Breakfast was had at the hotel restaurant. Again, nothing fantastic – just your usual cooked breakfast.
I found a geek shop wholesaler on line, so sent them my details to become a customer, so I could buy hardware to put in Townsville. They were on the way to the stadium, so very conveniently located. Everything was out there and ready for me to just pay for – excellent service with a smile! We replaced the 16 port switch, an 8 port switch, ADSL Modem / router and got a wireless access point, as I didn’t trust their old Sportsoft crap.
Out at the stadium we started the whole setup / configuration process. It was a long day. We had a break for lunch, at the shopping centre up the road. When I wanted a drink during the afternoon, the owner of the stadium charged me for it, which had me pretty pissed off, considering all the extra stuff we are doing out here for no charge. By the time the night started we had 1 player login screen running, 2 Datascore tablets, and 3 of their old crappy computers operating with Datascore (they originally had Sportsoft, and had been moved to Spawtz a while ago).
We stayed for most of the night. The Indoor Cricket umpires were fine on the new tablets. The netball was generally OK – a couple of hiccups, but nothing too difficult, and a lot of it is them understanding the new system. We picked up a pizza on the way home for dinner.
