Shopping with no-one around & VoIP

Tonight we went to Carindale to take advantage of the late-night-Wednesday-because-Thursday-is-a-public-holiday deal. It was fantastic, hardly anyone was there. It was like having almost a whole shopping centre, with all the staff, almost exclusively dedicated to serving you. We got a new mobile and put a few more things on the wedding registry at Myer.

In the last few days I have been looking at our telephony options our soon-to-be home. We're getting Bigpond cable for internet, and i'm pretty sure that i'm going to go for a VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) solution primarily for the phone mainly because … Read more →

Raining

It's raining outside as I type this. Why is this worth mentioning? I love when it rains, there's something that's just so soothing about it. However I was caught in it today as walked back from the city across the Victoria bridge. Although I had an umbrella, a bus ran through a puddle next to the footpath and sprayed my lower half horizontally. Needless to say I wasn't too impressed.

Yesterday i read an article in the newspaper that really intrigued me. It was a feature article on Britain making its final World War II loan repayment to the United Read more →

300 Entries!

This entries marks the 300th one since I started this blog over 2 years ago! *streamers and other party stuff flying everywhere* On average, that makes it roughly one entry every 2.47 days (although of late it has been far from that frequent).

Of course we have been very very busy. As we approach the 30 day mark to the wedding, things have have started to intensify. The unit is coming into shape (which is very satisfying), and the last two weekends have been spent shopping for various things to fill it: lounges, dinner tables, washing machine, fridge, etc etc. … Read more →

The Last Game for a while.

This is another one of those times where i've had so much to blog but now that i've come to do it I can't remember anything!!

So i'll probably just get started by 'life-blogging' as Andrew puts it. I continued through the rest of the working week last week without too much drama. Work up until today seems to building up a healthy 'to do' list that i'll have to work through ahead of the wedding.

On Saturday we had our unit blessed by Fr Anastasi (as is tradition fro Orthodox homes just after Epiphany). May the Lord's will be … Read more →

New Years

So starts 2006. Happy New Years to everyone. Is it just me, or does everyone else hate how every new year we have to start writing the new date? We just barely got used to writing the last year, and then they make us write a different year; the nerve! I'm mainly peeved off because for some reason I don't like the way I draw my 6s.

As with most people, I made a new years resolution. This year my resolution was not to make a new years resolution. In doing that i've already failed at my resolution and now … Read more →
