Looks like the new graphics card is going OK.
I’m trying to get my shit packed up at the moment so that I can move into a new place! Yee. Should be fun; it’s a fairly old Queenslander-style house, 1920s vintage apparently, owned by the first people in Salisbury (a southern suburb of Brisbane, Australia). They used to have a bunch of land but sold it all off as subdivisions, and now there’s just a little house on a little block, in behind all the other houses. This bloke is putting in a new kitchen and bathroom, and we’re moving in. Should be interesting.
I had intentions for this blog of being something interesting, with useful comments about the workings of the world. But it’s just turning out to be the usual blahblah about my life. I’ll try not to do this. If you’re reading this I’m surprised, anyway.
Registered janebrosnan.com today for the cool girl of the same name.
I’ve been looking at IP Australia’s site tonight, trying to clue up at least a little bit on intellectual property and all that kind of interestingness. It’d be a bitch to create stuff and then have it copied, then to have no legal recourse. Like Frank Bannigan of Kambrook, who was MD when they invented the power-board, and didn’t patent it. Then it was copied by every kid and his Grandma, who now sell them for 5c on every street corner, or something.
A friend also showed me australia.internet.com, who knew about it? Not me. And we want to go to Search Engine Strategies 2003, but who can afford $1200 for the two days? Or even $780 for one day? Not us, poor uni students we are. Next year, next year. Even though there’s going to be people there from Google, Looksmart, Altavista and Yahoo there. Check out those names, all in a row.
