Amazon S3

Moving months of HD movies from S3 to save some money. AmazonS3 is an excellent storage facility but once you you get some serious TB action, the costs mount up pretty quickly. The cheaper option is to put everything in Glacier but then you have the problem of trying to retrieve stuff using the AWS console.

Morning

Slept straight through about twelve hours. Not surprising as I hadn't slept the previous two days. Long distance travel is exhausting unless you have the money to travel in first class.

Trying to sort out my room a bit. So much stuff. Great to have so much space to move around in.

Home

I made it back in one piece. Feels a bit strange to be here even though I have only been gone for a year. I tried everything I could to make it work but in the end, you have to know when it is time to move on.

Last Day

My last day here has arrived. I made up one last parcel today and sent it off. It will be months before it arrives but it was very cheap to send.

I seem to running a pretty big CloudFront bill. I've switched html logging off as it was already over one hundred thousand entries.

I won't have time to post for the next two days as I will be travelling.

Shoes

I booked the train this morning and started to dispose of the last few things I cannot bring back with me. This includes a pair of shoes I am fond of. They've barely had a year's wear but I can always buy another pair when I get home.

I spent most of the afternoon in the town office when it turns out I didn't really need to. Still, they are aware I am leaving now.

Tomorrow is my last day here and then it's time to finally go home.
