Ok, so it’s been in less than a week but I’m IMPATIENT godammit! I’m going to have to not be impatient, because we have a very long wait stretching out in front of us. Still, easier said than done. Anyway, popping in by the migration agent’s office on Monday to pick up out passports, certificates,

Well, continuing with God of War – I’ve complet0r4ted the bottom levels of Pandora’s temple. I had to navigate an extremely annoying section whereby I had to wander about aimlessly on some very narrow beams very high in the air, and jump over nasty spinny blade things. I think I died about forty times (at

Muhh – challenge of Atlas and Cliffs of Atlas pwn0red. <b>And</b> I yanked the head off some poor dead guy to use his skull as a key. No, really! And then I jumped onto a big rolly spiky thing and barrel-ran along it and jumped onto a ladder. Or was that before the head-pulling bit?

I think I’m making some really progress now. With the assistance of my contact in Australia, I’ve completed the first draft of the ACS application form and the RPL documents. It’s been a long slog because there really is a vast amount of documentation that needs to be prepared. There’s lots of different sections: firstly,

At long last, nelefa.org has returned to its spiritual home, on the server of Yoyo Internet Services. This illustrious collective have been around since, ohhhh, way back when, and it’s all their fault that I’m in the Internet industry. Gits.

Popped the keys off and shoved em in the dishwasher. Gave the board itself a dose of wirebrush and dettol and it’s as good as new. i can see the letters and everthing! Shift key was a bit sticky, but it was just a little clippy thing which wasn’t bedded in properly. So, hooray!
