Needs a new Phone
My phone died today...
I don't know how it happened, but all of a sudden, the screen on my phone just cracked. It's been one and a half years, the memories I shared between myself and the phone, but it looks like it has had it after the $112 ordeal last month (stupid expensive phone contracts), and went to high heaven.
This is what it looks like now:
Pretty colours eh?
According to the "Nokia PC Suite", I've managed to back up all the contacts from my phone, and I can transfer them to any other model. Let's hope this is the case.
Continuing the malfunctioning technological equipment theme, whilst I was vacuuming my room yesterday, I managed to suck my earphones into the nozzle, and get it wrapped around the rotating head. I somehow managed to prise it back out and, miraculously, still works! It would have been touch if it didn't....I only had the earphones for less than a year.
Furthermore, one of the lights has gone out in my room, and Essendon lost by 4 points :(
So it's not going well for me this weekend.....not so far, anyway.
P.S. I turned on my old phone for a bit of phone testing....which meant I now had three different appliances connected to three different networks!
Phone on the left (the busted one) is connected to 3/Hutchison 3G network, phone on the left is Telstra GSM, and the thing sitting on top of the "Ravnica" box is connected to the Vodafone/Optus - very pathetic - 3G network.
Morituri te salutant
So I figure I should at least start some sort of diary again, before I head off to Perth, and lacking any good material to write on (and knowing that my atrocious handwriting is not befitting of my glorious life), I'll attempt to revive this blog.
Though, it's proving harder than I thought - the wireless mobile broadband that I signed up to, which I hoped to be the panacea of all my internet woes, has dropped out for the fourth time tonight. I am quite looking forward to moving to Perth, and with the move, maybe the promise of some proper internet.
So, in a day from today, the teaching period for Semester 1 will come to an end. Hence the title of this entry - "those who are about to die salute you" - in reference to the fact that exams are coming. Despite this, tonight is a night of relative relaxation, since the final year chemical engineers have just completed the last major assignment for the semester - naturally, we celebrated by drinking. It had been the source of pure hell for most people. The night before, I, for some reason, could not sleep (thinking about distillation columns, heat conduction, and kitten huffing), came online at 2AM to find people still doing the assignment. I woke up again at 4AM - apparently people were still up, or only just starting to sleep again. A friend of mine slept at 7AM
- only to be woken at 7:30 by a call from BlueScope Steel. Poor man.
But that is behind us now, and all that remains, is the glorious future ahead. Morituri te salutant - indeed.
Also today, I managed to take a picture of that crane that fell over - you might have seen this in the news recently.
I wanted to do something like those internet memes you see around - and place the word FAIL on it, and some reference to the Melbourne Model, but I can't be bothered. Too lazy. Maybe in time.
So, in parting, we shall see how long this manages to survive. I have other blogs out there, I have no idea where they are, somewhere, somehow, they may survive. But it must, and that requires encouragement...
Enjoy.
