[Subject: SJC Network outage over the weekend]

Dear Johnians,

UQ ITS will be installing new equipment in the College over the weekend in preparation for an upgrade to the internet speed to the Colleges.

I am advised that the College will be offline from early Saturday morning until Sunday evening.

All computers will cease to talk to the network or the internet for the period we are offline. Your computers will regress to the early days of mass produced computers when we didn't even have modems, let alone network cards.

The ultimate date for activating the higher speed internet has yet to be determined. Hence, you will not notice any difference to current internet speeds when we go back online on Sunday evening.

Rev. Dr Howard Munro
Dean
St John's College

[Subject: Re: Baby's out]

Mark called yest. afternoon around 3pm and sounded very anxious..said he was told baby's heartbeat stopped and a lot of bleeding. Emergency op. He asked us to pray.

Prayed for safe delivery. I rang up Deb's mum, Julie, to tell her what happened. I was actually on my way out to collect the bank draft and to work but decided to stay home to wait for news. Had earlier offered to give M's hp no. to D's mum but she said no need so I was monitoring the situation alone.

Shortly after, at about 10.18pm, Riyadh time, (Sin 3.18pm), Mark msg to say baby out and ok. I then msg Deb's mum as she was sleeping to tell her the good news. She'd not ack. but will call her today. I left for Travelex to collect the draft and to work thereafter. Came home around 8pm. Thought of writing to you but my mind was v. tired.

[Subject: SOCY2020 essay topic]

Dear Jean,

Your topic "Are renewable sources of energy really viable alternatives to current non-renewable sources' will be fine. Your key points look logical... (etc etc)

Good morning captains! By now, you have probably received a confirmation email from Brisbane City Romp. The team names are Mates@UQ, More Mates@UQ and Even More Mates@UQ. Original, huh?

Thanks! Have a good weekend.
