So I disappeared for a few days earlier on in the week (Monday - Thursday) for a bit of a holiday down to Berry. Photos? Of course.
On the trip down the coast..
Great landscapes
Star Trails
A fun “photo shoot”..
Lots of fun..

Brilliant. Just brilliant.
You don’t block the home page for MyBB but you block the community forums. I guess MyBB will no longer be used as a classroom resource for Tafe.

Mozilla Firefox using 330mb Memory, 1 window & 1 tab
http://www.surfionline.com/archives/2007/04/03/mozilla-firefox-using-330mb-memory-1-window-1-tab/
What a joke.
Firefox is a decent browser, but seriously.. 330mb for one browser window with one tab?
I only have two extensions installed - the Web Developer Toolbar and Firebug.
I’m changing to Opera when I’m using Windows from now on.
