unknown terrirtory

Well - my first post to a blog. Despite working with computers all day in the branch library and working my way through year 11 computers at a night class last year, as well as having just updated my personal computer at home - I've managed to avoid almost all things like blogs, facebook, myspace etc lol. I am an avid user of skype (1 child in Canada for 2 years, 1 at Campbelltown and the 3rd in Canberra) meant that unless I used skype my phone bills would be awfully expensive. I have managed to cut my quarterly landline/mobile combination accounts by $100 per bill. I had a brief experience with myspace when a cousin posted photos of her 6 month work stint in Canada on myspace. I was able to capture her photos and print them off for my 88 year old mother in law.
I watched Stephen Fry with interest, but because I had just watched a whole dvd of 'A little bit of Fry & Laurie' I found it hard to concentrate on the more serious nature of his chat. I kept looking for the underlying humour and not finding it. As Stephen said it's fantastic to be able recapture lost episodes of tv shows and fill in the gaps. It's amazing how we remember all these years later missing out on a particular part of a show. We missed out on a lot of shows because we had only the abc and one local channel. We read the tv show guides and really wanted to watch some of the shows we saw advertised in the Sydney region.

that's it for now
