You may or may not have noticed that I seem to use my blog as a place to remember cool things i`ve seen or want, I mean I could use my favourites list, but I like this way as I add pictures and stuff, so it`s easier to remember, that and my iWoot favourites folder is so huge it`s hard to find stuff. So i`ve had my HTC Dream for a month now, i`ve found I want some accessories that I feel would make my life with it a bit better.

These would be :
A Larger Battery, going from 1150mAh as standard to 1400mAh which seems to be the largest without adding a larger battery cover :
A Mini-USB to 3.5mm adaptor so I can use normal head phones on it :
A heap of screen protectors, I`ve tended to not worry about this in the past and it has been to my detriment :
A Case, I think something like below would be good as it has the belt clip on it, but I do tend to keep it in my pocket :A Cradle, I would like 2 of these, 1 for work and 1 for home :
That`s about it for now, i`ll probably edit this post if I come across anything else I would like for the phone, but that`s my list for now, most of this stuff is on eBay pretty cheap, so i`ll be getting alot of it myself, espescially the screen protectors as I have one on now and it`s getting dirty and scratched.

Side note, Kirsty, Clone Wars have the last episode coming out on Saturday, so i`ll be sending your discs on Monday to accomodate.

Anyway, I`m outta here for the day. Bye.

Well it`s been a busy day, everyone should be following my twitter now if not :
So in the end, the Wedding band Tattoo has been called off due to common sense, basically the Tattoo shop was willing to do it, however they stress that the hand loses more skin cells than any other part of the body and it would need touching up very quickly, so onto my Misty Tattoo, i`m going to speak to Tattoo Power in North Lyneham tomorrow.
This is what i`m using as a base for it, I want to see what they can actually do before I get it though.

Busy day anyway, I have ordered a Parallel Port Cable for my new PC so we can again use the Brother laser printer and print stuff off the PC again. We picked up Azrael the little feral, he didn`t like the trip home. But is now prowling the neighborhood, we expect him home around 6am tomorrow morning realistically. He appears to have been spoilt by Granny Rob and Grandpa Pauly(Mwahahaha). He even got our postcard from North Stradbroke Island we sent.

After we picked the boy up, I then spent alot of the day setting up my Optus Online account so I can review my phone usage on the net, I also hooked up with the netbanking so I can pay my credit card off on-line, way cool.

We then fronted to Westpac to try and resolve Adele`s Credit Card issue and get a Credit Card issued in her married name(See Clare this stuff takes forever), they now reckon it`ll be here shortly(we`ll believe it when its in our hands). Then some grocery shopping, we found some low carb flat bread @ 15.8g of Carbs per tortilla $4.49, and we bought some poppadoms @ 4.3g of Carbs per poppadom to try as chips with some dip and finally home at which point my back has gone again and i’m hopped up on Voltaren and Panadol.

Now, in yesterday`s post I mentioned Twitterfeed I`m using it to feed my blog updates through to Twitter, so those of you with a blog that want to let everyone know through Twitter when you`ve updated, head over and set up an account, it can poll your RSS feed every 30 mins to check for updates.

I`m going to be burning Clare`s Wedding Photo`s to DVD`s tomorrow, so if you want a set sent to you, Leave a comment in the comments section and i`ll burn you a copy off and send it, I may need to call to get address details.

Alright, Night all. Bye.

My Birthday Meal should be :
A deep pan pepperoni pizza, with a beef patty on top, a layer of eggs, another deep pan pepperoni pizza upside down on top of that, the whole thing wrapped in bacon, battered, deep fried and then served with a hollandaise sauce. I think that should be enough

Now on another note found this :

The center of the circle is conflagration, where most people would die within 24 hours. The purple circle means 3rd degree burns, requiring medical care. The pink circle means 2nd degree burns, like burns from boiling water. And the yellow outermost circle means 1st degree burns, like a sunburn.

It`s basically Google Maps, so you can find your town and find out the affects of having a nuclear bomb dropped on it. It`s a bit morbid but interesting.

Anyway, was up late last night, couldn`t sleep till 3am, slept through to 2:30 then woke up with a headache, i`m gonna regret this on Saturday when I have to get up around 12 and go build a computer.

Anyway, till next time, Bye.

Anyway enough for today, nothing to download today, no Simpsons or Family Guy, so i`m getting more of Miami Ink, hmm wouldn`t mind that series on DVD, i`m really into the Tattoo idea, maybe I should stop watching Miami Ink, but then i`ve wanted Misty`s tatto on me for a long time, anyway, that`s it for now. Bye.

Just curious as we got Jason and Katherine`s wedding invite on Friday. So 3 questions :
1. Who is going to their wedding in the Cook Islands ?

2. Who is going to the Engagement Party in Canberra?

3. Who would go to their wedding given 12-18 months to save for it?

Our answers :
1. Nope, can`t afford it, definitely not this close to Clare and Shane`s anyway.
2. Definitely.
3. Most likely yes we could slot this in, save like mad and make it there, would enjoy it too, add another stamp to our passports, well I will, Adele needs a new one in her married name, hahahah.

And we`re very jealous of Mary and Al going to New Zealand at the end of the year, we want to do something similar next year. Remember Al, Bunjee Jumping is free in NZ if you do it naked.

Anyway, I`m kinda bored, everyone come home and update your blogs. Bye.

Still Looking for :
Decent MS Office program for Android – Both reader and editor

No before photo`s cause it was a health hazard before hand, but now as you can see the office is now tidy, I still need some more storage tubs from Big W but apart from that it`s done and looks wonderful, Adele may even be able to come in here :
Now need to get some good setup going here, we`re trying to look at wireless colour laser MFD(multi-function devices) so we can have it setup downstairs and fax, copy, print & scan all wirelessly, then i`m going to have 2 desks in here seperated by a bookcase sitting on a filing cabinet, trust me it sounds odd but will be cool, they have it setup nearly right at the Ikea at Homebush but I have changed their design a fair bit. I have drawing of it at work but I haven`t sent it home.

Alright until next time, tonight we`re either going to watch Yes Man or Role Models depending on which Adele is up for, I also have Punisher : War Zone but I don`t think Adele will be up for that. Anyway, cya all. Bye.
