Nothing speial happens today, I spent most of the time in the systrem administators mini confrance. There were a few good talks but most of them I wouldn’t have added to the program. I suppose I was expecting a more in depth talk about the dos and donts of system administration. It was a long day, towards the end I nearly fell asleap on the job. So I went back to the hotel and fell asleep, after collecting food from a supermarket like place. I purchased some “drinks” when I was there and a while later was about to open one, and found the lid would not screw off. Just my luck I purchased a drink without a bottle opener!! Where did my multitool go? Ohh that’s right I left in Hobart. Well the main confrance starts tommorow, I hope I can find some good talks to goto.

I have spent most of the time attending the Arduino crowd today, the opening keynote while entertaining at the start it finished with a technical glitch that put a downer on the rest of it (Welcome to Wellington). Anyway the rest of the day seem to pan out really well, if you like to tune in check out the program and stream it live!!

Anyway I have lots of Arduino gear now, ready to do my bidding!! Well once I get time to program and problem solve everything. :/

Loving NZ I think getting lost alone has lead me on long walks and interesting places, I will have to come back to some of them just to take a few pics, before signing off I must point out the bus system down here (see pic) it’s like trams but no lines.. SO AWSOME..

How hard is it to wake up at 7am in NZ? Well that’s 5am in AUS, and I was up at 4am to catch a flight.
Well that was impossible!! At 9am finaly crawled out of bed and grabbed some food at the corner shop on the way to the confrance center. Turned up at 9:30 and found a very organised crew, each room has a webcam like setup. So if you want to tune in, some of the presentations will be streamed live to the interwebs. Think I’m getting use to this funny money, it looks so strange in the till, like aus notes but realy faded.. Once again I found my in the world, up the back in the dark. But this time in front of a audio desk, kinda a change from the lighting desk I’m use to. Meah I still get to play around with sliders to keep me intertained. Weather in Welington is a bit fail at the moment seems to be drissiling alot, so as a result I’m getting realy good use out of my new rain coat (and loving it) doesn’t seem to take to long to dry, shake and da da!! Anyway day 1 in NZ not to shabby..
