111 days in New Zealand

Time flies, and I can hardly believe that it’s already been 111 days since I moved to Wellington. Though I have not yet traveled much (we barely started spring and I’m not a winter sport person), I have already experienced a fair amount of great things and events with a lot more to come. Here is just a short and definitely not exhaustive list of what has happened, where I have been, what I have done during the last 3.5 months (not necessarily in order; some repetitions):

  • started my job at Catalyst IT
  • being awed by Te Papa
  • Ignite Wellington
  • Nerdnite
  • WordCamp NZ in Auckland
  • gales aplenty
  • playing with OLPCs
  • Christchurch earthquake (felt it in Wellington)
  • bowling
  • BeerOClock (though I have yet to touch the beer; I prefer the spirulina or fejioa juices)
  • exploring Wellington
  • learning to shoot with my Canon DLSR
  • rapid weather changes
  • winter in July
  • eating lots of Indian food and sushi
  • wind

Expiration before the expiration date

It is nice that I am reminded to renew my membership in the library by January 2, 2010. But why the heck can’t I get into the interlibrary loan form when I am already logged in? I do need to renew my membership immediately though it is not up for another 54 days. It is just “approaching”. When I called the library, the renewal was done within seconds and the friendly person from the interlibrary loan department (he’s a gem getting articles really quickly and being helpful all the time) said there was nothing I could do besides the renewal.

Fortunately, the library did not leave a paper trail that would rival Alan’s experiences. ;-)
