A question.

I've been looking at getting a web domain for this blog.  Maybe a .net - they just seem more classy.  I've been rather surprised at how much I actually like blogging now.  I wasn't really into it before, I had a livejournal but I gave up on it years ago.  Maybe I've gotten old.

I've know a couple of people who use godaddy, and they're doing alright with them.  I'm looking at yahoo or crazydomains as well.  I'm just researching the idea, seeing if it's worth it.

I'm hoping to get some feedback on domain providers and see if anyone has got recommendations or stories about them.

My trip.

Flew into Alice Springs on Friday morning, fixed up the offices and flew out Saturday evening.  I'd never seen so many Landcruisers in one place in my entire life.  One of those Landcruiser-driving dickheads scratched the rental car, but my friend and main contractor got the money out of them.  The job itself was basic - we just replaced old computers with new ones and made them work with government systems.

Alice Springs was a lot nicer than I was expecting it be.  My impression of the place was that it was a crime-infested shithole that just happened to be relatively close to Uluru.  My current impression of the place is that it's a gorgeous, scenic, somewhat crime-infested shithole that is relatively close to Uluru.  It's surprisingly charming.  Cold as shit in the morning because it's basically in the middle of the desert though.

I've got free accommodation there, I might take a short holiday there to see the touristy sights.

Steve Jobs.

His resignation is a surprise.  This is in spite of the fact that he's been sick for a long time.  I was expecting Apple to graft his head onto a robot body or something.  I imagine Tim Cook will do alright steering that Apple juggernaut around.


Flip-open, metallic candy red iPhone 5s won't ever happen.

Waiting.

I'm really just waiting to get down to Alice Springs to finish this job.  I fly out on Friday morning.  I guess this week has been so uneventful that I'm just itching to do this stupid thing.  I just want to get this done and get paid so I can get my rego done.

I've never been to Alice Springs, so I'm kind of interested to see how bad or good it might be.  I'm only there for two days, so it's not like I'll get a decent feel of the place, but still...  When I moved to Darwin back in 2001 with my dad, we bypassed it completely.

We'll see what happens.

This week's events.

Well, Friday was horrible.  I spent 14 hours doing this one particular office, it was awful.  Though it worked out in the end because Saturday was a two hour job.  Today was a short one as well.

People who work in the government are fucking slobs by the way.

Next week should be pretty interesting.

Oh chillax, you such a crazy word.

I start up the second week of that temp job with Centrelink tomorrow.  It's not going to be difficult, but as it will go through the whole weekend, I won't have a day off until the 28th.  On the last week, I'll be flying to Alice Springs to upgrade that office.

I remember saying to someone once that the only way I'd ever go to Alice was if you paid me.  Funny how that turned out.

Anyway, here is an early sexgiving video.  I know you all celebrate sexgiving like I do, and the only way to do that is with Turquoise Jeep.  Or Kevin Bloody Wilson.

Click clack.

Slow and uneventful days are slow and uneventful.  Some people would say that it is a blessing.  I don't know, I'd like a bit of eventful once in a while.

Not this eventful, of course.
