Yogyakarta Earthquake

Sunday, May 28th, 2006

I am increasingly concerned about the safety of some of my friends from the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta in central Java as I have been unable to contact them.

My friends cellular telephone rang out when I tried to call, however they may have simply been unable to get the phone especially if they had to get out of their home in a hurry. I know their house and I am not confident that it would have survived, however they are north of the city centre and the news is saying that most of the damage is in the south.

Like with every earthquake, each time I read the news the death toll has climbed higher.

Moving on

It’s fair to say that I have not been happy with my work with Post.

I enjoy the work, I enjoy the social interaction with some really really good people that I work with and I particularly enjoy the flexibility that starting and finishing early gives me.

Having said that, I do not enjoy having to go to work when I am not feeling well simply because I cannot get someone to replace me. I also don’t like the increasing conditions that they are placing on us, such as needing to give 6 months notice if you want to take time off.

It’s running costs that are really killing me now though. That and a slow decrease in my revenue base is making this job increasingly difficult.

Once I used to make a comfortable living off the work, the last two years I have been barely surviving.

With that in mind I have decided that I will no longer do the post deliveries.

It is something that I have been thinking about for the last five or six months but last week I decided that enough was enough.

I don’t know when I will finish up. My contract is up for renewal at the end of next month so I may leave then or I might wait until the end of October. I also have no idea what I will do next but I am not worried about that as I have a couple of good leads and I can always find work of some description.

Still, having made a definite decision to go has taken a weight off my mind.

It’s returning soon

Login Error

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

At the risk of counting ones chickens before they have hatched I believe I may have fixed the login problem that I was having before

In the administration for the module that controls the login there is a URL redirect section that tells the module where to send users once they have logged in. If this field is left blank it should return users to the front page after login.

I changed this field just adding a forward slash / and it appears to be working.

If you still have login issues please let me know.
