(0)It’s Sunday arvo and after only two days and handling a few thousand megabytes of data, our ADSL routing modem has gone bust. Like, seriously: claim the warranty, RMA, return to manufacturer, scream obscenities at Netgear, bust. I know what I said about frying the modem, but this is ridiculous.
I’m currently connected to the net on dialup again. Stop laughing.
There’s an Indonesian restaurant in Maroubra called Kampoeng Rasa. The Ikan Bandeng Presto (softened milkfish) there is amazingly tasty.
You know what this means of course:
I HAVE BROADBAND!!!
It’s been over ten years on dialup, but finally broadband is mine. This connection is so going to be raped. The ADSL modem is going to be a smoking pile of ash before the week is out.
Touch the Queen, make the news. Almost touch the Queen, make the news as well. Protocol has been breached or almost breached in the past by a French guy, a Canadian guy, an American woman, and a couple Aussie guys.
(0)Apparently the 4 gig Muvo2 arrived in from the States today. It arrived in Camden and is with Dad so I have to go back to disassemble and extract the microdrive from it. Mmm, 4gb goodness for my digicam. That’s like, around 1200 photos.
The Nokia 6600’s camera owns my crappy T610’s camera. Alcohol also owns Dave and Aris, but I’m sure I’ll hear more stories when he gets back from Melbourne. Last time they ended up halfway to South Australia after trying to, uh, save money.
ADSL provisioning is meant to be completed today, but knowing Telstra, it might still take a couple more days before the line goes live.
Ok, trying to finish off this damn annoying Legal Theory essay tonight. I just need to find a formalist judgment that is bad/anachronistic, and it’s frustrating me because I can’t find one. Then I have a Constitutional Law essay to do afterwards, but that will obviously have to wait for another day.
I hope the Easter break was a good one for you. I went to the gym for the first time in a while, overdid it a little and was hobbling around for most of the weekend. Very sore.
Not many people have complained about putting our public holidays on Christian-centric dates, but I found this article about religion making its way into politics again interesting. This is far from relapsing back into the darker days of a theocracy. However, it does seem that Churches are beginning to realise that if they want to do something about legislating according to their beliefs, they have to get people with similar convictions into power.
