After a late night our good intentions of attending the earlier talks went out the window as they do every year lol We finally got over to the centre in time for Rich's talk, he was as entertaining as ever although a good chunk of it was a rerun of the apex breakfast. A bit more looking on the floor and we hooked up with Synergy, checking out their overflow. It's the one that Wayne B was wanting and had to order from here. They are awesome people and I think we...

The first big day of actual MACNA. We headed for the convention centre in time to go to the Apex breakfast and to see the launch of Jim Welsh's alk gizmo. We knew it was coming cos he told us on Tues but it was a surprise to find he had also expanded it to also do Calc and Mg.

We got the Cafe Monde first and watched them making the beignets which was a...

Back to our room and a short kip turned out to be u til 3pm! We don't seem to be adjusting as well as usual this year. A quick Google and we headed off in search of a bottle store. We get 25% off in the bar but the prices are still more than we are looking to pay for every drink. It's warm, much like our summers ...

Due to the potential of delays with traffic and new security arrangements at the airport we set off early. Val picked us up at 6am, a good run saw us checking in way ahead of our flight. We spent our time at the QANTAS lounge having a leisurely breakfast. Once we boarded the plane we were pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't, as usual, fully loaded. There was a spare seat beside us and another two spares across the aisle This year we opted for premium econom...
