and so, the inevitable happens, it\'s back to work we go. Actually, it\'s quite nice to be back, it felt like a very long holiday this time. It\'s also good to be able to progress with the shout which was held up until I got back. Now I\'ve just got to finish it....

OU stuff is progressing slowly. I didn\'t get as much done last week as I was predicting, ran out of steam after wednesday. Begun reading again today, it\'s quite enjoyable in a yawn worthy way, I want to learn the stuff it just seems to take so much to sink in. Must get on with the tma though, only 1 1/2 weeks left and still mucho to do.

We think we\'ve solved the router issue although I still have my fingers crossed. It took a messenger upgrade (the new version is pretty cool) to fix it. Still left with a slight lagging problem, hopefully just a firewall issue but we will have to see.
