why do people always try and rip you off...

Anaconda has a photography competition - of course by entering they take ownership of your photo. http://www.outer-edge.com.au/competitions.html

Then, Daniel from Mio rejected my winning entrant for the mio competition, despite complying top the terms and conditions... I am being sent the discontinue base model - c220, instead of the top range model with bluetooth, camera, 2gig memory etc etc. He is the marketting manager of Mio technology Australia - feel free to spam him.

yeah there is more - but I can't be bothered.

Internet is good, but damn torrents are slow. If you can recommend some good fast torrent networks (even if free membership is needed) that would be good.

I had to pay $16 to see a movie (I am legend - average, a few good points, many bad) as there is no southbank cineplex down here.... Stuff that. I now support piracy!

kthxbi

So - got my iinet nakdeDSL sorted.. Stupid telstra basically forgot to plug in the second patch lead.
17mb downstream, 1mb upstream. Finally I have fast broadband.
I also have a new landline (via VOIP) number - if you want it, just ask.

long time no update!

So yeah, if you haven't guessed - I still don't have net access at home.
Will be sorted soon!
I agree, quantum of solace is the worst bond movie name I have heard.
Yes, I have moved to melbourne and yes - traffic here sucks. Why the fuck do melbourne people drive at 80km per hour in the right hand lane of a freeway zoned at 100km/hr!!! crazy people - they don't know how to merge either. I swear they make the traffic so much worse through their own driving... they are good at the euro style "ignore road lines and get around traffic" though. It takes a bit to get use to - and the whole just pull up and put on the hazards.
So much coffee - Melbourne rocks.
I am working in my new job at the Monash Institute of Medical research - and liking it.
So much near my apt - like 20 indian restaurants and nepalese, indian, chinese, thai, multitude of alcohol sellers incl. safeway and coles! Found an indo/malaysian supermarket about 5 mins from where I live - so good, cheap tea etc!!!!
enjoy peeps, ciao.
