OK, as usual, this is not being written when it claims. I seem to prefer updating this every second day, but it's harder to remember what to put in here.

Ok, I got up at some point, bummed around.

I got a phone call because the tech support woman couldn't work Thunderbird, sorted that out.

I called the guy who removed the missing server from the roof, he's offered to allow us to put some stuff in his colo, I wanted to have a look, but he's not going in there today, no problem. He told me where it is, I might go and have a look anyway (apparently there's a window in the door).

I went to have a cold shower, but I couldn't handle it, so I went inside and had a proper shower.

I came back and got dressed, grabbed my mates broken phone, and headed over to talk to the guy who owns the repair place.

He had just ducked out, and would be back in an hour. I decided to get some lunch while I waited.

I took off, and went to pay my Amex bill, took a bit of fiddling to find a parking spot, paid it, then took off again.

I was going to go for lunch, but I wasn't paying attention, and didn't turn at the right place, I decided I would go to Coles, buy some Aloe Vera for my skin and come back.

I went to the shopping centre, went into Coles, couldn't find what I was looking for, I went to the cheap shop, and found a bottle of Aloe Vera bath gel for $2.50, not too bad, grabbed it.

I went back to KFC, had some lunch, then I decided to get check the colo. I rode back to Gosford, went near where I thought it was, I couldn't find it, so I gave up.

I went back over to the electronics place, I chatted to the guy over there about my friend, and how he'd been told that plane would kill him, oh well. The guy offered to help us out with cheap equipment if we want it, I tried to get my mate's phone fixed, but apparently Telstra phones aren't worth fixing, what a surprise.

I left there, he had another appointment, and I came home.

I bummed around watching The Simpsons for a while.

I decided I needed to digitise the video my mate had asked me to do for him, I fiddled around and got that set up.

I captured the video, 20 minutes worth, spent a couple of minutes chopping out static frames, then set it to MPEG2 encode.

5 hours later, my 20 minute video was encoded, so I burned it on a CD as an SVCD, only 430MB, groovy, good quality too, you can't tell the difference from the original tape.

It was now nearly 1am. I went to bed, watched another episode of The Simpsons, and went to sleep.
