When I was Project Manager for my old workplace’s move to their new location, I learnt a secret Telstra number. This number basically told you what physical line you were calling from - if there’s a dial tone when you pick up the phone, it’s “connected” but not necessarily “enabled”. This is important for them because they can have connected numbers that people can still get through to Telstra on, to get their phone connected when they first move in, for example.
Anyway, as time went by I forgot the number. I recently was in a situation when I wish I knew the magic number, but I couldn’t for the life of me remember it. For some reason, yesterday afternoon it just came to me, and I wrote it down. If you’re bored, pick up a phone and dial 12722123. It’ll tell you which physcial number you’re calling from. I think that’s handy, albeit rarely.
For the weekend, I had curry at Glara’s place on Friday, which was fantastic. Saturday I went flying, and Saturday afternoon, while upgrading my plane, broke it. Now I’m in a difficult position - I don’t know exactly whether to buy the cheap-ish part I broke, or to use the opportunity to upgrade the plane, buying a better version of the part I broke (the Rx), which in turn requires a better Tx and better servos. You can see my dilemma.
Sunday I don’t really remember.
Monday I went out to the park with M&D, family friends G&R, Woo, Abby and Simba. Woo had a few goes flying his new plane, which I launched for him, and we had a picnic in the park. Abby was a moron and barked ferociously at any other dog that dared to want to use the park also. It’s going to be a while before M&D can train that out of her, she literally loses her mind when another dog’s in site/smell/hearing distance.
