Ok, so I finally got around to calling Rosemary Nixon, the dermatologist that Ms Mupper recommended, I now have an appointment in march, but the lady who took my booking said I need a referral to actually see her...
I'm a little confused as to how it works and the office lady wasn't exactly volunteering information at all. In fact once she heard I didn't have a referral and that I'd just found RN's contact details off the internet after hearing she was a good dermatologist she became pretty keen to get me off the phone... I've still got the booking though.
So from the few snippets I got from her I figure I need to make an appointment with a GP and then basically walk in and give the details of the referral I want. Seems a bit odd to me. |

I can see a whole lot of issues with this, but it's also extremely awesome, promising tech and has a BBC science style sound track which is like an awesome multiplier |

So our team made the finals, yay
but then we lost all our girls and now we can't play em. BOO
I'm hoping we can pull together a team for the mens league, that's a lot more competitive though, probably two nights a week (one training) and the only trainers we've found are in altona or dandenong, so I dunno. If it all falls apart maybe I'll move into more nights dancing, or ultimate frisbee, or just join a random established team.
In other news I'm cutting out Dairy, Chocolate, Coffee and Alcohol until Christmas (about three months) to see if it has any effect on my eczema. I'm really hoping dairy and Acohol isn't a major factor, but I am hoping that it makes a difference as itching all the time sucks, as does looking like a leper. |

Need to find and visit a dermatologist. Have had a pretty sizeable rash/exma like thing on my leg for many months now, 0.5 cortisone isn't really having much effect on it any more and it's itchy as fuck.
Now I have to get over my instinctive mistrust of doctors and find someone who'll explain shit to me :( |

So I looked at my friends page on Tuesday, and looked again now, and the new reading list is overflowed.
Well news from Eden is:
1 - We have a working dishwasher (yay)
2 - The leak in the flu for the heater down the back is fixed and only cost me $120, SCORE!
3 - Replacing the heater with another relatively shit one will cost me approx $1500. Central will heat the whole house and be VASTLY more efficient in terms of gas burnt to heat in house and cost approx $4000. Guess what I'll be having installed this summer
4 - Second quote for the guttering is at $3300... damn, on the plus side they reckon the job's not looking too desperate, so I can probably put it off for 3-6 months.
The house continues to be a joy to live in but a drain on the wallet. Amanda and I currently have approximately negative $350 thousand... :( I've started to look at expenses and instantly translate them to additional days/months on the loan, it's effective at helping me save. |

| MY COMPUTER IS ON FIRE!?!?!?! |

So last night before heading out to movie night I was trying to retrieve some old files from my ancient desktop, I turned it on and went to swap some network plugs around when I smelt a horrible "electronics burning" smell.
I quickly turned everything off and unplugged everything.
Opened up both my new and old computers, couldn't see any visible damage, couldn't really tell where the problem was.
So I moved my expensive new computer away and plugged my old one back in, turned it on, and immediately heard some fizzling, looked behind it and saw a few small flames coming out of my power cable. EEP! I turned it off and unplugged it as quick as I could, the power cable had a small hole in it with a bit of ash where the wires used to run.
I've thrown it out now. Hopefully this was just the extremely old power supply unit in the older computer playing up or a defective cable or something and hopefully my files are still intact. I'm not so fussed about my own stuff, but Amanda's hdd was in there too and it had a lot of old photo's she won't want to lose. |

Ok, so I've got some work that needs doing on my house (gas, plumbing, gutters etc) and so far the biggest PITA has been finding someone who works on the specific brand of heater that I'm trying to get fixed/removed.
I just stumbled on www.servicecentral.com.au and it seems like it could make it all a whole lot easier.
You just put in the details of the job you need done, and then tradeys who are signed up to the sight see it, if they're interested in the job they contact you and you can select the best offer.
Much better than paging through the phone book. |

In case people aren't already aware, the game Demigod, now has a free demo, which, as I understand it, allows for unlimited time, using one of 4 demigods on one map and it is compatible with the full version.
The demigods include regulus and erebus, and cataract, those are both awesome demigods and a great map, so if you haven't bought it, but still like it and want to play, then get yourself an impulse account and pester Luke, Rory, Geoff or myself when you see us online. |

I think I already posted this, but in case I didn't or in case you missed it, I'm starting up another volley ball team, got 3 players so far, need a minimum of 4 and a preferred max of 6.
Games are at action sports in doncaster (blackburn road not far north of the eastern freeway) and are sunday-thursday from 7pm to 8:40pm. They can work around our preferences fairly well if people can't do certain nights or if we need early/late games.
If you want to play or know anyone who wants to play, it's $60 per game divided evenly, (so $10 to $15 depending on how many players we get) and $10 for registration, which you can pay after you've had a few games if you just want to try it out.
We're not super skilled, but we're keen to have a more competitive/focussed team this time rather than just social play. That basically boils down to not missing games and trying to get at least 1 training session in per month. So far we've located trainers in Altona and Dandenong (yeah inconvenient isn't it, sigh) |

Jonie and Ben, I found the second brush for the drum kit (it was in a box in the spare room)
Someone at the LAN (adrian?) asked if I had any web-cam's and it turns out I did have one left. |
