Various follow-ups

[trixtah]

• Got my Aussie Medicare card! Yay!!! Now I can actually visit the doctor without paying through the nose, which will be good, because my knee is giving me severe gyp. It's been raining these last couple of days, and I'm wondering if there's a link, because it's been pretty decent for ages.
• Am I the only person who attends tai chi and gets stressed out by the meditation music? Fuck, I hate that stuff. If I feel like listening to sounds while practising at home, I listen to ambient dub. It works really well, and it least it goes somewhere.
• Also, when you're getting your energy moving, it gives you this lovely prickly sensation. I'm used to it in my hands - I didn't need tai chi to feel it there - but when it's extending to your upper arms and you've got roughish seams in your t-shirt, it irritates. Apparently, if you can sustain it, your whole body gets to feel that way. Oh joy.
• At least the 50-ish guy with the pot belly and the chicken legs has stopped wearing an old form-fitting rugby jersey and tight leggings. Standard trackie-daks are much less distracting.
• I just found out that the ACT Libraries have online subs to zillions of excellent resources, including the OED!!1! *SQUEEE!* The only problem is that due to the ports they use, I can't get access from work, but getting it from home is just dandy. I would have liked to have known this a year ago, however.
  
• We finally got the Red Hat guy in to review my Postfix implementation. There are 5 pages of system build (which the Unix guys did for me) recommendations, and ONE page of Postfix stuff to consider (moi). There are no outstanding issues with what I did. Bloody good result, although I hope the implication isn't that Postfix is so idiot-proof that it's hard to completely stuff it up. :-)
  
• Finally, while I'm blowing my own horn, my SIUD post about life, the universe and everything for the budding and not-so-budding dyke has been linked from the community info page. Heh. It's nice to be appreciated. *blush*
