Google Talk - Free File

2005-08-28T22:05:00.000+10:00

Google is moving into instant messaging.

* Choice: Get in touch how and when you want to–over email, IM or a call

* Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room

* Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away

Google Talk is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password. (if you want a invite to gmail email me re. invite

From what I see it looks nice, the interface is google like (very simple).

Free File - Keepass

2005-08-03T00:48:00.000+10:00

If you're like me you have 100's of passwords for 100's of sites,
I've found this cool little app that'll work on a CD, Floppy (who uses them) or USB flash key.
Now I never leave home without my MP3 players, I have a Zen and a USB Flash mp3 player. I use the Flash one more for jogging and keeping doc on it, now I can keep all my passwords on it.
You need a password to get in to it, but after that you can store all your sites, passwords and user names and never forget them.

Now because you can install it on the USB flash you don't need it on every PC you use, just say that you want to use a school computer to check you treehouse mail, but the password is hard to remember because you don't want you floks reading it, well install Keepass on the flash and they'll never know that password.

You can download it from HERE

Hope you enjoy it

Firefox or IE?

2005-08-02T00:16:00.000+10:00

Just saw a post in a forum about IE vs Firefox and I've gotta tell you unless you have to use windows update there isn't a need for IE at all.

I still can't believe there are people out there who use IE for their everyday use, not only is Firefox safer, it has so many cool features.

Once you use it and get used to Tab browsing, "Ctrl - click on link" opens new tab, you'll never go back.
There are still some sites that it's not too good with about from windows update, but those sites are coming around.
The password manger is good, it has a great built in pop-up blocker, the add-ons are great and there are so many.

I can't believe this, my favoirte housemate in Big Brother 05 was kicked out last night.

It's all because during the week she said that "seeing 2 men kiss is a turn off"

London bombed again

2005-07-21T23:27:00.000+10:00

It seems the assholes are at it again, Lodon was rocked by what seems like a nail bomb.

"By ROBERT BARR, Associated Press Writer 7 minutes ago

LONDON - Two weeks after suicide attacks on subway stations and a bus, police evacuated three subway stations and a bus after reports of smoke and an explosion Thursday. Police said one person was hurt but it was not a "major incident."

The bus operator said the windows of the double-decker bus were blown out.

Police announced they were sending emergency teams to the Warren Street, Shepherds Bush and Oval stations after reports at lunch time of unspecified incidents. One witness told Sky TV that another subway passenger told him a backpack exploded at the Warren Street station and there were reports of smoke.

Prime Minister Tony Blair canceled his afternoon appointments as the developments unfolded.

More than an hour after the reports, Metropolitan Police said they were not treating it as a major incident on a par with the July 7 attacks the killed 56 people, including four suicide bombers.

However, the incidents were hauntingly similar to the blasts two weeks ago, which involved explosions at three Underground stations simultaneously — quickly followed by a blast on a bus. Those bombings, during the morning rush hour, also occurred in the center of London, hitting the Underground railway from various directions.

Thursday's incidents, however, were more geographically spread out.

London Ambulance said it was called to the Oval station at 12:38 p.m. and Warren Street at 12:45 p.m. The July 7 attacks began at 8:51 a.m."

I love this song!

2005-07-17T22:29:00.000+10:00

Is there anybody out there who also loves Ben Lee's song "Catch My Disease"
If you haven't heard it yet, run out and buy it.
Here are the Lyrics

My head is a box full of nothing
and that's the way I like it
My garden's a secret compartment
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
Your body's a dream that turns violent
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
The winter is long in the city
and that's the way I like it

So please
baby please
Open your heart
Catch my disease

I was backstage in Pomona
and that's the way I like it
She drank beer with coca-cola
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
She told me about the winds from Santa Anna
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
She told me she loved me like fireworks
and that's the way I like it

So please
baby please
Open your eyes
Catch my disease

So please (PLEASE!)
baby please
Come on
Catch my disease
Catch it

Na na na na na na na na na

They play Good Charlotte on the radio
and that's the way I like it

They play Sleepy Jackson on the radio
and that's the way I like it
and that's the way I like it
I hear Beyonce on the radio
and that's the way I like it
cos that's the way I like it
They don't play me on the radio (whoo!)
But that's the way I like it

So please
baby please
Open your heart
and catch my disease
So please
baby please
Come on
Catch my disease
(catch my disease)
nanananananananana
(catch my disease)
nanananananananana
(catch my disease)
nanananananananana

(catch my disease)

It's got a really catchy tune and will be stuck in your head and get you smiling all day.

Been awhile?

2005-06-29T15:46:00.000+10:00

sorry for not updatin but I've been busy.

Work sucks, dad wants me to cut the number of staff at work, but they are all really good and I get along with each and every one of them. All seem happy with the hours and pay and I don't really want to let anyone go.
I had RAM die on my on monday so I had to but a Gig of RAM on tuesday, cost me a whole $130AUD which was really cheap.
It's by A-Data DDR 400 (I don't need DDR2 yet).
I also bought a cool case on sunday for my computer.

There's not much else going on with me so I'll let ya'll go.

Think about it!

2005-06-07T21:26:00.000+10:00

Maybe I’m over thinking. Are they reactions or under-practiced emotions? You may say to yourself, justify, just, you may not mind, though, then is your mind right? Is it feelings, or is it selfish? Does what matter to you matter? Are you asking questions or making statements. Shall you ever justify your feelings absolutely? Is there a reason behind your waiting? For such a slight change, and with so much wondrous love, should it be rushed, if not, will it ever change? Will your reflections slowly decisive, yet optimistic path. Each way I’m sorry. Will I change or will they... May I change... Or will what disturbs me destroy us?

Last weekend

2005-06-07T09:20:00.000+10:00

Had a huge weekend!
Friday was my birthday (don't ask how old) and well I had drinks & lunch with my 2 best friends Charlotte and Lisa, before heading to the football to see Collingwood play Geelong. The Pies won so that put us in an even better mood.
After the football we headed to a bar in the city - Bliss in Queens street. It was pretty cool in there, lots of guys, cheapish drinks and great music, I will be going back there soon I think.

We headed down to Brunswick st at about 4:30am looking for food, lol. everything was closed so we headed in a taxi to McDonald's so I could get a cheese-burger then back to my place where we listened to music untill we all fell asleep on my bed.

Sat'day was a relaxing day before 5, then I had to get ready for The Doggie Ball at my friends football club. It happens every year and is getting bigger. This year they held it at Doyels which seems like a nice place over looking a river.
We ended up going to The Redfin which is a hole, 15 minutes there was like a year in a Bali jail ;)
After about 1:30am I had to get out of there so we hopped in a cab and went to the Metro.
Not sure what time we got home but the little ol' sun was coming up.

Sunday got up around midday and I thought it was going to be a relaxing day but the sunday was up and a few friends thought it would be a great idea to have a BBQ.....AT MY PLACE!
