Just discovered that all of these funky new broadband
technologies that Telstra is offering don’t allow static IP addresses yet.
Of course this means that my current work may well be hamstrung by
crappy 56K modem connection to service 15 people for months yet.

Man I hate telstra.

Woohoo, fixed up the timezone so that these actually show the right time. Bonus.

To Do:

• Talk to Hugh re apocryphal books of the bible.
• Practise Japanese more
• Figure out how many people are coming over on Friday
• buy notebooks for HPS musings
• make sure to maintain blogs!

Well here is my first blog…
mainly a test blog, really, but here’s some links I want to check out
sometime…
