The Macquarie Dictionary is taking votes for the word of the year 2007, but only up until January 31st.

Just in case you’re expecting your CDMA phone to still work after January 28th, Telstra will happily sell you a Next G phone instead.

Lets see if it works from Safari this time… If you see this, Yay

Happy New Year all! So far this year

•  New Year’s Eve party (Thanks to everyone who turned up (and or washed up, you know who you are!)). New Year’s Eve was celebrated 3 times, once at 9pm for the kids, once at midnight, and once 1 am for all those people who don’t believe in daylight savings
• Most of the week down in Mandurah. Caught the bus-train-bus down. Cost $8.10 for a DayRider ticket, and was pretty good entertainment for Puggle. Mandurah bus connection was a bit flaky on a public holiday, and the aircon was stuck on heat. Time door to door was 2 hours, which Google Maps lists as 88km, 1 hour 26 minutes if you drive it. Conveniently you don’t need to get off the train if you’re coming from the Northern line. Yay for more rail infrastructure!
• Catching up with friends
  
• Done backups, upgraded WordPress to plug some security holes (which I feel more justified in bothering to do given that the next release has been delayed until March.)
• Have almost managed to relax, in time to feel motivated to achieve stuff. Unfortunately it’s back to work tomorrow Or rather, probably later tonight.
