Now some of the northern hemisphere people will not understand. But those of you from the deep south will appreciate, that the onset of spring does not immediatly imply good weather.
Infact, as it has now been raining for 2 days without a break, I would say, surely by now, the rain quota for the year has been fullfilled. Why is it that wherever I move, that country immediatly manages to set all time records for wind, rain and least number of hours of sunshine.
COME ON SUMMER, I'M READY FOR YOU!
P.S. My better half however, keeps reminding me to appreciate this unpredicable weather, because when summer comes, she predicts only one type of weather, "melty".

Timewasting
If you are ever in the fortunate position of having too much time on your hands, then all you need is a Suse 11 install CD, and an old mac IBook.
Guaranteed to use up all of your time, until you realise that your mission is futile.

The beardy man
So the funny man, beardy wizard of bristol is in Sydney next week.
He was on telly yesterday too, pluggin his show.
Unfortunatly I can find no-one to join me, as my better half has to dedicate the beginning of the weekend to be better prepared to teach those who wish not to be taught.

New Toy
I've wanted one of these back in 2003.
They cost €1000 back then.
Unfortunatly, I forgot to get a monitor first.
Now it's sat there, and I can't get into it! Argh!

Its been a long time coming
So, it's been a busy week, and no posts.
Now that we've told all the relatives that need to know, it's safe to tell the world.
Yes, K and Myself are engaged.
I popped the question after a Kasey Chambers Gig at the lovely state theatre in Sydney.
And she was, for a short time, quite speechless.
So now it's all go, trying to figure out what's next, and how and where we do what!

Oh please!!
As if it's any suprise...
The BBC reports that the little chinese who was an integral part of the Beijing Olypic ceremony, as watched by close to 1 Billion people was actually miming!
Really! What country would let the fate of their opening ceremony lie in the hands of some cutesy singing kid.

One of those days
IF, you ever buy a packard bell laptop. Please ensure that you buy enough replacement batteries to last you the lifetime of the computer. My laptop now lasts about 1 minute off of the power, enough time to transfer plug sockets.
Yesterday, after 2 months waiting for delivery, I received a replacement battery from packard bell. Only to find that it wouldn't fit in the slot of my computer. Now I'm curious as to how the Battery Configurator touted on their site as "100 % guaranteed" managed to configure the incorrect battery, and why when I check it now, it's suggesting another incorrect battery. And better still, when you switch the online shop to german, it's in a mix of german and dutch!
Oh, and don't try to find a contact email on their site... there's only a british phone number where the phone monkeys are trained to say, "Let me ask my supervisor".
The supervisors.. are also monkeys... but they have typewriters.
