IE7 has been released after what has appeared to be a fairly rigourous development cycle. I’ll be interested to see how it goes - I might wait until a service pack.

Audi have a new car. I want one in the worst way. I’m not even sure if a real one exists yet, or if it is merely a concept car at this point. But I don’t care. I want one.

Google has bought YouTube. It will be interesting to see what happens from here.

My computer has been getting some work done to it, so I’ve been pretty light on with the posting. A few things I wanted to mention:

• Settling into the new house is going well, albeit slowly. I’m okay with that, as I’ve had enough rushing about to last me a while. I actually realised on Saturday morning for the first time that from my driveway I have a great view all the way across Moreton Bay, and I can quite distinctly make out the enormous sand dunes on Moreton Island. It is not a bad view at all.
• My Mum rang from South Korea, but I missed the call. If you’re reading this Mum (and you’d better be!), I’ll try to call in the next few days.
• My friends Sven and Marie are having a baby! Their little girl Indie will have a baby brother or sister in just under 8 months time. Congratulations!
• Watched the Bathurst 1000 V8 Supercar race yesterday at Sven and Marie’s house, while cooking a pig on a spit. Craig Lowndes won the race, which I was happy about. Sadly he won it in a Ford. Bah! But good beer and even better company makes for an excellent day all round.
• On a scarier note, North Korea has about 30 minutes ago announced that they have tested a nuclear weapon. Apparently it is too early yet for external experts to agree on whether the test was real or not, but either way it is going to be an interesting development.

It has been a while since I’ve posted anything. I’ve been flat out moving house, and dealing with all the drama’s associated with that. Luckily, the worst of it is over now, and I now get to focus on unpacking at my new residence. I’m share-housing with four other musicians, all of whom are much better than I am, so I expect to learn a thing or two. It will be a bit more crowded than I am used to, but I’m sure I’ll have fun.

Since I’ve posted last, the Bronco’s won the NRL grand final by defeating the Melbourne Storm. I can tell you I was excited! I think the Storm would have been deserving victors, but the Bronco’s are certainly worthy champions. I was glad to see Shane Webcke going out on a high.

Also, some of the acts for next years Big Day Out music festival have been announced. The Violent Femmes and The Killers are two acts I have never seen that I would like to.

Anyway, there has been much else I’ve wanted to post on, but haven’t had time, so I’ll be catching up over the next couple of weeks.
