Email with TLJ:

S: Hey TLJ!!!
Wanted to talk more to you last night – I hope you went to bed after talking to me but I bet you stayed up longer, didn’t you????
I read some more of Kid Eternity – excellent read – I wonder if you will ever try and read a good story in the comic book form? A good story is a good story right?
Anyway – still not sure if I’m coming down today – I can’t get in touch with anyone – it doesn’t look good for today I’m afraid.
Hope you are having a fabulous time – I think I’ll call you soon…..
I may have to go back to the podiatrist again as my knee is hurting again…..oh well.
Love to you angel boy

T: Oi, I’m having trouble running WebTrends on our NT Servers – it uses up 100% CPU most of the time, and doesn’t respond.

S: What were you doing just before this? Does it run at 100% as soon as you open it or did you kick off some process first?

T: I don’t know what the problem is – I don’t know whether it has to load log files which are held on another machine

S: Which machine? The Intranet Web Server? Is the file in use? Does the user who is logged on have permission to access the log files? You are definitely pointing to the right place?

T: – I’ve mapped a drive to a zip drive somewhere else, but i don’t see why this should be a problem.

S: Is the zip drive doing any I/O that you can see – if it is then it’s a reasonable assumption you have access to the files and it could just be taking a long time. Why are the files on a zip disk? Why not on a hard drive somewhere?

T: Any ideas? Should I try troubleshooting?????????????????

S: Yes! that’s what you will be doing…

T: Just trying to use that term that you taught me.

S: Very good – remember computers is 20% knowledge 80% bullshit. You’ll hear a lot about the 80/20 rule.

T: Don’t know what I should do.

S: Go to lunch of course!

T: Help. Also, I want to know whether open toe shoes or boots will be in this season.

S: I think open toes was last season and boots will be back briefly until it’s back to the very casual flip flops!

T: And whether I should ask out this girl I like.

S: Of course not – homosexuality is against the will of God!

T: Confused.

S: and Gorgeous!

Good Morning! – 8th February 1999

Email with TLJ:

S: Hope you are feeling OK today after your weekend of drunken debauchery!
I also hope you can come out and play with me tomorrow night and go and see the Necks.
Are you doing anything tonight – maybe I can give you a lift home (not too late though – you don’t wanna get grounded!). Hey when’s your sis moving out? Oh, and I remembered why HJ called you a boy…..
Love to you angel
Shaun-ee

T: tell me now or i’m never seeing you again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S: OK, well it was becaues eh hadsjor0e9^(*% 2347908-&)*(^ OH;lhjoiy……did you get that?

T: please – was coming back from the art gallery and wondering why he called me a boy.

S: Actually no real reason WHY he called you that it was more that I remembered what we were talking about.

T: Went to see art express at lunch and was going to see modern lovers – but i didn’t have time.

S: What’s modern lovers?

T: Also wanted to see the warhol exhibition at the musem of contemporary art – on march 6th, if you present your nokia mobile phone, you can get in free!!! so your mobile had better be a nokia.

S: I have a nokia. what day is march 6th? Do you want me to go or just my phone??

T: Still haven’t heard about tomorrow yet. Saw Katya’s drawing (nat’s friend). It was soo good – you’d love it.

S: I wanna see it. I wanna see you!!!

T: Why did Hj call me a boy???????????????????????????????????

Awesome – 6th February 1999

Email with TLJ:

S: Did I ever tell you how awesome you are?
HJ rang me this morning…..kinda….he was way cute! Can’t wait to see him on Saturday. I gotta come up with some new things to do with him – both at home and out – any ideas?
Thanks for the best night – I’m sorry I had to drag you home. I’m feeling bouncy and full of beans this morning – despite the lack of sleep – and who knows I may even go swimming this afternoon!
Awesome!Awesome!Awesome!
Love to you kitty-cat

T: Hey, I wanna come meet you in Chatswood when you get off work for a few hours.
But I don’t want to disturb you from swimming.
so what shall we do?
Mail me – what time are you getting off work, then I’ll come meet you – and if you want to go swimming, you can take me home.
See ya soon?

S: Miss you muchly this morning……..
Love to be wrapped in your love…..can we do it all again…..everyday?
Next Week:
8th – the Necks
9th – the Necks
11th – Hosemobile
12th – Hosemobile Cat Power
13th – Cat Power
I’m thinking of the 9th, 12th (hosemobile) and the 13th. Can you come with me to any of these?
Mail me, call me – everything me.
You know, I feel sorry for your uni friends at CSC – wish I could help in some way…..
Did I help you last night? I hope I did a bit. And sorry I bit your head off – you can have it back now……

T: You said you were coming to the city sometime this week, but I guess not. I really wanted to meet you for lunch and go see art express. If you don’t come see it with me, someone else will, or I’ll go myself. Please come see it with me.

S: I have to come down for a meeting on Mon or Tues – maybe we could catch the train in together whichever day it is – and I’ll see if I can stay around til lunchtime.

T: You were a great help last night – thanks. Sorry for being SOO annoying, but if you don’t like it, we can make like a banana and split.

S: I do like it – you can be as annoying as you like and I will still love you madly. (But don’t try it….!)

T: Anyway, am keen to see some of those bands (The Necks and Catpower), and if you don’t mind, I might ask some of my tour friends along.

S: That’s cool – why not. Do you think they will be funny about me (or will I be sitting somewhere else?)

T: I think you’ll like some of them (seeing as they’re Asian girls and all).

S: Yes, cos asian girls are intelligent aren’t they?

T: Oh, and that thing you forwarded to me – I’ve got a lot to say about it.

S: Compared with white/white ratio I think the whole white/yellow thing is blown out of proportion. People are attracted to all sorts of particular physical things – thinness, fatness, tallness, shortness, etc – why not a cultural one if it fits that person’s idea of beautiful? Do you think you would think the same thing if you weren’t Asian?

T: mail me, have a good night tonight, give Hayden a kiss for me.

S: I will give HJ a kiss from you. I miss you baby and wish I could come and see you today. I’m sorry if you got in trouble last night. Please come see me sometime on the weekend. And, hey, let’s do lots of mad exciting stuff too!

WebTrends – 4th February 1999

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Email with TLJ:

S: Did you find out about the network setup of the servers today?

T: Yup, there is absolutely no connection between the internal and external servers – everything goes through a switch,

S: Do you know how this works? I don’t understand (cos I’m a dummy!). Diagram? Internal server=intranet? External=internet? Switch in-between?

S: I hope you are having a good afternoon and that the sun is shining in the windows somewhere.
” Take the sameness out of your days. Give each day a specific purpose. What do you want to accomplish at work that will bring you one day closer to your financial goals? How do you intend to keep yourself healthy? What fun things can you look forward to doing today? How can you make someone else’s day better than it might be?
For unsuccessful and unhappy people, there is often a boring sameness to their days. Is it Monday or Thursday? It doesn’t matter. Is it March or November? It doesn’t matter. Is it 3 o’clock in the afternoon or 10 o’clock in the morning? It doesn’t matter.
Everybody has the same amount of time each day. How are you going to spend your 24 hours today?”
Guo Nian!

T: Is this goodbye?

S: Celebrate the (New) Year!

T: was waiting for a call from the guy upstairs – need to show him some sample reports and go through what he wants, but he hasn’t called yet and I hope he doesn’t because I want to go home at 5, and I’d prefer to do it when I’m feeling a little less groggy.

S: Why you groggy? Hey – wanna go to Art Express after uni tomorrow?

T: I know you won’t get this til tomorrow anyway, but the news was filming in Martin Place today and I walked straight past the cameras without realising. I only realised when I saw the cameraman behind me. I think I was out of the shot anyway, cause I was walking along the left side of the path.
I was on TV when I was in 2nd grade (7) for this mini Olympics that our school held. Mike Willisee was hosting, and I was up-front carrying the banner for my team “Fantasia” – we were blue and gold. Then I was on TV because I had to pretend to be a reporter and interview this guy in my grade who had just won a race. His name was Dean and he was a really naughty boy. He had white hair and a husky, throaty voice and moles. Anyway, Aisan brought up the fact that she had the video the other night at the tour reunion video night, and I had fun reminiscing about it. We’ve got the
video somewhere, and I gotta say, I was cute in that video!!! I had long hair too.
Want to show you, but I don’t know where it is.

S: YES!!!! You have to show me – I wanna see you when you were cute!
Got in at 7.04 this morning – still no parking spot! Didn’t wanna get up this morning….
I’ll probably go to physio about 3.30 or 4.00 so I get out of there in a reasonable time – you wanna do something or wait til Thursday – or will you be out with your uni friends on Thursday?
Hope you are not feeling so groggy today baby.
Ciao-bella

Thank You – 3rd February 1999

Email with TLJ:

S: What’s up sweety? you sounded so sad
I could feel your bottom lip a-quiver
Have I done something real bad?
Maybe something I failed to deliver?
So this poem I will send
As a thank you for your effort
The time that you spent –
I will not forget it.

T: Tell me what it is with old guys called Shaun from the UK that go after L*** girls??????????????????????
N* was telling me about this guy at Pure Pop called Shaun from Scotland who’s 25 who was going after her at the nightclub on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S: Have you heard my Scottish accent?
L*** Girls are the best! But you are the tops!

Long email – 1st February 1999

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Email with TLJ:

T: Thank you very much for the long email. I was getting very tired – I never have anything to do in the afternoon – especially Fridays.

S: And I think a trip to Kiama would be a nice fun day out and a trip up the mountains again – this time we’ll go a bit earlier though and on a sunny day.

T: Chris – the guy I work with – is going to this show in Kiama on the weekend – it’s supposed to be like a little royal easter show.
I keep listening to your voicemail and laughing – you sound pathetic. I think it’s the breathing that makes you sound so perverse – listen to it again.
Anyway, how come you didn’t ring me before you left. I was looking up things on the internet and getting very tired.

S: How was your party last night? Hope you had fun and got back in time for plenty of sleep – somehow I think you’ll still be tired this morning. I am damn tired too plus my left eye hurts!

T: Were the Cardiacs on the internet???? Hope you got to see them.

S: I couldn’t get through this morning. It was only audio too – not video. there’s been a few emails saying how great they were.
Thinking about going swimming at lunchtime – help motivate me!

T: Come see me for lunch instead!

S: I want to come down into the city one day this week – Brad in Melbourne wants me to pick up the last copies of that Miracleman book I found cheap just opposite Centrepoint.

T: I remember why I’m mad at you now – it’s because you called me a drama queen and you were really serious – and nobody’s called me that before and i hate drama queens. Please tell me you don’t mean it. Anyway, if i’m one then
you are one too cause you’re just as bad as me! And if you’re a drama queen, then i won’t like you cause you are one, and you’d be a hypocrite as well – and i don’t like them either. So you have to take the comment back or i can’t like you and you insulted me as well – so you have to apologise.

S: Are you mad at me? How long have you been mad at me? You’re not really a drama queen but you’ve got a great pout. If I have to apologise then I’m sorry. Are you still mad at me now?

T: Anyway, really hope to see you soon – and look, it’s nearly time for morning tea.

S: I look forward to seeing you too sweety.

T: Join me for morning tea.
PS – mail me a long email now.

S: Hmmm…this is all I gots time for just now – more later….
Did you have a good day yesterday? I wonder if you didn’t come round because you asked me what we would do and I said I didn’t know….anyway, I thought of something to do and then fell asleep and when I woke up and spoke to you, you weren’t coming – so we could do it some other time – nothing fantastic but would’ve been cool and fun. Anyway – Hayden was cute last night – I gave him a bath and read him his bedtime stories. He fell asleep instantly! Miss you babe – mail me soon!

T: I kinda miss you,

S: Is that good or bad? What are you doing today?

T: and I had this really weird dream where I was really slack to you (but you deserved it). Anyway, I woke up and thought that it was a good thing it was just a dream cause I’d never treat you like that in real life, would I?

S: ……..

T: Sorry I didn’t speak to you last night – was pretty tired and watched the end of the Scarlet Letter and went to bed. Anyhow, I’m really tired this morning. Saw Robert walking to work this morning. Spoke to him for a while.
Did you ring me at 6:50 last Friday? got a message but someone just hung up. Anyway, how late are you going to be tonight?

S: No I don’t think I rang and I wouldn’t hang up anyway. Not sure what time I’ll be – why?

T: How’s Hayden and Bronwyn? Hope they had fun. Anyway, probably won’t see you next weekend but I’ll try.

S: Did you get the last email I sent (this morning)? Hope you have fun

Site updates – 26th January 1999

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Email with TLJ:

T: I performed a site update today – well, most of it was run from a batch script BUT I only had to be shown once.

S: What! You are actually doing some work! Good for you!

T: Anyway, thanks very much for meeting me for lunch today – I had heaps of fun.

S: Me too – always a pleasure to be in your company – even when you tell me you’re having s*x with someone else!

T: You have to come when it’s sunny so we can sit in Hyde Park or walk to the art gallery when Art Express is on.

S: Is Art Express on already – I saw it advertised on TV – but, yes – let’s go. I may have Hayden on the 18th (Thursday) as Bronwyn has to go somewhere – maybe we could come and meet you?

T: Please, please, please come meet me with Hayden.

S: OK! May have to make it a 12 o’clock lunch so that I can get him home for his sleep though.

T: Hope you’re having fun at work.

S: Only just got here!

T: Sorry, I can’t pick you up tonight – you know I would if I didn’t have soccer.

S: Yeah yeah yeah whatever. Fine.

T: But I will try and see you tonight ok?

S: ALLLLLLLLLLRRRRIIIGGHHHHTTTTTT!!!!!!

T: I’ve had an awful day already – late in for work (well, 10 to 9, so I’ll have to work back a bit – and it’s Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I got deodorant on my Jigsaw dress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m also really tired and hope I don’t get a headache. Still have to get Kath a present – wouldn’t have a clue what to get.

S: I’m sorry baby – if you need a cuddle to cheer you up my arms are always open.

T: Watched Jerry Sadowitz – it seemed funnier the first time.

S: You need to watch it in my fine company – that’s the difference.

T: La Haine’s on tonight I think – ABC 9:30,

S: I should tape it then!

T: I can’t find my La Haine tape so I want to watch it. I hope the guys come round tonight – otherwise I won’t see Andrew before he leaves – but he’s probably still packing

S: I hope you get to see them too. I love the way you love your friends.
Hey – Cardiacs are playing three gigs in London – Friday, Sat and Sun. Fri’s and Sun’s are going out live on the internet! Got to get up at 6am to listen to them! That’s gonna be hard!
Love to you angelcakes

T: Hey, I don’t have anything to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S: then go and ask someone for something to do! Aren’t you fixing up the website, learning HTML etc etc?

T: Come meet me for lunch, and email me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

S: Too late – I’ve had lunch now! Oh well, please accept this email instead.

T: What did you do last night???

S: Last night I bathed in the ecstasy of you. Everything else after that paled into insignificance.

T: What are you doing tonight???

S: Taking it easy I think. I want to go swimming tomorrow morning, as well as waking up to hear Cardiacs

T: What are you doing at work right now??

S: Writing this mail to you, eating a sandwich and trying to get the SNMP traps sent from Patrol to our test TNG box

T: Hope you’re having fun.

S: Life is fun with you in my life. Thank you!

T: Will have to look for Kath’s present at lunch – but I’m too tired.

S: I hope you figured something out!
You know you went 57 days last month! – You’ve screwed up the chart completely!!!

20th Oct 2024 – The timeline is out of whack for these emails and they would’ve happened over a period of a few days too. I’m not sure what the comment about 57 days refers to.

Hyphen – 25th January 1999

~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Email with TLJ:

S: You and your hyphen!
Here’s my last message if you didn’t get it already:
Have you looked in the Yellow Pages too?
Someone else has suggested Connect Infobahn (CIA) and Realnet if you can find anything on them.
Hope you are having a relaxing lunch break and are keeping busy at work.

T: Yeah, got both your messages – don’t you have anything decent to say?????
Ok, checked out connect, connect infobahn – had trouble with realnet.
Anyway, don’t know what to look for – they’re all kinda similar.

S: Well you understand that this email system must only contain work-related information so NO – I don’t have anything decent to say!
Anyway – what do you need to know – ie what is the objective? Draw up a table of each provider and write some recommendations on which you think would provide the best service related to the requirements RBA has?
How does that sound? I suppose it could be Reelnet? Maybe?
Love ya babe!

T: No, it’s realnet – found stuff, but not what I want. Anyway, sticking with the efficient T**** that I’ve recently discovered,

S: Does this efficient T**** do ironing and washing up?

T: I’ve already drawn up a table for each ISP with pricing plans and stuff. Pretty good huh? Only problem is that I don’t really know what the RBA requirements are. Like avg no of hours they will need, and number of users, downloading
requirements etc.

S: FIND OUT!!!!

T: And don’t call me babe

S: OK, babe.

T: using organisational resources for such trivial purposes is a waste of valuable time and money!!!!

S: You quoted that out of the handbook right!?

T: Besides, it’s not very professional. oh, and Jeff got his scholarship back!!!!!!!!!!

S: Jeff’s luck?

T: Anyway, don’t know what time you will get this – mail sweeper checks outgoing and incoming mails, and the time on the top is all wrong.

S: What does it actually check? For viruses and attachments? Does it look for keywords too?
Hope you are having a great morning. It was such a delight to see you last night.

T: I knew I was picking up the word delightful from someone.

S: I found a cockroach in my backpack this morning – luckily it was dead – jeez – if my food kills cockroaches imagine what it’s doing to me……

T: I know, it’s making you fat…………
Hope you haven’t tried ringing me cause Svati (1st year IT) was showing me around, and then we went for lunch (just over 1 hour). But all I’ve done today is find my way around to the server room and stuff, and Svati explained some of the intranet code to me – Svati was helpful but I’m sure I’ll forget it all. Anyway, today I’m really tired – was feeling really bad
and didn’t want to come into work. So it’s just as well I haven’t done much.
tonight I’ll have to get an early night. Won’t even be able to make it to Pat’s for the video night. I really want to go though.

20th Oct 2024 – I’m not quite sure if TLJ was working directly for RBA as part of another work experience component of her university course, if this was direct employment or if RBA was a client for another company she was working for.
