After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing with the new provider, I had got the box in to a mostly workable state, and they had managed to get a system in place that allowed me to get out of any trouble with the boot loader not working.
With this in mind, I managed to work on the largest part of the migration, and then met up with Phuong and his friends for tacos and then coffee.
I headed back to the hostel for 11pm, where I skype called Derby, and got to chat with everyone else in the fammily for the christmas meet up.
That was rather special, seeing everyone who had lots of questions and were all very pleased to see me on screen.
We had a good laugh about various technical factors, and enjoyed catching up with each other - the Richardsons being boistrous and falling over each other.
