It was my brother’s birthday today (Happy Birthday Justin!). Naturally, he wanted to buy an iPhone.
Although my Dad probably feels like my li’l bro is frivolous in his technological purchases, he does take time to research them. He went into the Telstra shop on two different occasions to ask the price of an iPhone outright. He also called Telstra to make sure his GSM SIM card would work in the iPhone 3G until he wanted to upgrade to a NextG SIM.
So, he gathered his money together and went to the Telstra shop, where they fetched an iPhone and faffed around for a while. They told us that it was taking a while because they couldn’t find the form that is required to sell an iPhone outright; apparently Telstra changed the website and the link to the form didn’t work anymore (reassuring for a telecommunications company don’t you think?).

LaTeX is a document markup system, which helps you to focus on what you’re writing and reduces some of the hassle of tedious tasks like adding references and numbering sections, figures and tables. It also natively handles footnotes, table of contents, lists of figures, lists of tables, headers, footers, margin notes and probably a hundred other things.

Hey crew,
Hope you had a good Halloween, or lack there of (as I did). Just a short note to say w00t! I handed in my thesis yesterday. I am now free to do stuff I enjoy, plus some cooking and cleaning and real life stuff. Sweet.
Also, last month was Breast Cancer Awareness month. This month is Movember for men’s health. Mat Packer has shaved off his enormous beard to grow a moustache and raise some money, and raise some awareness of men’s health issues… that’s right, they’re not as unbreakable as we all like to pretend.
Have a great Movember! Good luck with the election America!
