It would screw up project planning and that can't really be changed.
On another note, i haven't switched jobs, my boss convinced me to at least stay another half year at sitesupport because of the previously mentioned project. It was a tough cookie because i really wanted to work for ibuildings, but in the end the project and certain other aspects where worth the half year.

On a totally "unrelated" note, i'll be getting a new computer this week *wheee* I'm really happy about it, since my current rig is a 6 year old frankenstein of replaced parts, and in recent months is beginning to give the ghost. Secondary ATA has died, and my harddisk is puking the occasional "[1967109.982456] hdb: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }[1967109.982470] hdb: dma_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=275874352, high=16, low=7438896, sector=275874352 " error. (bad m'kay)

Although, next to the joy of getting a new rig, i don't like the prospect of making all those tiny adjustments and such again, like installing a sane cyrus21+postfix+fetchmail mail system, for my spam collection.

But for those whom care about such things, i've ordered the following system. I6.6 Intel Core 2 Duo Game systeem I'm really not a hardware person, so i don't have a clue what i actually ordered, but heck it was expensive so it must be good :)
