Yip well I've sent away a deposit on a $950 Suzuki SJ50, will collect it in Christchurch between the sixth and the ninth, depending on when I have free time away from the flying nationals. Edit: Got dads old motorbike gloves, once I can afford it I'll get some Kevlar jeans as well. Further edit: Talking to lots of people, it seems that scooters are no more dangerous than motorbikes. The idea is to be able to go 60kph on the flat when needed, and ride in the right wheel track of the lane. Since I'll be doing most riding in no more than 70kph areas then this'll be easily...

Love photography myself great composition, subject matter and loads of colour. Great work Andrew. Her are some of mine.

Good to see pro-street. Been meaning to download the demo for the xbox. Nice shots of TDU as well :D

I played the cornet when I was in high school, it was a s**t instrument. I wanted to play a real trumpet

Say James, how much are you looking to spend? Reason I ask is I may be selling mine on trademe in the very near future, as I also need to upgrade (Im going to a 650-700W one). Im thinking its probably going to sell for around $50-70. Heres a review of it if you want Even buying one new will only set you back about $100, and it is a very very good PSU. Also, dont get a no name one. You will kick yourself when it blows up and takes everything with it.

Usually it's just from the kerbside into a driveway or something. Another one they can get you to do is to reverse 20-30m along the kerb in a straight line; a skill I have yet to try out in the 'real world'... Alex

i was pretty happy. lvl1 with merit. 121 credits overall. i failed two japanese standards (but i dont care) failed one english and one geo (disappointed but not affected). two E's two M's and two A's in maths, 2 E's 1 M and an A in science. good across the board really. time to update my CV!

I saw it at about 9.25 as it crossed half the sky then disappeared into clouds- much faster than an aircraft and just looked like a bright star, although no other stars were out at that time. This was the 2nd time I've seen it in about a year and it's still pretty impressive!

You lost a "big one" today. But he wasn't a youngster anymore. He had beautiful life.........

New Motorola KRZR K1 Vodafone. New Nokia on Telecom previous one crapped itself. Box of Chockys And an undisclosed amount of money added to my trust fund no one will say how much and I really wanna know damnit lol. And for New Years day I got given one heck of a Headache 1 Semi-Black Eye, Bruised Ribs and a Bruised Shoulder (And no I didnt fall over lol some moron got a little over-excited and hit me a few times while dancing) SQ350

Yea, welcome back Matlo, long time no see. :thumbup: Alex

Thought it was an aftershock myself, but it was a differant one somewhere in the Christchurch area. Thanks James

Thanks guys.

Harvey normans usually have an apple section with more specific staff

Damn :lol: No 4 day weekend then...

QUOTE Ditto above. I feel a lot better now, when I spend a whole week editing up a pathetic little 5 minute movie, the urge doesn't return for at least a month or so. That equates to no more than 10 movie clips a year, and it's reasonably depressing. But when you hear the time it might actually take, it gives hope! If you make a movie by yourself then its obviously quite hard to make a full feature movie, 5 minutes is a good length for 1 person to make a good movie though. :thumbup: The main reason It took me so long was the fact that a lot of the shots were computer generated. I...

Yay! adjusting the mic worked... I tested it last weekend and it seemed to be working OK albeit with the aircraft on ground and engine off... but by messing with the squelch on the intercom, the voice activation appeared to 'shut off' as it should... I also got my NR-10 earphones... tested them out (plugged into mp3 player) mowing the lawns... worked just as well (if not better) than my normal ear protectors, plus i got to listen to music ;) So the finished Mark I unit looks something like this: still needs some tidy up work (heatshrinking and redoing some of the wiring)... but it...
