Crazy Driving

Don’t drive down this road unless you want to go into our car park

The narrow service lane next to our apartment block has been open for just a few days to allow car park access for us. The signage is not perfect but I can’t imagine why anyone would think it may be a through road…maybe the 20 kmph was the challenge

Watch this video of today’s efforts

Permit me some self indulgence

My book has hit #1 on Amazon US’s Business Management freebies list. I usually charge a couple of dollars and it sells at a slow but steady rate, whenever Amazon suggests I have it on sale (ie FREE), it flies out the door http://tinyurl.com/CIO100Book 

Time to update my other book on Internet safety and security..boring stuff but covering how not to get hacked, how to ‘hide’ from Facebook, Amazon, Google et al.

Dust problems

A few people have commented that today is a terrible day for dust coming from the work site. The good news is that the wind is largely from the north but it is still not great.

You can see how bad if you go here and forward to 10:35:40 am (see time in top right)

I contacted CYP and they said they’d have a water cart out there to help remedy it. It came past at 9:08 am just before they packed up and went home due to high temperature.

They did run the water cart over things – but hardly extensive. Here is a shot of the water cart in action..yep that’s all he did

Shortly after (25 minutes later). This is what it looked like – ground completely dry again

I understand that it will come back again – on Sunday

Public holiday Monday and RDO on Tuesday and so no work until Wednesday.
