On the ride to work this morning, there was some sort of weird speed trap setup in one of the breakdown phone areas, there were 2 cop cars, and some device setup, looked like a surveyors camera (or whatever those things are surveyors have) I suppose it could have just been the radar or whatever though.

They were busting someone driving a Commodore as I went past.

At the end of the freeway, there were more cops, RBTing southbounders. Why would someone be driving pissed at like 9am on a Friday morning?

Got to work, finally managed to get some work done on the stuff I'm supposed to be doing, instead of the silly website I'm sick to death of.

I wandered down the street for lunch, I went into the useless Dick Smith shop nearby to get the parts I need to make an adapter for the Sparc, since it's got 8 pin mini din serial ports.

I wandered in, looking for plugs and sockets. The guy asks me if I need help,
"No, but I'm looking for mini din plugs, and a db9" I say.
"Oh, svideo" he says,
"no, 8 pin mini din" I reply.
"Oh, I don't think we have those, only in normal. What's it for, ps2?", no, that's 6 pin idiot.
"It's for a Sparc serial port" I reply, knowing damn well he has no idea what a Sparc is.

They didn't have any, they didn't even have ps2/6 pin mini dins anyway. I just bought a db9 and a backshell, and left. I don't know why I even bothered getting those, I still need to go to Jaycar to get the mini din.

I then went to the bank, and paid for the Sparc. Then I went across to Subway and got some lunch.

As I wandered back to the building after that, I went in to the newsagent and bought an instant scratchy, won nothing, what a surprise.

I left work about 5.30pm, and headed for home, I stopped in at got some food for dinner on the way home as usual. I decided to buy a bottle of Bundy for my mate, I haven't seen him since before Christmas, didn't get him anything, and it was also his Birthday on Wednesday.

I stopped in to drop off the bottle, and he was there, so I stayed for a bit, we had a couple of drinks.

My mate from Newcastle was coming down apparently, so I hung around, he turned up about 10pm.

We ended up sitting there drinking and chatting until about 3am, when my mates got into a political discussion I wasn't interested in, so I went home.

They'd mentioned going to beach tomorrow a bit earlier, so I said "give me a call in the morning" as I left.

I sat and played the guitar for a bit, and then I went to bed.
