After a night on the charger I checked out my $200 Federal battery and found it was only 11.53 volts. Straight after a full charge in my experience lead acid batteries hover around 13 volts.
I called up about my motorbike yesterday afternoon and was told that it would now be put off another day because they were waiting upon a gasket, (for the third day in a row) and it would deffinately be finished (for the third day in a row) by the followingafternoon.
I’m sitting in my cubicle cube by myself today. Everyone else has called in sick apparently. After a whole rash of work prior to 10am it’s been relatively quiet today and I’m just biding my time until lunch.
Nothing makes the day go slower than a slow day in the office but I can live in hope that there will be a heap more work later this afternoon to make the time fly by.
Last night I saw an iphone in the flesh for the first time and it was better than I imagined. I was particularly impressed with the graphical interface for displaying sms messages whereby messages from the same contact are displayed in speech bubbles down the screen like a chat program so you can read it like a conversation. It was a simple thing but it was an interface feature that made the device feel welcoming and of a high quality.
I’m sure the iPhone is still big news for most of the world but they’re still not officially for sale in Australia and whilst I know of people who have them I hadn’t had the opportunity to see one firsthand.
If I do end up going to europe I may consider buying one over there, but it would depend on how long I planned to spend there.
This was a big week. I hope to make something of myself at this new company.
