New Car

I have bought a car. 2007 Ford Mondeo. 18,500km, $19,990. Pictures will follow once I take possession.

About Face

I have finally given in to the fact that social networking is a necessary part of didigtal life in our current world and joined Facebook.

Sickening, isn't it.

Yahoo Groups

Does anyone know how I can add an alternate email address to yahoo groups? It keeps saying that it's sending a verification email, but it never does.

btw - I tried submitting this as a problem via their help pages, and that doesn't work either!

Shooting themselves in the foot...

Signing up for internet access/phone service with slingshot, I discovered no less than three bugs in their sign-up system! You'd think they'd get this right at least!

The Cure for Information Overload

Wow! You absolutely have to read this essay called 'The Cure for Inormation Overload'. It'll change the way you organise your whole life!

Eye Spy

For the last couple of days I have been suffering under what the doctor identified as a 'Severe Corneal Abrasion', apparently suffered while I was sleeping. If you get a chance to try one of these for yourself, I suggest that you don't.

So why do I love them so much?

Well, those of you concerned that acute Rock Band withdrawal might cause me to embark on a shooting spree can rest easy. My PS3 has been repaired ($220 - third party repair job), my XBox360 has been replaced ($200 - shop soiled model from tricky dick's) and my hard drive resurrected once it was put in a different external enclosure (weird thing, that - any other drive worked in its enclosure, and it worked in any other enclosure!).
