Ohhh i may have to look into bonus bonds.

Saved 5 digits for a deposit on a house, the falling interest rates suck. Don't have enough $$ to buy a house so don't get to take advantage of low interest rates and my money returns nothing. :(

in answer to my own question, http://www.archive.org/web/web.php says 7.15

Got my RROD'd xbox back today. Took less time than I figured (3 weeks all up I think) and happened at what turned out to be a great time, as I've been busy as duck at work.

And they gave me a one month gold live card.

But the real oil is the shipping was all free - the charge on the return docket is listed as costing $150 Australian dollars. Consider they also paid to have it sent to them, they're spending half the cost of an xbox to repair each one. That's the kind of putting right that Mr Martin would be proud of _b

Reading Neil Gaiman's "Why Defend Freedom of Icky Speech?"

Finding out that my tui, which I rescued from the gutter a month or two back, fully recovered and was released back into the wild _b

I went into the veterinary clinic I took it to and asked, as they never got back to me.

Winning on eBay at a decent price. Fuck you competitors, this is my auction!

sort of an OMG - 'cos I didn't have to fix it:


should be all green ;)

What am I looking at exactly?

at a guess a nationwide network connectivity map.


At a guess. Also: file name is network map

monitoring tool was broken?

I'm picking that the CBD Welly Telecom outage meant remote monitoring was down.

I thought it was representing the Coldplay Tour as Auckland was Yellow

It's a report on the azians taking over.

F1 quickly approaching is OMG's. Solid gym progress is also OMG's.

Being about to leave on a 3-day girlie weekend to Hawke's Bay OMG :) Bring on the overindulgence of all good things!

works ... hopefully i can get networking to work, also.

^^ lol 27mb brought so much fun

You can go and see Caliban. You'd like Caliban _b

Hah! - I cleaning out junk in my garage last weekend, I biffed the original packaing for DN3D and Jedi Knight. And Office97. I also had to use a sledge hammer to get the old Sparcstation5 and monitor to fit into the rubbish drum - in hindsight it would have been theraputic for one of my staff to do that - he's a bit anti-Sun for some reason.

Oils my gears because I already have a mortgage. It's nice to see the monthly payments go down for a change and it gives me a chance to pay it off even faster.

multiplayer works sweet :D

for vista it needed to be run as administrator, and on the laptop sounds would be disabled after a windows-key crash. restarting didn't fix it, it needed to be powered off (after much cursing and driver downloads and muckin around with sound settings)

Changing ownership for my new car, exempting a licence etc. online without having to goto the post shop (admittedly this has been around for awhile).

On this note, any recommendations for free dead car removal in Auckland?

Sensible judges:Oh... and their surname is also gear-oilingly and aptly amusing...

So what exactly is "unjust enrichment."?

Errr... it's fairly self-explanatory, isn't it? It's getting rich (enrichment) when it's unjustified (unjust). They tried to argue Google was making cash off the image of their house (and presumably all houses and private property).

Picking fights at Harvey Norman - getting them to explain why their $179 HDMI 1m cable is so much better than the $59 HDMI 5m cable I can get next door.

Why does cyberboob's post require proper viewing? What are you nerds doing?

DD-WRT and the 2^72 IPv6 addresses I now have routed to my home.

^ Now CCS is just gonna be even more paranoid

to quote Ody... "enough addresses for every hair on my arse..... just"

'Sif I get paranoid about nerd shit.

WOMG?

No FUCKEN HYPHEN in my name ;)

Finally, after months of unsuccesfully messing with it, getting a sharknose image that I can happily put on a shirt.

Low-key oiling.

Hassle free indeed, went to work this morning, dead car in the drive way, gone by the time I got home.
