Oooh.... a Storm!!!

It's just by chance that I'm up for one of the only storms I've seen all summer. It's not a terribly big one from the radar and lightning tracker images but the light show out of my window as I'm working away. It was a nice end to the day (I like storms) considering how terrible it's been. I've already clocked about 26 hours of work this week and it Monday!
Wow the lightning strikes are getting closer.
Work wise it's just been an insane and painful day... Unfortunately I don't think it's going to get any better by the end of the week... At least I have the soothing sound of the water running down the storm pipes running through our unit.

The News is...

We have the NEWS CHANNEL!!!

After a great session of Warioware: Smooth moves tonight with Tom and Susan, I took a quick browse of the Wii Shopping Channel to see the new games that were out (Mario Kart 64 if anyone's interested) and low and behold there was an update. The update said it was for a parental controls update but there it was in all it's glory the News Channel!

It's fantastic... there isn't a lot of Australian content but there is regional and national. The most outstanding feature has to be the Slide show news. It simply scrolls through all the headlines highlighting the spot on the Globe where the news article came from.

New HHD Still No mac :(

Last night I finally got around to "Fixing" the mac. I bought a new drive for the MAC and fitted it last night... All in all a pretty easy job, the only problem is that the drive still doesn't appear. So by the look of it I have a dead logic board in the mac. Which is both a more expensive and complicated than a simple hhd replacement. So it might be back to the shop for the poor little mac or it may be time for the iMac to become a 24" Intel version. Time will tell I guess.

In other news I haven't been blogging much because of the stupid amount of work I've had to do. Really having two major customers going live a day apart was never a good idea.. I guess that's why organisations have project managers....

I thought about blogging last night after I got home but just looking at a PC made me stressed so I gave it a miss.

I'm only online at the moment to win some stuff my Parent's found on ebay so I had to track down an internet Kiosk at Carindale Shopping centre... After this bidding is done I think I might track down a copy of Warioware...

Have a Great Australia Day! I think it might be beer and cricket after that!

BDO the aftermath

So it's all over for another year... it was an awesome day (even if it made today a little difficult to get through)

Our line up :-
Afra & the Incredible Beatbox Band
Sick Puppies
Spazzys
The Butterfly Effect
Evermore
DJ Aniki
Lily Allen
My Chemical Romance
Eskimo Joe
John Butler Trio
The Killers
Jet
Muse
Bob Evans
Tool

The highlights for me were definitely Muse, The Killers, My Chemical Romance, Evermore, DJ Aniki and Lily Allen. Muse were there the whole reason and they certainly didn't disappoint. Their show was no nonsense just straight into the tracks and they just flowed from track to track. True to form they had an awesome stage setup! I only wish they had a longer set.

I was a bit disappointed with Eskimo Joe and Jet, I've seen them before and they've had a much performances. I was really surprised by Evermore and John Butler Trio, they really got the mosh going especially after something like Butterfly effect.

Other ups... hiding from the sun for most of the day, Not loosing anything, Watching a drug bust, watching a youtube video of a fat guy with his shirt off robot dancing to John butler trio unfold before our eyes...

Other lows.... Getting sunburn horribly on my arm :( missing just a patch with my sunscreen.
Not having enough video space to get the guy dancing on youtube.

A great day... (and like the last concert I've listened to the Muse CD first thing today :)

Our big day out ends

And another BDO comes to a close. Muse were fantastic as expected the killers were great although a bit short. We ducked out early from took to get an early bus home. I'll probably have a full run down tomorrow.

BDO! Update Jet now! Muse soon

Only 20mins til muse! Excitement building! They've finished setting up the screens and the stage looks awesome

Big day out so far

Highlights so far: lily allen, Evermore, afra & the incredible beatbox, dj aniki. The other acts we've caught: Butterfly effect, spazzy's eskimo joe, my chemical romance, sick puppies. Most anticipated: Muse, Jet

Bdo starts

We're at big day out sunscreened up and ready to go! We got the bus a bit early so on acts have started! So i've scored out a seat in front of the main stages in the shade... I feel old already :)
