Went down to the newsagency outside where I work during my tea break today.Was gunna pick up a car mag and some mobile phone credit, so i came in and starting looking for the magazine i wanted (had an article on the Evo-9 and the new Mitsubishi 380, but I digress). As im hunting thru the mags, i notice there is an old lady, going at some scratch and win tickets at the counter. She is talkin to the old dude who works there, and saying all kinds of crap that eluded to how "all these bloody arabs a
At worky today, and rather nice lookin girly from the netherlands was in. She had been in a few times, mainly puting all her photos from her 2 month trip onto a CDRW. So she is workin away at that, and asked me for help. For some reason Nero was having a sad, not letting her write new files to the CDRW, it kept wanting to erase the contense.After a bit of fighting with it, i we thought it was set. She burns it, then i come back as it finishes. She checks the CD, and there is only the few pics sh
Da oh r god christ ######!!My brain hurt after this one pimps and ho's, ill tell ya that.After i cleaned out this corner full of Misc. Computer crap, and stack it all neatly and everything, I found a burner, brand new, still with nero etc bundled with it.I told the IT consulatant, who was responsible for the mess in the corner, so later he stuck it into a computer. Now what we do at work is give people USB card readers, for the little flash cards in theur cameras. This means we dont have 56,000
A CDRW, containing all the Photos of a couple's holiday accross oz, was in one of our CD drives. The drive wouldnt open.I was annoyed at something else at the time, and the good old method of using a paper clip to release it failed.So i got angry, veryyyyy angry, and before i knew it i had ripped the draw open using a 2 pairs of scissors. The drive was well and truely dead, but the cople got their CD. I closed the draw, put some tape over it to signify it was buggered, then moved on to trying t
Idiocy. That is the only word to describe this.Thursday at work.On one of the tables, the order goes:towerscreentowerscreentower screenand so on.This dude comes out to me, and says the disk drive on his computer is broken. So i leap into action and see whats goin down in china town.It seems this intellectual pigmy had put his disk in the drive in the tower to the left of his screen. This tower did not belong to his screen, his tower was on the right of his screen. So i told him this, and moved t
Woop di do.Hotmail is forked. Forked up beyond all belief. And it has been for the last few days.I have a feeling some of their servers are buggered, meaning some people cant get into their accounts.And when you work in an internet cafe. Its your computers fault, and you (me) have to fix it.No one seemed to believe me it was hotmails problem, they all doubted me. I ended up saying "Our computers our fine. Its hotmail that is broken, its a problem at their end, there is nothing i can do. Nothing.
I dunno.Went for a run along the beach this afternoon, gave me some thinkin time. Ive felt really, really weird over the past week. I got back from leavers on Sunday, and all of a sudden everything seemed to have changed. School was over and done it, my life just seemed like a mess. The past 7 days seems like the busiest week of my life, yet in retrospect i havnt done all that much. It just feels so strange. Happy, sad, angry everything at once. I think its cos school is over once and for all. H

This rather overweight british woman wants to use the internet, so i chuck her on computer 8, nothing to it.She comes back in a panic, as if Osama Bin Laden just leapt out of the disk drive with a machine gun!"Number 8 has no screen!!""errr what?""Its black, its not working, useless, useless!!""Okkkkkk, here, ill put you on Number 10, ill fix the screen later"Now that the sky hasnt fallen in, world hasnt ended, Osama didnt come out of the disk drive, and British lady is settled at her new comput
Now that school is all finished, i went out and got my self a job thatll bring in the cash and keep me occupied. I wound up a place called "Travellers Club" they do backpacker travel, employment agency for backpackers, and an internet cafe. My work is in the internet cafe.The system is very simple. Some one wants to use the computers, so i give them a computer number to go too, and start a session on that computer (using my computer). When they are finished they tell me the number, and I end the
I went to a mates house yesterday to do s ome studying. After about 3 hours we got bored ######less. So he jumped onto the internet and bownloaded the demo of BattleField 1942: Secrets weapons of WWII expansion.While it was downloading, i played some Hitman 3: Contracts. Yeah, damn fun game. Seamed more dark and violent, and less kind of righteous that Hitman 2, but still danm fun. Lotsa good weapons, and sneaky sneaky stuff.He has a coupla computers on a LAN, so we jumped on when BF was ready.

Im trying to remember if its an acronym or something.Anyone have any ideas? PS (another cool thing someone told me, Mad Like Insane is an acronym for my name )
Some of you may know im stuck in the middle of the biggest exams of my life.5 Exams, 3 hours each, spread over 2 and bit a weeks.These exams decide my future as a member of the human race. They give me a score, this score decides if I can get into what uni courses i want. The only option if your score isnt good enough is to repeat the exams, next year.Its 35 Degrees outside, not a cloud in the sky, and im stuck in doors. Ceiling fan is slowly rotating, more of a placebo effect than anything els
