Moving house, so I have to sell some rarely used bits and pieces or face more trips with the trailer. Selling woodworking gear (in particular Triton) and some other random stuff. I opened an ebay store for a month to see if it is worth doing long term to make a few extra dollars. Hopefully I can earn enough so that Andrea can stay at home with Connor.

I am now enjoying reasonably fast internet access thanks to Internode ADSL2+. I have been using it for a while now, but finally after a few tweaks I am seeing some impressive results.
[`[*Test Results from Oz Broadband Speed Test*]`]

[(Mirror: [*Internode*]

Not too bad and a huge jump on the 700KB/s I was getting.

As mentioned in my last post I have recently moved house. One major hurdle for this little back duck is now I only have dial-up internet access. Moving from 8Mbit to 56Kbit sucks, no really it is horrible. Email works, the web works but is annoyingly slow, I haven’t even thought about internet radio, torrents, etc. The absolute worst though is that I can no longer easily listen to and watch Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
Bush is doing everything in his power to come across as a complete corrupt prat and I can’t see any of it. Please Telstra find another port in that dslam.

Well, I am starting to get my life back again after a fairly hectic 6 months or so. The bottom line and result of all this chaos is I now live alone in a spectacular part of the world- Aldinga Beach to be precise.
I can now take a one minute walk and see dolphins rounding up schools of Australian Salmon. Not a bad way to start the day, certainly an excellent stress releaser for me.
I no longer suffer from anxiety, am losing weight and am looking forward to the future. I miss my family unbelievably, but I am sure they will all benefit from me being a better Dad/ friend.
I have only just started on this journey, however it all looks promising so far. Pretty good practice for my upcoming mid-life crisis anyway :)
If you know me and live in SA ask for my details and pop over some time.

Inept GOP’ers sent lots of emails to georgewbush.org instead of georgewbush.com. The .org site is anti-Bush and has published the emails complete with attachments such as the rapidly becoming infamous “caging lists” spreadsheets. There is some very interesting reading in these email and they will do a great deal of damage in the right hands. Rove for one has some explaining to do.

Hmmm, this is interesting and may actually make some changes. It seems that the loony Australian government’s propaganda machine has now decided to become carbon neutral. OK they will do it in dodgy ways, but at least the issue is being acknowledged. How are Little Johny and his environmental vandal friends going to say that there isn’t a problem when Murdoch and Co are facing it head on.
Wow, actual news on news.com.au
