I didn’t leave work until 19:35 tonight.

I got there at around 07:45.  Just under 12 hours.

Thats crazy.

The problem is, we’re getting that many calls and tickets in at the moment that it’s just all mounting up.  Today was one of those days where you just don’t seem to make any headway.  I think I managed to get through more work from 17:00-19:35 than I did for the entire day.  Just the chance to work through without interruption means you can get so much done.  I’m quite pleased with the progress I made and hopefully now things will level off and we can get through the rest of the week.

It’s funny – my back was really uncomfortable last night, woke up and it was much the same, most of the morning it felt like it needed cracking (like knuckles).  It seems to have eased off after we went for a walk at lunch.

Think I’ve decided on a direction for the linux box.  I think I’m going to either register a new domain or set up an A record and MX record for a new subdomain on a domain and work through setting up a mail server with various bits and pieces.  Once that’s setup I’m going to look at some sql and php development.

In other news, I’ve installed the new beta 2 of WordPress 2.7.  There are a bunch of changes to the back end and it looks really, really nice.  Awesome in fact.

There probably won’t be so many changes to the front end, maybe one or two new widgets but this is mainly a backend thing.  Really loving the new changes, it just looks so much more web 2.0 rather than the old fashioned interface.

I’m sleepy.
