DPF still powerless

My laptop is still without power and likely to be so until Monday at the earliest.  Sigh.

A big thumbs up to ProSouth who e-mailed me last night after seeing my problem on the blog and arranged for me to come in and see them before their business normally opened today.  Now that’s great pro-active service! Sadly the exact cord needed they had just sold out of, and despite their superb efforts trying half a dozen diffferent places for me, there is no HP laptop cord anywhere in Dunedin it seems.

They then arranged the NZ distributor to courier a new one to me at Wellington tomorrow, but now they have had a delay and I won’t get it until next week. Wouldn’t be such a problem if I was at home, as I have spare PCs (and spare laptops!) there.

So once again blogging will be very infrequent.

Had a pleasant evening tonight.  I caught up with Roger Gnome at the good old Captain Cook and had some beer and nachos.  We were then joined by Luke of the Young Greens and by coincidence Bryce Edwards was there also so ended up a nice wee group.  The Cook was a lot less crowded than in my day!

Spent the morning in Dunedin, and had a quick trip to and back from Oamaru in the afternoon.  Due to being off e-mail the phones were going non stop and it was almost comical as I was literally having to place one phone down to answer another phone and swap between them, all while travelling along SH1.

Anyway has been a nice few days in the South – back to Wellington tomorrow.  Won’t be very bloody relaxing though as I have a s**t load of e-mails to wade through when reconnected.
