Sailing

So Friday I took to the water with some workmates. I have to admit I’d never been sailing before, especially on a 6 tonne beauty as we did. It was wonderful! In between pulling ropes and navigating (I’m a natural!) I sat right up the front, on the litttle bit that pokes out the front of the boat, feeling every move the boat made. Quite a pleasant day, and then I had to unpack all evening for easter BBQ preparation.

The FTA petition is going ok. Only 612. We had the first 300 or so in the first 24 hours, and we really need several thousand for it to be worth the effort. We are still getting the word out, will probably slashdot it this week, and see how we go. The comments being made are incredibly good though. I recommend anyone interested in this to take the issue to their work. Any Australian owned company who writes _any_ software should get behind this, and once explained the issue, several companies are starting to realise the implications. Signatures are good, but letters and such are also recommended. We have a page up with what you can do so people can help.

Horseriding today. I feel almost selfish actually doing some stuff for myself this weekend 🙂 Still need to catch up on LA stuff, but am well on the way. Between LA, OSEG, work, study (caught up this weekend, I was 6 lectures behind), kung fu, trying to organise media training and a whole plethora of stuff, I’m constantly realising the extent of what I’ve taken on, but I’m enjoying it all heaps. The only downfall is I’m starting to get RSI again, ah well, back to the physio 🙂 it is all good.
