Woohoo, have digital camera, will take pictures! The camera happens to be a Canon A20, which i ended up purchasing for much cheaper than it should have been. Truely a case of being in the right place at the right time. I haven't had any time to take shots so I'm waiting for the weekend which is also forecast for rain! It's unlikely any photos will appear until I upload my new site, which I'm working on at the moment. Watch this space...

This is a rather poor effort, but i'm sitting here downloading a very old Dire Straits bootleg & I can't think of anything to type, so I'll just go away now.

Back at work again, feeling a thousand times better, but still a bit croaky. Sensational weather again, few clouds, blue sky & around the mid 20's centigrade.

Finally installed SETI@home. I say finally because I've thought about it for yonks but never actually done anything about it. Easier to setup than I thought, uses virtually no computer resources (or not enough to cause me to notice) & once going is really trippy to watch. Colourful graphs, fast moving lines, it just looks really high tech & kept my dad transfixed for ages! No signs of alien life have sprung forth yet & apparently there's a 99.99999% chance nothing ever will. Hey I'll take those odds!!!

I've been told this web page needs more photos. A digital camera is on its way, probably this weekend if possible. However, any photos will go up on a possibly redesigned site, I'm getting sick of the colour. I also want the page to be visible to those poor plebs who can only view 800 x 400 (for god sakes people, update your monitors!!) & fix up Wap access. Mind you, I've probably buggered the wap thing further by having this in a frame. I also hope to have a new name for the site & it's various sections....stay tuned.

Good luck to all those budding accountants doing their CPA exams at the moment, better you than me. I pulled out of the last subject due to it being ridiculously huge in content. In addition to that my heart wasn't in it after failing the subject before it, even though I am of the opinion I passed. At the moment I can't see myself getting back into it. I've got three years to complete it, so maybe I'll get the ambition at some stage in the future.

It's odd that after spending a couple of years studying accounting in high school, two years at college studying accounting and yet a further two years studying... yes you guessed it... accounting....& after working for the last five years as an accountant that I would like to continue down that path. Sorry for the length of that last sentence. Anyway, over the time of studying & working, I've always had thoughts of doing something different, maybe in tourism, music or something generally creative. Since it now looks like tourism is currently out of the question for obvious reasons, I'm trying to branch out, mainly by writing a few songs, & with the future advent of a digital camera, maybe visual arts becomes an option.

Now I've got all the above off my chest, I'll get back to work.

Geez, I am miserable. Not bawling eyes out miserable. Just, if i sneeze once more my head might explode miserable. It really does suck when you get a cold & the weather is perfect. You lose all enthusiasm to get out & enjoy it. I can't even sit inside & play my strat, cause I can't hear it properly....my ears won't pop, my ears won't pop!!!

New update to the patch. I've stuck this in a frame which I've wanted to do all along, and makes the whole thing more acceptable. Maybe a bit of a problem for anyone that checks out the blog via the blogger.com main page. Since the info in this frame is a page unto itself, that's all you'll get via that method.

Bummer, I've missed the Neil Finn webcast by a couple of hours. I was hoping to catch it, but I missed the whole thing. Thankfully it will be archived for the next two months on the nilfun website. By the emails I've received, a few people had trouble with the connection anyway, so I wouldn't have had a hope with a modem connection.

I never did get the chicken pox, but caught a cold instead. Definately the better of the two. I'm the last to get an illness at work but the odds were pretty much against me with all the germs floating in the air!

Christmas is upon us? Well, it is at the club anyway. First chrissy function held today, 41 days before the event....way too early I reckon.

The address for the wap entry point for blogging didn't appear in the last entry (possible bug in blogbuddy??). The address again is: http://wap.waplog.ch/blogger/.

Big fan of that!!! The post that appears below was done using my mobile phone, through wap. I stumbled across the following website and anyone using Blogger can use their Wap enabled mobile to post blogs!!! Although it takes a while to type anything in a mobile phone, as millions will testify, it's novel & it works. Very handy for those not near a computer all the time. To check out the web site follow this address:

Looks like I'm going to have to start blogging from home. The ADSL connection here leaves a lot to be desired and causes significant grief. I lost yesterdays blog and last week lost this entire section from the site!
