Attack of the Non-fatal Updates
The title of this entry is dreadful, and probably should be replaced, but it won't be. Deal with it.
Yesterday I hired a car and gave a presentation to one consultancy job 20km from town, met with another potential client 70km from town, had a stroll along a beach at the Gold Coast 92km from town, drove back to have lunch 84km from town and then continued on to work where I had another meeting in town. I think I clocked about 210km for a period of about 6 hours. Not exactly far, but more than my own little car likes to deal with in one hit - hence hiring a reliable vehicle. I've always loved just getting in to a car and driving anywhere, but I hate worrying about the mechanical integrity of the vehicle I'm driving. Having a comfortable vehicle that you know has been serviced perfectly, is clean and detailed after every use, is air-conditioned, has a decent stereo system and has some nice grunt under the hood, is fair dinkum bliss to drive. Hiring cars is fun.
In other news:
- I have four functions to attend on Friday night, including the Brisbane Bloggers inaugural meeting
- 10Gb of high speed internet connectivity looks like it will do me for the month (I've used 2Gb so far this month)
- Anyone who has broadband, and who I occasionally speak to on the phone, it would be much appreciated if you could download Skype and let me know your username so I can speak to you on VoIP for free
- I've decided I need a tan (fear not, family, I'll be using fake stuff, not actually going out into the sun.... and in any case when I say "tan" I mean I intend to look less like the underside of a fish. I'll still be white, just not Snow White).

Yay for car hire
You are a little social butterfly, aren't you?
tan- cool. I must admit, a tan does make one look healthier.

Jo, you looked just fine to me in Friday night. Pity you couldn't hang around, as despite the venue being a logistical nightmare and seating at a premium, the company turned out to be quite convivial. Hope to see you at the next one.

I'd gladly experiment with new technology with you, but it doesn't seem to want to find you? Better email me with the required setup detail
