Well, it's great to be back home, but what a flight..
After the London - Hong Kong sector the last thing you want to do is spend 6.5 hours on the tarmac at HK airport. There was an engine fault that required a replacement part, followed by an "incident" that closed a runway that delayed us for yet another hour. For some reason the AirNZ management deemed that we should stay on the plane the whole time.
Then we needed to divert via Brisbane becuase the crew had run out of hours. Meanwhile I am throwing up and back on the oxygen.
Finally made it home at 11.30pm on Sunday (left heathrow 9pm Friday)
Half the family has got the flu too.
Welcome to NZ! |

Alas poor Tony, our (nearly) 21 year old cat, has passed away to the great mouse hunting place in the sky.
Born in 1988 in Perth Australia, Tony moved to New Zealand in the early nineties and lived in Westport and various suburbs of Christchurch, before retiring to New Brighton in 2001.
Tony managed to hold his own until the end, and was the boss of all the neighborhood dogs, especially Shadow - our dog - who always lived in Tony's, er, shadow.
Tony was particularly well known for his very loud and strident meouw, and also for his inability to scratch with his left paw due to damage from a road accident. The resultant "scratch by proxy" sewing machine effect always caused us amusement, and Tony got some pleasure too.
Tony was a real character and we'll all miss him.

Arstechnica reports that Windows 7 will ship in the EU countries this year without IE8 installed by default.
In fact, no web browser will be present on the retail version of Win7, although OEMs are free to bundle any browsers they want with their products.
If you are unfortunate enough to have purchased Windows 7 retail in the EU, then IE will be available via CD or FTP.
You can order the CD online and download an FTP client, both using your web browser, which you don't have, or you can use command line FTP...
There might be a rush on these T Shirts amongst those of us who have to play tech support for our families.

I'm really excited about a four week contract I have with Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology (NMIT) to teach Object Oriented Programming in C# at the Zhajiang Water Conservancy and Hydropower College next month.
I'm sure it will be very hard work, but a fantastic opportunity to experience something a bit out of the ordinary...

If you are interested in taking one of the new virtual lab certification exams, then check out this link
http://blogs.technet.com/betaexams/
This is a new style of exam that uses a virtual lab environment to test skills. This is a great step forward, in my opinion, in creating relevant exams that test real world skills.
