Just want to recommend this to everyone reading. Skype (www.skype.com) is a program that lets you make phone calls from your computer. If you ring someone else’s computer, the calls are free. You can also purchase pre-paid credit (which I have done), and call normal house phones from your computer for about 3 cents per minute, to just about anywhere in the world, and certainly anywhere in Australia.
All you need for this is a microphone and speakers or, better yet, a set of headphones with a microphone attached. I bought my headset for $40, but you save so much on phone calls it makes up for it easily. The sound quality is good too.
Post here if you decide to download it with your username so I can add you!
Well, I formatted my computer today… and forgot to write down email addresses. Can everyone please email me their address again???
And not computer-related, either. After having an intense headache for the past week, I finally went to the doctor to be told I have some sort of virus, which is causing not only the headaches, but a temperature of 38. dizzyness and high blood pressure.
Just great. At least he has given me a few days off work
On Thursday, at two minutes and three seconds past one in the morning, the time and date will be:
01:02.03 04/05/06
Just thought I'd put that out there

Not long after writing the post below, some nobheads decided that they were going to damage my car. At least I have their names, so hopefully justice will be done.
If my life was a movie, then tonight would be titled "Night of the Ferals 2: Return of the Ferals."
In my line of work, I expect to see some… "different"… people. It sort of comes with the territory. However, getting them all on the same night is pretty bad. Getting them all on the same night, two weeks in a row, is worse. And that is exactly what has happened these last two weeks.
It is hard to describe these people. But, since starting in this job, I have seen:
- Transvestities (not so bad, just comes at a shock at 4am);
- A woman who offered to have sex with me if I gave her a discount on her fuel – mind you, she said this in front of her fiance;
- A guy who had a go at me, accusing me of being a thief and robbing the poor people of Maffra, all because the fuel prices are so high (he didn't like it when I told him, bluntly, that I had nothing to do with the prices and then I too had to buy petrol);
- A fellow who tried to steal a hot meat pie buy shoving it down the front of his pants… I decided to let him be uncomfortable for some time before saying anything;
- Another fellow came in looking to buy condoms – when I told him the price, he went off on a whole diatribe about "how much does a root cost these days?". When I suggested to him he could either buy the condoms or pay for it for the rest of his life, he meekly handed over the money;
- The guy who came in complaining, over and over again, that it was cold outside – then bought three or four ice creams and stood outside and ate them;
- How about the guy who gets shitty at the ATM when his pay hasn't gone in – in one instance, even threatening to smash it?
This is just a few of the many, many "different" customers I get to see.
