Also, we went and had a look at the St Patrick's day festivities out front of PJ Obriens. It was hilarious. We laughed at some Irish dancing and decided next year, we're going to Ireland for St Pattie's day. Like most threats, it probably wont come about, but we'll just wait and see.
Also in Adelaide at the moment, the fire and police games ... oh yes, a SHIT load of firemen in our city at the moment and I saw any Irish police officer today. Carly and I were sitting at a table at a restaurant in Rundle Street and he walked past and I just sort of stopped in the middle of my conversation and went "OOH". It was pretty funny, but it's likely that you had to be there.

Tonight Carly met me in town and we headed in to Higher Ground to see a show by someone that Carly did an acting class with some years ago. His show was called Thanks for the ADD. It was pretty good. He made me uncomfortable, which I'm not sure was his aim, but if it was, then big ups to him because he did well. There were some funny bits, but more of it made me feel uncomfortable than hilarious. It made me think that maybe I could do it.
My show would be all about being lazy, some nights I would turn up, others I would not. NO REFUNDS!!!

Today my life ended.
My functional life anyway, I watched the last episode of stargate, it gave me a little bit of closure, but not nearly enough. I didn't cry, maybe I will when I watch it again. This show has been a part of my life since I was ten, that's half my life. Half of anyone's life is a long time. Particularly if you're old.
I've been feeling really old lately, I realised that it has been seven years since the year 2000 and although in those seven years I went through most of high school, went to really expensive TAFE, got myself a job, worked there for a while and then found a more interesting job, I feel as though I haven't really done much of anything.
I've never left the country, but I've been all around Australia, I've seen enough of it to last me a life time. I need to go somewhere new.
My 21st is coming up next month as some of you may know (if anyone is still even reading this), at the age of 21 a lot of people have done great things. Me? I've done nothing. If I died tomorrow, what would I be remembered for? Being a great tech support officer? Well that's fantastic, but we're a dime a dozen. My skills can be learned with time, I'm replaceable.

I, my friends, am a fucking gun.
Why I hear you ask?
Well, let me tell you.
So I got this mac right and because it's intel based I can run Mac OSX. Naturally, I thought, why stop there. So currently I am blogging, wirelessly, via Ubuntu which is a distro of linux for those who don't know. It has taken me a week to get all this working properly, I've had problems with windows not working after I install Ubuntu and Ubuntu just not working for me and at last I have the video drivers working, the sound working and the wireless network working. Now with any luck I wont go and fuck it up.
In other news, yesterday I finished Crackdown. That is one awesome game. When I went and bought it, the guy said to me that it is like a cross between Mario and Grand Theft Auto. I laughed at him, but it is very true. You're like this super human cop and as you level up you can jump higher and drive cars better and explode things bigger .... and throw busses. The fact that you can throw busses should be enough to sell this game to anyone. Initially, I bought it so that I could get a Halo 3 Beta key, I figured I would play the Halo 3 beta and then trade in Crackdown when I buy Halo 3. I still may, but we will see. Anyway, I played the game the wrong way around, there's 3 gangs, it starts you on the easy one, then you're supposed to go to a slightly harder one, then the hardest. Apparently, I went easy, hardest, slightly harder, which made the last gang a piece of piss. Really good game though, if you have a 360, get it, you wont regret it.
Also, for those of you who are going to buy a PS3, think about it more carefully and then buy an xbox 360 and 4 or 5 games ... you'll save yourself some money.

I've been back online for about a week now, but I haven't posted. I'd like to say I've been busy, but that would be a bit of a lie.
I have been busy this weekend though. I have managed to install Windows and Linux on my mac in a triple boot situation. It's taken me pretty much the whole weekend to get the Linux working to the point it is now. That is, I can log on, the video drivers are correct and I can connect to the inernet via ethernet cable. Wireless isn't working and I think I need different drivers for the touch pad. I've had enough for one weekend though so I'm going to leave it until next week.
I'm running Windows Vista on the other partition. It's okay, but yesterday I went to Laura's house to have a laptop party (haha, I'm such a nerd) and I took over a bunch of files to share with her. It took us a lot of work to get the damn file sharing to work, but in the end, files were shared and we were most happy.
In other news this week, we got Nodephone setup here so we can stop paying for phone calls through our voice service provider. I also managed to hook up our cordless phone and get the answering machine working. The only problem is, when you are talking on one of the handsets, the answering machine wont work, because it thinks someone has already answered it. I don't know if I'm going to be able to find a sollution for this one, we might have to get another answering machine.
