I believe I have spent enough time now complaining about Brisbane and the people here and have finally decided to do something about it thanks to an article my good friend Lisa sent me. The article said something I’ve read before but it didn’t sink in until tonight.
I had joined meetup.com in about 2003 but there wasn’t much I was interested in back then. Tonight I had a look and joined about 12 or so meetup groups. I will have many new activities to do and meet new people and make new friends. It’s about time too. Renee was prodding me in this direction as well but I didn’t listen.
I also joined groups with activities for you to do and you can bring your kids along so that will be quite good for both of us.
Thanks, friends. What would I do without you?
All that and I didn’t pass on the gist of the article. Well, it was this:
“If you always do what you’ve always done you will get what you’ve always got.”
Brilliant advice.

Optimistic
Thursday, September 4th, 2008Working the weekend away
Saturday, August 30th, 2008Today I’ve had to drop Sienna off home so I could go into work. We had issues during the week with the bank’s network. It seems fixed but they want us to be onsite just in case something happens. I will be back again tomorrow mirning too. So here I am getting more acquainted with my new iPhone and all the fun games I have downloaded.
This week I downloaded Zen Pinball: rollercoaster and it is amazingly fun! Go google the name or check out the demo I put on the AusPUG Review forum.
One thing working well with this platform is I am actually paying for games. They are usually priced under AUD$10. Brilliant!
So far I bought Apple’s Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, Zen Pinball, Koi fish and Aqua forest. None were expensive. I rarely play games on any platform but this one I am really enjoying the funkiness of the iPhone. All were definitely worth the price and come with free upgrades.
Since so am already in the city I may as well watch Riverfire live. Fireworks galore woo! And a jet flyover.
Bring on the weekend Yo!
Friday, August 29th, 2008Not much lined up yet. Have to phone my cousin Jo to see if the BBQ is on.
Got my wifi sharing going finally. Woo.
Swimming is on at 8am. Might take Sienna to the park or Geocaching this weekend and / or to the park.
One week of work left then a week leave with parents visiting then start new job!! Rawr!
Testing my new iPhone
Thursday, August 21st, 2008Yesterday I went to the local Telstra shop and bought my 16Gb black iPhone. Last night I updated it to the latest firmware and software. The first attempt failed so I had to do a restore and it worked. Then I spent the evening downloading free applications from the iTunes applications store and Googling hints and tips.
Right now I am typing this on my iphone in the Queen at mall on my iphone using the funky free WordPress client using the free Telstra Wifi access. This is nuts and totally fun!!!
