So I’m not going to be around much (due to travel but also the fact I’m about to explain and I’m getting dicked with using the iPad/iPhone… I just can handle no mouse!), I don’t know when I’ll return to full duties.

Ok so Telstra has commenced illegal churn actions on my phone line. My epic current provider is helping me resolve, however I dunno when my service will return!

So I’m also traveling for over 12 days straight for work. I would have taken the iPad, but if I have no interwebs at home, my wife won’t let me!

Never fear the BoD can operate without me no probs, and when my hands aren’t aching I’ll try my phone!

Send the cops
and tell them my wife did it (Im not going anywhere for work – so its a lie!)

(I was supposed to spend the night with her, and we’ve been fighting heaps lately, and i stupidly got caught up here doing fuck knows! – SHIT! I am genuinely afraid to go to bed)

Ro, how’s your couch?

Look, Im gunna, more then likely, be away for your birthday…

and now deadites taught me how to record and make videos…. I thought I’d record you a song!

My fav, Barry fucken Manalow!

Precursor – apologies, but I need a place to vent – some may understand or just find it funny!
Background – for what I am about to discuss, I have had zero involvement in over the last 2 months, and I’ve been on leave for the last week and been even more removed – of that’s possible
Also me in context – at work I know my shit. No one questions the shad, shads the best at what he does. “if you got a problem, yo I’ll solve it”. But shad, as you know is short tempered, has zero time for stupidity and IF this was the old west/feudal Japan I’d carry peacemakers/ sword and be aiming them at almost everyone, bosses included, blowing their stupidity away/cuttin their moronic brains clean of their necks – for the good of us all!

Situation – at 730 my boss calls me “I’m not comming into work
Today, real sick like, hey there is this meeting organised for today at 10 with x, y & z (all morons, above my pay grade) people’s you’ll need to run it! Oh and you’ll need x outcome!

Just getting a sounding board/thoughts from people re creating a (30minute max) weekly TeamIPX radio show/podcast (using mumble)

Format 3-4regular people with 1-2special guests or rotational line up.
Talking about everything from current events, gaming, science, jokes, stories.

Shit if they guys who make no right answer at the escapist get paid for that unplanned tyrad piece of shit – and get regular viewers, I reckon we could get a decent program!

LOL

This was an Americans guess on why games cost more in australia… and I reckon its spot on!
(watch from 4:20 onwards if you dont wanna watch the whole Ep or dont watch on a weekly basis)

So I upgraded my interwebs account: from 40-60gb. They said I “MAY” receive a speed upgrade but as I am peeking the ADSL1 speed limit, it was doubtful!
Our “rollover” and new metering month started on the 2nd Feb (so we’ve been on the new plan/month for 2days)
I started back at work this week after a month off. I’ve have been pretty sick still, so haven’t been around on the computer at home in the evenings…. and the wife’s been using the iPad (3g – so there hasn’t been much using the interwebs at home)

Last night my wife asks, “Can I download some “stuff”?” “Yeah sure” I replied and told her that we’ve got our additional 20gigs to make our lives easier and so we arent shaped all the bloody time!
The current metered usage when she got on was Less than 100mb!
We went to bed! ;)

I woke this morning with the kids, got them breakfast then came into the computer…. I realised the PC & torrents had been left on all night!

I stopped the screen saver to see….

I’d like to take 5 to profess my ever enduring man love for Robag!
Cause when you see it, you’ll shit bricks!

Mmm I dunno if I’d call it a merger?
This may be old news, but I only just got wind… I believe this impacts more then a few of us. Thought?
Read below:

iiNet is purchasing 100 per cent of the shares in both Internode and Agile. Internode and Agile will continue to operate as separate business units within the group, retaining their current staff and offices. The current management team, including founder Simon Hackett, are all continuing with the company group.

Happy New Year All! (early)
I’ve decided to go away for a few days, which means I’ll be out of town till maybe the 2nd (maybe the 1st) – I’d like to say I’m going to hang with my mates… but it appears they all went camping and drinking and I wasn’t invited! – Nice!

anyway, I’m all purchased up for Secret Santa… so never fear (Ill gift em when I return) (some good specials out there)

So, happy new year! Be safe, be merry…. and I hope you dont get shopped by your mates!
