"Office Space" is one of my favourite movies – it's so much like working at Telstra (& many other large corporations – but mostly Telstra :)

Home to loving family, some cheese to nibble then bangers & mash for dinner – no rice for 24 hours :) :)

Winds have picked up too early – not safe for ballooning – back to sleep for me :)

Shutting down to check out of the hotel in the fields then go to a client site and then to the airport for the long flights home
#
Back in Melbourne – almost empty flight – had space, great service but food was crappy – great (if busy) time away but glad to be back :)

Watched a small aircraft doing aerobatics near the hotel – too far to photograph – loops, barrel rolls, aileron rolls, cuban-8s – fun! #

#
I *think* the aircraft was an SA-202 Bravo from the Indonesian Air Force (basic trainer) – will have to blog my proof/reasoning :)

Just been upstairs at the new place watching a very red sunset & listening to cicadas, gekos, frogs & the call to prayer – amazing #

#
Just watched a formation of 6 trainers go over – sounded like turboprops so I think they were KAI KT-1's (no wingpods to be Super Tocanos)

Excellent news re: @
matthallracing
getting 2nd place in Perth – yay!
#
Congrats also to @
stevevisscher
of @
pcdu
for keep us updated during the race – now go record some interviews & the post-race presentation :)
#
Right, time for me to head to the pool so I can soak out the last of the hangover & cool off a bit before doing some shopping later #
fb
#
Having some food down the road – fortunately they do breakfast all day (it's 3pm here) #

#
My GPS (old eTrex) has a huge problem locking onto satellites in Indonesia – most annoying :(
#
Internet access in Indonesia is annoying – sites work fine then you get DNS errors then they work again – looks like bad filtering #

Indonesian's love karaoke – for me, I have to be very drunk to get into that – now recovering from last night's "End of Workshop" event :)
#
Midday call to prayer going off – the ones near this hotel sound harsher on the ears than the ones near the office or back in Jakarta

Massive thunderstorm rolling around & over us has lead to yet another power cut – at least there's a breeze & the beer was still cold :) #

Internet connectivity is pretty bad here & it's not helped by all too many power failures – welcome to the jungle (no really, we are :)
