Hello From Work

I've finally got around to adding a blog admin page to my blog. This means that I can now blog while I'm getting bored at work (I can't ssh to sucs from work :( ).
There are only three of us in the office today so we have the radio on. Unfortunately my two colleagues both want to listen to the cricket commentary. Oh well, at least its more interesting than the data migration I'm currently working on.
Yesterday my boss nagged me into working here for two days more than I was planning to. The project was set back so much that my contract ends slap bang in the middle of the busiest data migration. I'm only doing it because I feel sorry for them. Well, that and it's two extra days getting paid.
You may notice that my blog has changed slightly. I've recently added a blog calender which shows the current month and hilights the days that I've blogged on as links and I've also truncated the amount of text shown for each entry on the main blog page so that they act as previews. I got this idea from Dez who thought it would be a good feature for the SUCS blogs. Thanks Dez. I'm planning to extend the calendar so that it lists previous months and years. It should be quite easy since the php code of my blog scripts have turned out to be easily extendable.
We've just had a couple of hours of heavy rain here but now I can see blue sky out of the window. I hope it stays dry from now because I might be going on a pub crawl after work. My new bike is parked outside and must be soaked by now. Bicycles are water proof though.. aren't they?
