The University of Sydney and your Russian Ranger Tim

Hey, guys!

You missed the opportunity to meet two your teammates and have a good breakfast and a good conversation, I hope next time I'll see more people.

Veebee gave me his laptop so now I'm fully equipped. Thank you, John, for organizing this! I've installed 2 GB of memory and my XP just flies on it, no  problems! Heh, my professor works at Core2Duo desktop but it has lots of additional software and services running in background, so Veebee's laptop now responds much faster and looks like fully-contemporary station  >:D. I'm going to connect it to the abc@home project, it will be listed as "Nexus" :cool:

Thank you guys, thank you Veebee for the warm welcome!

Live long and crunch! :aus1:

aha ! good to see you online and here in the forum mate !

we shall try to organise a "get-together"  for the Sydney members...

.. maybe a Christmas lunch or something?  we have plenty of time to work it out, but I think it would be good!

Also, glad the laptop is running well for you... my son had all sorts of EVERYthing on it.. when it started up, it would take forever to stop loading up all sorts of silly little programs...

AWESOME!
Welcome to Australia!

Make sure you let the rest of us know if you ever get time off from Uni, and decide to travel around the country a bit.
I'm sure you will find you have friends all over the place looking to catch up for a pizza and a coke - or prawns and snags!

I hope I get to catch up with you one day.

Always a bed up here in the bush if you need somewhere to stay for a couple of nights if you are in the area.

Yep same applies here. I'm a few hours drive north of teamac, so if you ever decide to tour up the east coast, you'll find plenty of places to stay ;D

I was in the middle of a very ordinary afternoon....

my pain meds were reduced from ( a max of) 24 mg morphine Sulphate every hour (and I used most of that)... (equates to 288 mg in 12 hours)

down to a 40mg slow release tablet (every 12 hrs) and 10 mg Endone (morphine) every 4 hrs (equates to only 70 mg per 12 hrs..)...

and this reduction was done "instantly"... not a slow reduction over a day or two..

So, 5 pm saw me awake due to the most severe burning pain in my left hip, groin and thigh that I have had for a long long time. Embarrassingly it actually brought me to tears.. thank goodness it was time for a 10 mg dose, which kicked in around 20 mins later... about that time, my partner and my two boys walked in,and 10 mins later ....


IN STRODE RANGER TIM !!!

we had a great time, Tim is such a nice guy, great sense of humour and best of all, he had a look at my daughters laptop I am using whilst in here... getting rid of some of the rubbish which appears in most windows installs and the little lappy now responds much better !

Better than THAT even, was the fact we had a few good laughs, and even though the act itself hurts, the resultant "chemicals" n my blood worked nicely to make me feel better.

So I would like to once again, say : WELCOME TO AUSTRALIA Tim, and thanks fpr your well wishes.

I would like to propose that we (the members around Sydney etc) organise a day to get together with Tim... maybe there's a computr fair ir something coming up over chrissy holidays ?

I will be out of action for a few weeks yet, but am keen as mustard to help some more of you guys meet him... he is already a "top bloke" in my books !
