I'm missing the chilli cook-off

Well krystle and i went to the araluen chilli festival this year, and to be honest it was pretty crap.
1 The drive in was ridiculous, backed up about 7km, though there was a courtesy bus 5km out that we got on instead of parking closer.
2 it was hot. Krystle almost collapsed when we were in the (massive) queue for a german hot dog.
3 it was full of people. Lots of people.
4 no chilli con carne.

The good points were the taste testing when there was space to move, and the number of chilli plants to choose from (i got a hot, and extra hot plant).

So yeah, it would have been better if it was 10-15 deg cooler, and if we got there much earlier, but i can't imagine us going through that again next year.

Work complete

Well, as part of the change of companies on the wa police contract, the system i have worked on (created from scratch) the last year will be officially handed over to the other company at 5pm.
This is partly a good thing, as it was getting to the stage where development was getting boring, but it is sad because a lot of effort went into getting it to its current state.

I an here at police for 1 more month, when i'll be moved back to head office. Like most of the guys here i don't have an assignment to go to, but unlike most i have been given an internal project for a couple of months due to my reputation on this project, w00t.
I've also been contacted about a tender to use the project as a reference, so i'm getting a lot more recognition for the project than i thought i would after hearing we lost the police contract.
So yeah, out with the old, in with the new, and a month of boredom in between.
