Pissing On The Matai Tree

February 2, 2004 General Comments Off on Pissing On The Matai Tree

Although the weather was completely miserable for the most part, we had a pretty fun weekend out west, staying in the Global Village hostel in Greymouth. The drive across the south island wasn’t very long, and when the rain occassionally lifted up we got to see some amazing scenery as we headed through Arthur’s pass. On Saturday we headed the 80km up north to find Pancake Rocks, an area of limestone and mudstone that had been layered up by the effects of erosion. Looked like there might have been some nice climbing there. From there we headed out to see New Zealand’s longest swing bridge which proved to be a rather uninteresting detour out of our way, except for the large matai tree that Patrick promptly pissed upon during the jungle walk.

Jeff sent me a mail asking if I would be his friend. Not wanting to dissappoint the guy, I agreed and managed to find myself in orkut.com. I have still no idea what I’m doing there – I figure it’s the weird mixture of some college fraternity, a key signing party and a tama-gotchi. I guess it’s the new hip thing. I added some people and then got bored. It will probably take me some time to adjust.

Thank god Mark finally left Sun – couldn’t stand the bugger. Seriously, hope Mark has a rocking time with Red Hat. Sad to see him go, but glad that he’s still on the GNOME scene. Seemingly there is an open job posting available now in Sun Ireland working on GNOME.
