jalapeño suppository steering mechanism
Oct. 31st, 2001 04:32 pmWhich quite accurately sums up Telstra's ADSL network. Since about 8am this morning there's been international outages all over the place.
I had a goodly whinge about it on deflexion.org, so I won't get into it too much at the moment... suffice it to say that work today has been progresssing just a little bit slowly for my liking since it takes about 5 minutes to upload a 3Kb file. Whee.
Consequently I've been reading WhirlPool a lot lately; its really very good and I'd advise anyone interested to check it out.
For some silly reason, Tardinha is considering buying a new car. I wish he'd thought about that like a month ago, becasue I probably would have offered to buy his old one. Possibly. If I could have arranged some way in which I could have.
Although one point definitely stands, which is that I can't afford to have a car which I would continually have to put money in for things other than petrol and the occasional service; so having a new car is really good for that. I have at least another 2-3 years before it all starts to fall apart.
Maybe by then I will have gotten up the impetus to actually get a real motorcycle license and buy a motorcycle... and a wide screen TV... or a projector. Or perhaps I'll just fritter away the remnants of my sunken dreams of owning the best computer in christendom.
I've kind of given up on that idea, owning a good computer. I still need to actually fix Rana's computer, and get all of mine acting as a group properly... hoorah then I'll have a home network that could even be useful. :)
Of course in order to do that I'm going to have to get some more hard drives... preferably ones that are larger than the now archeiaclly small 8gb.
Tonight I think I'm playing pool... after moving furniture, think I! *hehe*
I've been eating too much lately for summer, and consequently gained weight, should remember to consider this at mealtimes, so I'm going to write it in here purely as an aid to memory.
Plus I'm bored. Oh well back to tapping morse binary into the phone line. :)
