Just so that it doesn't get too quiet here, here's some of what I've been busy with during the last week and a bit:

• Inching closer to ADSL (I've decided upon a Netgear modem, but need to wait for some final checks to see if my phone line/exchange can support ADSL)
  
• Read two good books, The 47 Ronin Story, and also Geeks
  
• Installed Red Hat 8.0 (twice, I managed to break X somehow.. ugly stuff.)
  
• Had a beautiful weekend in Katoomba
  
• Made a list of museums to visit, starting off with The Art Gallery NSW
  
• Saw LoTR Two Towers (awesome, but was expecting more of Gandalf .. I haven't read the books)
  
  
• made it to the next level on Splinter Cell
  
• got my head around a design pattern, great article by Doug Purdy
  
• and finally, several hours of driving with the instructor (*cough* still don't have my licence yet)
