Well half of "today" was spent sleeping in, woke up only in the noon due to some
recent change in hours, probably due to a temporary adaption to AEST
After cracking the whip to ensure the Mods & Admins of some
newish forum in Ozzieland
do their bloody jobs, I did some long overdue shopping - duty free that is, across the border
to a tiny town called
Jestetten for some essential items, mainly ciggies, some meat & Amazon goods (
SSD ) since they do not deliver here to this tiny country.


I noticed a billboard at a connecting railway station - it seems my
ISP is yet again flogging a much overpriced product (
I get it for CHF29 a month no contracts unlimited Cable coax aka NBN HFC - NTD = Technicolor TG3492LG-LC ) to the clueless folk here with a rather high and poor
Contention Ratios. If these peeps only knew of options available to them.


There appeared to be an unusual number of French speaking visitors to this part
of the tiny country where German is typically spoken. It then dawned upon me that
today was still the
Federal Fast Monday for these folk & that tomorrow would be
Mauritius Day, not forgetting that Friday 25th will be the
St. Nicholas of Flüe holiday & hence an opportunity to shop duty-free, if not downright smuggling
My Canton of Zürich has long run out of public holidays with nothing slated prior
to DST change on Sunday 25th October.
So I returned with the duty-free loot, prepared dinner after updating Linux kernels on
several machines as well as remote ones, decided to post this off
