Snowy Trip


I’ve just returned to my normal work after spending a week down around the Snowy River.
The trip was to monitor changes to the vegetation along the Snowy and surrounding rivers due to the controlled flows of water.
It was good weather, and we got the work done quicker than expected. I even picked up a few prints from the Michael Scott Lees gallery in Jindabyne.

Austrostipa geoffreyi

Austrostipa geoffreyi
Not everyone gets a plant named after them. I have to admit I do feel special.
There’s even a page on the Spanish Wikipedia for Austrostipa.

GLiNTECH #19 in BRW Fast 100

David Bolton Strikes Again » GLiNTECH in BRW Fast 100
Dave already blogged about this a while back, but I thought I’d post it as well.
The company I work for (GLiNTECH) recently made the BRW Fast 100 which is a list of Australia’s definitive fastest growing small and medium businesses. Not only did we make it in, we came in at #19. Yay!
Good to see Atlassian (the people behind Jira and Confluence) coming in at #10.

Dates in filenames

I came across this handy little batch file that will let you save a file as today’s date:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=/ " %%i in ("%date%") do (
    set dow=%%i
    set month=%%j
    set day=%%k
    set year=%%l
)
set datestr=%year%-%month%-%day%
echo datestr is %datestr%

set BACKUP_FILE=BACKUP_%datestr%
echo backup file name is %BACKUP_FILE%
