Big Walk in 6 days!

This Sunday, I'm doing the Big Walk - 18km from Perth to Fremantle. I'm really looking forward to it - I'll get Saturday night to myself as well. But the Big Walk is an excellent event that is always a lot of fun; great atmosphere, especially when it's a nice warm day. You do the walk, then you can have lunch in Fremantle and take a look around the Freo markets. That reminds me - the weather is getting warmer, maybe the Joondalup markets will be starting again soon.

I get the feeling that my co-worker doesn't much like her Ubuntu-based computer. I think it "oops"es on shutdown because of all the kernel modules I loaded, or because the wireless card isn't actually shutting down properly. Bloody proprietary hardware.

My MP3 player is 10 days away. According to the Sony rep, drag 'n' drop is "the way things are going". Let's hope it is, because the idea of having to use extra software just to put songs onto an MP3 player has always disgusted and mystified my father and I. How come Sony can do it sans-software and Apple can't? Maybe, shockingly, the Sony machine is just smarter than an iPod?

I'm listening to an album of reggae cover versions. It makes me laugh how they occasionally change the lyrics to be more Jamaican.

Angelica put some more pictures up, two of them seem to have been taken with me in mind :-)  But one of them, I can't get into! I tried Firefox and Epiphany, but it sorta looks like they've been blocked by Friendster. Oh well, I'm sure she'll send them to me at some point, if I swap for some risque pics of myself! :-)
