Weekend notes.

I finally got around to buying my textbooks at the USyd Co-op Bookshop yesterday. Well, textbook in the singular. Once again, they failed to order enough books for my education subject so I'll have to wait for them to come in.

While I was down at the Co-op, I saw Unwired wireless broadband modems selling for $70 ($63 for Co-op members) which usually retail for $189. They're aren't brand new per se - they're refurbished, hence the low cost. So I've finally caught up with the rest of the civilised world and now I've got broadband internet that I can use anywhere in the Sydney Basin.


After drinks at The Eastwood with mates, I got a txt message from N!xau. He was heading home from his mate's house halfway across the City and seeing as he lived relatively close by - fifteen minutes away in the Northern Suburbs/Shore, we arranged to meet up and go back to his place.

We ended up watching episodes of Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister on DVD. I stayed the night and this morning, we went for a drive and lunched at a Vietnamese place in Chatswood. It was great.

Much fun had by all. Watch this space, people.


I'm heartened by the results from yesterday's by-election in the Federal Division of Werriwa. Labor's MP-elect Chris Hayes increased the ALP's margin by a little under 3%. If only the trend could be repeated across the country...
