I've now taken most of my annual Holiday. One week was my normal week of camp in norfolk, and was the weather bad! Not so bad as the year before, as the huge stakes that hold the side of the marquee down didnt spend the week trying to pull out of the ground, but it did rain atleast once on every day. But we all survived, and a large heater was used in the main marquee to keep peoples clothes dry and have somewhere warm to disappear to.
Since august, I've also been over to Germany. I flew into Lubek airport (or Hamburg if you believe ryanair! I stayed the week in a fairly cheep hotel in Hamburg. I got there and asked for the reservation I'd made in my best (school based) german, and got the reply back that there had been a problem of water in the rooms, and I was now in a hotel a few doors up the street. I took me a moment to understand, and by the time I did, they offered to speak in english. But I did try and use german :-)
The week before last, I took a visit to a colo facility on Isle of Man, and set up a stack of gear for my company. My ears wear aching after several days of being blasted by air-con, and my legs from standing about configuring servers. But we got all the kit configured so at the minimum, we can access them from the main office to finish the configuration.
