After a weekend (and preceding week) like this one needs to recover properly Lets start with last Sunday: The boulder hunting expedition (“aka Things to do while you’re trying not to worry about whether she likes you or not”) I had Monday off, thus making myself a nice long weekend (Tuesday was Woman’s day).

My project entailed updating software I wrote some 6 years back called “Problem Solving and Decision...
I once heard someone say that during times of hardship great music is made -judging by what I’m seeing on the SA circuit we’ve had a pretty shitty couple of years I just came across this clip from the band The Slashdogs : How are those beards ?!
