Christchurch Earthquake

[trololololo]

My work has been red stickered.

Stink bro. Is it easy for them to reloacate?
We've been offered office space with one of our clients. All good and dandy but we can't do much without our client files on the server at work inside the cordon :<
Just waiting waiting until the boss gets the chance to go and pick it up.

When I phoned my work on wednesday morning I was told to come in to work and they didn't even ask how I was just told turn up to work. And I already had a hand injury that prevents me from working in the fatory till its healed, they had me sitting in a small office out back checking machine operating manuals work for spelling and grammer mistakes.

[trololololo]

The computers have already been retrieved apparently, having a meeting on Monday to find out more.  Relocating shouldn't be to hard.

good photos. From various photos and footage from town the car park im in should be fine... Apparently my work doesn't have a single crack o_O the internals are shaken up and shredded like a blender and every piece of glass that could break did break but none of the exterior glass or structure really got any damage o-o;;;

just out of curiosity, did anyone here go down moorhouse and notice the Harvey Norman building by the overbridge at the colombo st corner? kinda wondering how works building held up

Hah, you by close past me. We're not far from the strategy office. Fucking lucky to be in a realatively undamaged part of town.
You should see the knox church from the other side. Just 3 pillars barely holding the roof up.

Iv'e tried to get close Jonty but it's still no mans land. I think by Monday it should be a little more accessable by then.

Here is 2 pics of some missing things in Chch.

Shag Rock photo was take on the night of the Blood moon, 21st Dec 2010.

The Christchurch Catherdral was shot on the night of 21st February, just a mere 15 hours before it became a tragic part of Christchurchs history.

I love the photo of the Cathedral! That would surely be at least one of the last photos of that building ever taken.

[Growler]

Not my photo, but this is about 300m from my house.

[Spork]

Oh damn!

[Tiwaking!]

Not my photo, but this is about 300m from my house.

When I was 14 a friend of mine and I dug a trench to connect a septic tank to the main sewerage line. It was about half that length and the same depth, and took three days.

The earth dug it in seconds. That is such a staggeringly powerful and scary amount of force.

[trololololo]

my computer fell over during the quake and the 5870 fan is starting to die, time for third party cooling me thinks

[Machpants]

The Incredibro hulk from the vid a couple of pages ago getting deserved recognition

trololololo get EQC to pay for a new one.

My PC table collasped and trashed my PC so I have put a claim in with EQC to get it replaced, what really pissed my of was I had just spent $1500 on hardware upgrades for it 2 weeks before the quake

[trololololo]

It will be cheaper to get third party cooling.  About $100 for a cooler, eqc excess is $200.
