My new plaything
Weeee. Bought one of these babies today.

Can't wait to play with it after the batteries finally charge up, however long that may be since they dont tell you! And gotta clean this PC up so Dad can have one to play with after my old computer's motherboard died a while ago.

*twiddles thumbs in excitement* :D


And xtn if you still read this, Happy Birthday! :)

Toyriffic
My sis returned home from her business trip to HK today and came back with some gooodies I got her to buy for me. After a lil fretting over the ipod, ipod mini, rio, zen, or the iriver digital music players, I settled for the iriver H140 which, like the ipod, has a 40 gigabyte hard disk but also has an FM tuner, voice recording, support for mp3, wav, wma, asf, and ogg... well, it just couldn't compete as much as the others. Even better, the store my sis bought it from threw in the iriver iFP-140 64mb flash music player in for free! bonus. What's good about the H140 is that I can use it as a portable hard disk, plug straight into USB and Windows automatically detects it as a mass storage device, with no software to be installed. Couldn't ask for any more. Now the big test is to see if the internal Lithium Polymer battery lasts longer and better than the ipod ones, which has reported a few problems lately....

Now if only my iriver came along with a few accessories such as this (not including him in the middle :), or these :D
I mean, what kinda homie wouldn't have an iriver or be seen driving one of these babies (and the hummer).


Talking about homies, I watched Starsky and Hutch tonight, and it was quite good indeed. Typical Stiller humour and 70s style action, nice mix.

Kill Bill volume 2 is out in a week. Can't wait til Bill is killed. Sis also bought Volume 1 on DVD from HK, hopefully its the Japanese uncensored version. Gotta love the gore.

bought 512mb RDRAM PC800. 2x256MB sticks. USD$172. Thats my budget for the month no thanks to my Dell pc with specific upgrades. gah. Duno why I bought more memory, just that my friend went over to the US and I felt like getting something and couldnt think of anything else.

Eatin Out
Today's 'interview' didn't seem all too bad. Having all the rooms in the office full so we couldn't eat in (the agent always has food on his mind, so he says) we went out to have "coffee", which I do not drink so hot chocolate for me and english breakfast tea for him - so much for having coffee heh. This was one of the longest, about 40 minutes, of an interview of sorts I've had .. but it didn't feel like one considering it was over coffee and he was talking about the co more than anything else heh. Says I might be someone the client is looking for so hmmmm gotta wait til next week to find out. In the mean time least I have tutoring. Quiz tomorrow and assignments next week fun fun fun!

Any Given Wednesday
Seems like every time I go out and come back via Hurstville Westfields I seem to buy CDs (yes.. I don't download many songs anymore! :) Today I ended up getting John Mayer's Any Given Thursday album recorded from the Birmingham concert he did last September .. and also Norah Jones Come Away With Me.. don't know why but I just need to spend some $$ Hope its gonna be money well spent heh which I'm sure it is. John Mayer playing in September and thanks to petals for gettin me tix :)

Server maintenance. There will be a planned server outage tonight at 12 midnight (pacific time). This should only last about an hour. � Jason G. [8/12/2003 1:37:46 PM]
If I could only work out what pacific time is in relation to AEST then that would be good, but be forewarned - If you can't reach this site, you know why.
