Ow yah, you betcha!

Maybe if he wore his long-sleeved jersey, he would stand out more. (Or maybe deep down inside i'd prefer to see his muscley arms) So either way without sleeves is cool for me.

WTF happened last night. RWO seemed to crash. I was out of the chatroom, couldnt get back on here, SEN was on (for the ads) and off (for the count), the AFL site was 1/2 an hour behind at times... anyway

Well done Kirky. Well done Anniswan. Thankyou for the commentary. It was much appreciated by this northern swan.

It wasn't just RWO. It was ALL websites at that location (including the host providers OWN website). It may not have been their problem though - could have been a network problem between here and there (I should have run a traceroute, but I didn't). All OK now though

Thanks js. None of that means a lot to me but it sounds as though it was serious. It felt a little bit like being left at the shops by your parents last night. I went out of the room and when I came back everyone was gone and there was no way of finding them again... It brought a few memories back actually... Mum, if you're out there...

Oh ma god! Charming re the memories *draws a tear*



That dude couldn't pronounce the players names correctly when he was reading them out for the rounds. Was it that Demitriou somebody??

Anyone got his SMS details so that we can spoil the surprise?

well, when you have 3 drones and a chanter humming all at once and constantly, the workout is kinda exhilarating

Don't worry John....you were right - it was all FUBAR'ed for the night.

[BAM_BAM]

I kept having problems on SEN so thought I'd beg someone to post the votes when I tried I couldn't get into RWO. So it was off to bed early. I set the viedo so I could watch it if anything exciting happened.

And I was thinking if only I had broadband. I nearly had myself convinced last night that I needed it.

Broadband/Cable is heaven. But it only becomes useful if you are on the net 24/7 like me.

In the end it is all worth it. I had the Brownlows on TV and then RWO screwed so I was glad i wasn't the only one

Assuming you have more than one PC in the house get a gateway router and then you can all be online at the same time. No more sharing!

Here is the explanation from the server provider.....

Due to a massive underground explosion in Baltimore city, our building lost power. The battery backup solution was immediately activated with the loss of power.

Our secondary power feed, which comes directly from the city grid, was initialised. After the emergency power cutover, the city ordered the immediate shutdown to the power grid. This grid spans for 26 city blocks. This disabled our redundant power solution.

We immediately went to our third solution and brought in our generator. All NOC and Systems Administrator personnel are on-site working to bring all servers online at this time.

Yesh, there is my PC, my bro's lap top, my lap top, my other 2 computers, my dads computer and the new one coming (and my mums too) we are getting them all networked. I can't wait!

NO MORE "BO GET OFF THE COMP I NEED IT"!!!!



You get to be online all day & night without getting d/c like my old dial up d/c me every 4 hours [that was the scummy plan so they made $$$]

If you are downloading mp3's etc, you can keep them running with cable on.

But then you get limited downloads and if you exceed the monthly limit (ours is 1 Gig) your net speed goes twice as slower as 56k dial up modem so you dont wanna go there!

It will cost alot to get unlimited downloads but it depends on what suits YOU. Do you download alot? Are u a net freak?
